    Where is All The Pretty Shapewear? Look to Retro Brands!

    ByEstelle September 25, 2018 8:09 am

    How would you describe modern shapewear? Uncomfortable? Useful? Here’s my word: bor-ing! There, I said it. I despise modern shapewear. Not the fact that it exists. I do get why many people want to wear it. If it makes your outfit fit better or gives you a boost of confidence, good for you. I’m all…

    Where to Buy a (Proper) Corset for Under $100

    ByEstelle July 17, 2018 9:24 am

    When it comes to corsetry, made-to-measure is often touted as the way to go. And it’s true that nothing off-the-rack can fit quite so perfectly as a piece that was custom-built for your body. But what if you’re a corsetry newbie? Or shopping for a special occasion? Or maybe just on a budget? It’s natural…

    What is a Waspie Corset and How Do I Wear One?

    ByEstelle January 9, 2018 9:28 am

    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…

    What to Wear Under Your Wedding Dress

    Byelisabeth March 28, 2017 9:09 am

    The last time I had to worry about what to wear under a wedding dress, it was in 1984. Back then, it took a few weeks to find the right strapless bra in my 34DD size—one that would give me support and the right amount of oomph. Plus, it needed to be beautiful but sturdy…

    Where do you shop for Halloween costumes? Do you create your own or buy one? I’m a DIY Halloween costume kind of girl. I start with what’s in my closet and then shop thrift or party stores for accessories. Dramatic make-up, crazy masks, or cheap wigs go a long way to complete any creative ideas….

    When is the right time to launch a line of luxury lingerie? For Karolina Laskowska, it turned out to be in her early 20s. While many young women are still figuring out what to do with their lives—or simply finishing up college, as I was at that age–others are driven to fulfill their creative potential. …

    Halloween Costume Ideas Start With Great Lingerie

    Byelisabeth October 20, 2014 9:19 am

    Halloween is my favorite holiday. I love any excuse to indulge in chocolates and candy while playing dress-up. And the best part is dreaming up new Halloween costume ideas. I’m not a fan of store-bought costumes but I’m not a seamstress either. Instead I put a costume together from pieces in my own wardrobe, or find things in thrift stores….
