It's My 2-Year Book Anniversary! (Plus Get Free Shipping on Signed Book Orders from My Shop!)

With everything that's happening in the world right now, I […]

12 Summer Loungewear Outfits for Staying Cool (And Cute, Too)

If you're anything like me, you're spending your summer wearing... well, not much of anything. It's hot! We're stuck inside! Many of us are working from home! Why put on more than a pair of cotton underwear and a bralette? OK, so I do feel happier when I'm fully dressed, even when I'm at home alone and it's hot as heck out. But instead of putting on street clothes, I'm […]

Is this Viral Bodysuit Worth It? Reviewing Thistle and Spire's Medusa Bodysuit

Brooklyn-based lingerie line Thistle and Spire was founded in 2015. I remember adoring their thistle-embroidered bralette the first time I saw them at Curve. The embellishment was obviously branded, but beautiful enough to stand alone. Impressive for a new line. The indie label quickly became an easily-recognized name among younger lingerie wearers, thanks to their well-priced dynamic designs, carefully-engineered embroideries, and lots of social media marketing. If you’re a Millennial […]

Review: Silk Loungewear for Small Plus Size Bodies

Disclaimer: These items were purchased by The Lingerie Addict for review. All opinions are my own. During the more temperate months, I live in silk nightgowns. They’re just the right amount of breezy and breathable, and you can’t beat a floaty silk gown for work-from-home drama. However, silk loungewear and lingerie in plus sizes is hard to find, either at budget or luxury prices. In the past I’ve ordered from […]

A Full Bust Bra for Only $7.50? Reviewing Fruit of the Loom's T-Shirt Bra

Fruit of the Loom is a US-based budget underwear line. You're probably most familiar with their multi-pack cotton underwear or maybe their men's shirts, available at stores like Walmart and Kohl's. But did you know they make bras, too? Okay, maybe you knew this already. I didn’t. I usually wear a size UK 32FF/European 32H/US 32DDDDD in cut-and-sew bras, or a UK 32F/European 32G/US 32DDDD in contour foam cup bras. […]

Summer Loungewear Shopping: The Fabrics That Will Keep You Cool

Hi, my name is Quinne, and I love loungewear. Like, I really love it. I run a loungewear line. I wear loungewear even when I'm leaving the house. And I spend most of my clothing budget (and sewing budget) on loungewear. When I get up in the morning and sit down in my home office, I switch from my comfy night loungewear to my fancy day loungewear. I'm always trying […]

Plus Size Hosiery Review: Snag Tights

Disclaimer: All items were purchased by The Lingerie Addict for review. All opinions are my own. Snag Tights hit the scene with a riot of color and a promise to solve the hosiery fit problems faced by plus sized folks. As someone who wears tights three seasons of the year, I knew those problems all too well: tights stretched thin over my thighs, cutting into the crease of my hip; tights […]

Lingerie of the Week: Oyemwen Candy Rainbow Tulle Robe

We need some happiness, and since this robe made me smile, I hope it does the same for you. I'm pretty sure I learned about this brand through either Twitter or the Lingerie Addicts Facebook Group, but they were an immediate fave. Honestly, I haven't been able to get Oyemwen out of my mind since. It's pure joy. Oyemwen seems to specialize in tulle, which is absolutely my jam. Layers […]
