Have you heard? Pajama dressing is a buzzing trend! No, I’m not talking about rolling up at the supermarket still in your dressing gown. I mean pajama sets that are so chic, it would almost be a crime to not show them off in public. Pajamas can work for both daytime and fancy events. The…
The last time I went out to dinner with my parents, we got into what would have been a knock-down drag-out fight except for the fact that we were at a table in a fancy restaurant. It all started when my dad claimed that fat people didn’t have the right to buy nice work pants….
Intrigued by nipplets, also known as nipple pasties or covers? This often-overlooked lingerie accessory is perfect for all sorts of special occasions. From boudoir photo shoots to burlesque performances, they preserve your modesty and look fabulous doing it. I’m not talking about those basic, skin-toned stickers designed to smooth and hide your nipples beneath clothing….
It’s been warm here for a while, but I know that East Coasters are finally getting their first blast of warm air in months. So it’s a great time to talk about full bust and full-figured swimsuits.

“No,” she said. “No?” I asked looking down at my daughter as she gently pushed away from me. Dammit! I knew the day was coming, but I didn’t realize how painful the actuality of it would be on both my psyche and my body. And there it was, with that simple word and a gentle…

Love them or hate them, there’s no denying that the bullet bra is a lingerie icon. They’re usually associated with the 1950s. Well, that and 1990s Madonna. The style originated in the 1940s however, with Maidenform’s Chansonette bra. What is a bullet bra? We’re used to seeing bra seams go horizontally, vertically, or sometimes diagonally. The…
If you are a menstruating human in the 20 through 45 age range, you probably have been inundated with the Thinx period panty ads on Facebook and in your Google ads.

I recently shared a list of online stores selling bra-making supplies in the US and Canada. Today’s follow-up is for our European readers and lingerie sewing enthusiasts, with retailers a little closer to home. As before, this list doesn’t include fabric shops (although some stores listed do sell them). Fabrics are easy to find elsewhere….
