I am truly overcome at all the supportive comments, messages, and emails I've received since making the incredibly difficult decision to sunset The Lingerie Addict in its current form as primarily a lingerie blog. There's always this sense of "talking into the void" when one is doing work online. You're never really quite sure if people are seeing what you're doing. Just knowing how so many of you saw The […] The post This Is Not The End: Where to Find The Lingerie Addict in the Future appeared first on The Lingerie Addict - Everything To Know About Lingerie ..read more

It is not hyperbole to say The Lingerie Addict changed my life. My first encounter with the website was accidental. As a teenager who practically lived on Tumblr, I stumbled across a series of stunning photographs that linked to an article about studying lingerie design. That moment of discovery was like falling down a rabbit hole. Lingerie was not this distant, inaccessible thing I could just stare at longingly from […] The post What The Lingerie Addict Means To Me appeared first on The Lingerie Addict - Everything To Know About Lingerie ..read more

Eight years ago, I worked as a waitress at a soda fountain to support my indie loungewear line, she and reverie. All of our products were manufactured in NYC’s garment district, and ethical manufacturing was (and still is) so important to me. So when Cora put out a call for columnists at The Lingerie Addict, I applied. I had never written professionally before, but it always came easily to me.

One of my favorite visual corsetry effects is fan-lacing. While it looks beautiful, with its perfect symmetry and matched columns of wraparound, criss-crossed lacing, it also has a very practical purpose. As fancy and complicated as it appears, fan lacing during its heyday was revolutionary for simplifying the process of getting dressed! A Very Short Explanation of Fan Lacing Many people are familiar with the basics of a corset, and […] The post Fan Lacing: A Love Letter appeared first on The Lingerie Addict - Everything To Know About Lingerie ..read more

I’ve spent a lot of time over the past 15 years in front of cameras aiming to look sexy and expensive. I’ve got both adoration for and justification of purchasing luxury lingerie.

Jessica Stoya is a semi-retired adult performer and writer. Bylines include the New York Times, VICE, The Guardian, and Stoya is half of Slate's How To Do It sex advice column. I’m a difficult fit when it comes to structured lingerie. I’ve got a wide rib cage, with muscle over top, and wide set breasts with wide bases but shallow projection. I’m a 36A, or even 36AA.

When I wrote the first guide to Iconic Lingerie Around the World, I knew it would be impossible to include every country's iconic lingerie aesthetics. So we're back with a part two! Globalization has homogenized so much of the fashion industry, and we are so interconnected today. But it's so cool to explore the differences still in existence between countries' iconic styles! We're still limited to what can fit in a […] The post From Romania to Canada: Lingerie from Around the World, Part 2 appeared first on The Lingerie Addict - Everything To Know About Lingerie ..read more

Though I've just announced TLA's closure, I'm not gone yet. Nor does it mean we can't celebrate!

This is the hardest article I've ever had to write. So much so that I've put it off for as long as I can, even though I know, in my heart, it's the right decision. The Lingerie Addict celebrates its 14th anniversary this month. At the end of April, I'm closing the site for good and saying goodbye to TLA. It feels so final to say this. I've known it […] The post Saying Goodbye to The Lingerie Addict appeared first on The Lingerie Addict - Everything To Know About Lingerie ..read more

I saw a minimizer bra for the first time in junior high. I was trying on bras at my local department store, and almost every bra in my size was labeled as a minimizer. When I asked my mom about it, she said “It just means your nipples don’t show through." But that didn’t really make sense to me. Don’t B cups have nipples, too? I later learned that minimizer […] The post Minimizer Bra Review: Vanity Fair Beauty Back Full Figure Underwire Minimizer appeared first on The Lingerie Addict - Everything To Know About Lingerie ..read more
