Custom Lingerie Review: Buttress & Snatch Rosa Bud Silk Bra Set
To my memory, Buttress & Snatch was one of the first lingerie brands crafting fantastical, fairy tale-inspired luxury lingerie. I remember swooning over their Queen of the Clover on Tumblr, imagining a world where swathes of silk and tiny flowers blossomed out of every piece of lingerie I owned. Today, the brand continues to make some of the most romantic sets out there. Airy arm swags, vintage millinery flowers, scattered […]

It’s strange to think that despite writing dozens of lingerie reviews for The Lingerie Addict in over a decade, I somehow completely managed to neglect writing about Pillowbook Lingerie, one of my all time favourite lingerie brands. This label is an encapsulation of everything that I love about lingerie: beautiful designs that are an absolute joy to wear, and a celebration of true couture craft. Pillowbook Lingerie was founded in […]

The Bridgerton Effect: Regency-Inspired Short Stays for Modern Corset Lovers
There's no other way to say it...I'm obsessed with Netflix's Bridgerton, Season 2. As my husband recently contracted COVID, I've already watched the series twice. (You can find my first Twitter thread here and my second here). Now that my own COVID test has come back positive, I'm anticipating a third rewatch will commence in the next day or two. It's just the perfect quarantine show! However, this article isn't […]

10 Ukrainian Lingerie Brands to Know and Support
If you're reading this, you have the internet. And if you have the internet, you know what's going on in Ukraine. I won't profess to be any great scholar of global politics, diplomacy, and Eastern European history. But what I do know is that Ukrainians are experiencing unspeakable tragedy and fear right this moment.

Lingerie Design Challenges: Ready-To-Wear vs. Bespoke
Before getting into the nitty gritty of what the differences are between designing for ‘ready-to-wear’ and ‘bespoke’ lingerie, it’s important to first nail down what these phrases actually mean. In a world dominated by fast fashion and half-truth marketing, a lot of the technical terminology around clothing has had its meaning diluted and distorted. This is particularly true of the language around luxury fashion, which is often co-opted by fast […]

'And They Lived Happily Ever After': Dreamy Fairy Tale Inspired Lingerie
Fairy tales were my favorite stories to read as a kid. They may have originally been written to teach children lessons about right and wrong, but I was in love with the flowery language, the old illustrations, and the spirit of the headstrong, romantic heroines. Wildflower meadows, forbidden forests, enchanted grottos, unicorns and mermaids, witches and kings...for as long as I can remember, I've escaped into those fantasy worlds, dreaming […]
