Full Bust Bralette Review: Lively Palm Lace Busty Bralette
Disclosure: The Lingerie Addict editorial team purchased this item for the purposes of this review. All opinions are my own. DTC lingerie brand Lively came onto the market in 2016 with athleisure-inspired basics, quickly gaining notoriety for their no-frills bra and panty sets advertised on social media. Today, they still embrace the same pared-down Millennial-friendly aesthetic, but they're no longer a start-up. Wacoal purchased the brand for $85 million in […]

10 Nightgowns for Escaping the Manor in Your Very Own Gothic Romance Novel
Happy All Hallows Eve! Though I don't talk about it very much, I love pulp fiction novel covers. Because there's something so - not tawdry, per se - but campy about them. Lurid even. Gothic pulp covers in particular are overdramatic and macabre. They are voyeuristic in a way that should be horrifying, yet sucks you in nonetheless. There's a formula to these gothic romance covers. You can expect a […]

How to Wear Lingerie as Outerwear: Style Inspiration for Every Season
Disclosure: This article is sponsored by Jane's Vanity Not that I'll surprise any of my regular readers, but I firmly believe lingerie as outerwear is more than a trend - it's a state of mind. After all, lingerie is just clothing. Clothing that's usually worn at home or that might be worn under other types of apparel...but clothing all the same. Just as you can take outerwear and make it […]

Disclosure: These items were purchased for me by The Lingerie Addict to review. All opinions are my own. Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) lingerie startups abound these days. But are any of them actually disrupting the underwear industry? Today, I’m reviewing three brands claiming to do things differently: Seamless underwear by EBY, super soft modal knickers from MeUndies, and colorful briefs made from recycled fibers by Parade.
