The best part of my trip to New Orleans for Mardi Gras wasn’t the music, parties, and crazy costumes, but stumbling upon the wonderful Trashy Diva Lingerie store. I’d heard about Trashy Diva, and knew their reputation for quality vintage and retro-inspired clothing. The Lingerie Addict suggested I pay Trashy Diva a visit when I…
My world of lingerie got a bit bigger when I attended the 2014 fall/winter CURVExpo Designer Lingerie & Swim Show. This second of two posts shares some of the new brands that I met and a sample of the styles you can buy now, or find in stores this Fall. The vendors at the show…
Think there’s not much choice in sizes or styles in the world of lingerie? This week’s CURVExpo Lingerie & Swim Show would prove you wrong. It’s the largest lingerie trade show in the United States, with over 350 vendors. Retailers attend twice a year to decide what they want to carry in their stores. And…
I’m seeing the color red everywhere these days, except in my lingerie drawer. During awards season celebrities walk the “red carpet,” which is rolled out to signify their importance. For Valentine’s Day the color symbolizes passion and love. In the upcoming Chinese New Year holiday, red represents good luck and prosperity. It’s a power color….
How to beat winter blues when freezing temperatures have you bundled up or locked indoors? You could start with changing up the color of your lingerie. Record breaking cold weather forces us to stay warm by wearing layers of clothing: from thermal undies, woolen socks, and bulky sweaters, to thick parkas and heavy coats. But…
An adhesive backless strapless gel bra is a great fashion solution for mostly smaller busted women. I’ve never been able to wear them because they don’t seem to hold up my D+ heavier breasts. I’m a bit envious of those who can fit into these bra styles. They work well under regular clothing or breezy…
Why do small cup busts need the best strapless bras? You might think they could just go without a bra. But foundations are all about shaping and supporting us in our clothes. It doesn’t matter whether you are big or small busted. You want to look your best in whatever you’re wearing. Strapless fashions can…
Beautiful push-up bras are a great addition to any bra wardrobe. But they’re not just about adding breast size. The best ones are about perfecting boob placement. Even when mine first sprouted, they never resembled the muffin-top mounds seen in glossy fashion magazines or on lingerie models. It isn’t nature’s way for all breasts to…
Ever thought about the science behind intimate apparel trends? I didn’t until I was invited to attend A Comprehensive Taste of Interfilière Paris event in New York, earlier this month.* There I got a preview of some high-tech raw materials — before they’re styled, sewn, and eventually sold as fashionable bras, swimwear, and shapewear. And I…
Lingerie is timeless, right? That’s not always evident when I’m shopping for intimate apparel. Racks of push ups, molded cups, and skimpy thongs target the tighter skinned 20 to 30-year-old woman. These styles don’t appeal to me. As my shape shifts with age, so does my definition of what I find attractive, sensual, and alluring….
Until she wrote a book on the subject, Elisabeth Dale didn’t know much about her breasts. She created this site so that readers can find the best products, clothing and surgical options—anything and everything related to bras, breast health, and well-being.
