How to Tell The Difference Between Real Silk and Polyester Satin
There’s nothing better than grabbing a freshly-delivered package, opening up the box, and pulling out a brand new silk lingerie set. On the other hand, there’s nothing worse than opening up that box and realizing you just spent $100 on polyester. And while there’s nothing wrong with synthetic satin, it’s important to know what you’re spending your money on. In the last year, I've seen an influx of drop shippers […]

Ask TLA: Should I Wash My Lingerie in Vinegar?
Today's article is by Catherine Clavering of Kiss Me Deadly, a retro femme lingerie brand known for its sarcasm, wit, feminism...and damn good style. I think "5 minute crafts" is ruining people's lingerie. Bear with me. I've seen unleashed a slew of “life hacks" online that are often total nonsense and subsequently have people in my inbox with statements like, “I washed my knickers in lemon juice, and it wrecked […]

How Agent Provocateur's "All Hours" Collection Missed The Mark
Agent Provocateur’s iconic line of super sexy lingerie is known for running small. With bras stopping at UK 36E and knickers only going up to a US size 10, their core-only sizing felt stuck in the 90s. However, on February 15, 2021, Agent Provocateur tweeted that they were expanding sizes. “As a new category coming soon to AP, ‘All Hours’ boasts a wider range of sizes from 32A to 38G,” […]

61 Pieces: The Anatomy Of An Underwire Bra
As a lingerie designer and maker, one of my greatest pet peeves is hearing bras dismissed as "just two small pieces of fabric." It totally disregards the complexities and skills required to create these garments, as well as just being factually incorrect! I’ve been running my lingerie brand for nearly a decade now, and still individually hand make my bra designs. It can easily take a few hours to create […]

Packing 101: Everything You Need to Know to Get Started
Charles Wallace is a PhD student studying insect systematics, as well as a writer, podcaster (@ASABpod), macro photographer, and amateur aerialist. He lives in the metro Phoenix area with his two cats. For a long time, I didn’t bother packing. Most men’s pants aren’t especially tight in the crotch, and I didn’t find it a crucial aspect of my own gender expression. But then I got into the aerial arts, […]

The Roaring...60s? Kilo Brava Spring/Summer 2021
Beyond a shadow of a doubt, Kilo Brava was my fave discovery of 2020. It all started with the infamous Tiger slip (also beloved by other lingerie bloggers as well Lingerie Addicts in the official Facebook group), and grew, unchecked, from there. You can probably call me a Kilo Brava Superfan. I want all of it. As someone who quite literally looks at lingerie for a living, very few brands […]

Luxury Lingerie Review: Agent Provocateur Milena Bra in 34F
Disclosure: The Lingerie Addict purchased this lingerie set for me to review. All opinions are my own. Agent Provocateur might be the most famous British lingerie brand. Founded in the 90s by Vivienne Westwood's son and his wife at the time, this iconic brand was once a lingerie addict’s first foray into luxury - even if only through their boutique windows. Agent Provocateur was one of the first brands to […]
