Lingerie of the Week: Morgan Lane Organic Cotton "Maebelle" Tank

There's a lengthy list of historical lingerie techniques I adore: corset flossing, crystal pleating, lace appliqué...and insertion lace. A once-popular design detail from the first half of the 20th century, insertion lace has gradually faded out of favor, primarily due to manufacturing costs. While indie brands like Evgenia Lingerie have long been known for their use of this technique, I'm glad to another name to that very short list. The […]

20 Pairs of Pajamas That Can Double As Outerwear

It's been so long since I've worn "regular" clothes, I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to go back to the way things were before. In fact, as I'm writing this, I'm wearing an old sweatshirt from Oxford University (acquired during the Oxford Conference of Corsetry a few years back), and a pair of fleece-lined sweatpants. However, work meetings are picking up again as offices and businesses gradually return […]

Luxury Lingerie Review: La Perla Layla Bra in 34F

When I was young, Italian lingerie brand La Perla represented the ultimate in luxury lingerie. I remember seeing Blair Waldorf’s elegant silk La Perla pieces in early Gossip Girl episodes and thinking, “Yes, of course, that’s exactly what a glamorous, rich, high school student in NYC would wear!” Is that true? I mean, probably not. But the brand represented a type of old-moneyed ultimate luxury for a long time. Today, […]

Luxury Loungewear Review: Sleeper's Feather Party Pajamas

Disclosure: The Lingerie Addict purchased this item for the purposes of review. All opinions are my own. Here at The Lingerie Addict, we love a pair of fancy pajamas. Silk satin? Embroidered embellishments? A cheeky print? Yes, please! But feathers? Are feathers an appropriate pajama accoutrement? Just kidding. Of course they are! And when I first saw Sleeper’s feather-encrusted “Party Pajamas” in an Instagram ad, I was stoked. These were […]

Are Sheertex Tights Worth It? Reviewing The Famous "Unbreakable" Sheer Pantyhose

I’ll be honest. I hate buying tights and stockings. Not because I don’t like them! But because a new stocking purchase means I’ve snagged or damaged a previous pair and tossed it into the trash, destined to slowly decompose (or not) in some NYC landfill. Replacing lingerie sucks. Why can’t clothing last forever? Well…maybe it can, according to Sheertex. This hosiery startup claims to make “unbreakable” tights. But as with […]
