Are you planning a boudoir photo shoot? Perhaps even your first? Then you’re no doubt busy plotting which lingerie you’re going to wear. But don’t forget to think about the accessories too! From footwear to jewelry, it’s the accessories that complete the look. For images that look chic and polished though, don’t go overboard. Rather…
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….
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. They’re cutesy, sort of weird and also totally unavoidable. I have successfully ignored these ads for years until I read a series of environmental…
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….
Have you ever considered sewing your own lingerie? Making bras, especially wired ones, isn’t easy. It’s time-consuming, fiddly and not necessarily a cheaper alternative to buying a pre-made bra. When you factor in fabric minimums for example (most are sold by the meter, even though you’ll need much less for a bra), you may well…
Waspies don’t get written about much in the lingerie world. You may even be wondering what one is! A waspie is simply a name for a specific type of corset, an underbust one that’s particularly short. There’s no official definition, but generally speaking, a waspie corset is no more than 8” tall at the side…
Do you buy something new to wear over the holidays? I’m not talking about regular family gatherings but the seasonal office parties and neighborhood invites. You might not think of it, but lingerie bodysuits are an excellent choice as a top under simple or more formal skirts and pants. Plus you can wear them again–either…
As someone who mostly owns loose dresses and skirts, I’ve never really had to worry about visible panty lines. Then I bought myself a pair of slim-fit jeans. Suddenly briefs that I hadn’t previously noticed dug in a little bit were glaringly apparent under clothing. The jeans seemed to highlight and exaggerate the outline, creating…
Earlier this week, a group of us decided to get out of the city for a day and do some historical house touring. We’re getting into the part of the summer here that is incredibly hot—most days are 95 and above with full humidity. One of my friends is new to the city and showed…
The first time I ever went to Curve (back when dinosaurs roamed the earth) I remember a huge emphasis on sexy shapewear. Every brand seemed to be trying to transform shapewear into something fashionable and desirable, rather than some beige piece making you feel like an overstuffed sausage. While that movement appears to have gone…
