La Figurelle: Baroque, French-Inspired Shapewear

Treacle — Fri, 17 May 2013 17:46:14 +0000

La Figurelle is a new line of shapewear out of Ireland designed by Geraldine Courtney. Frustrated by all the bland, boring, beige shapewear out there, Geraldine wanted to design a line that was pretty and feminine and romantic, but that still offered practical, comfortable shaping. La Figurelle’s current range consists of bras, waist-cinching briefs, bodysuits, [...]

Introducing The Hospital Bra

Treacle — Thu, 16 May 2013 18:48:18 +0000

Every once in awhile, I get a question from a reader who has pending breast surgery and is wondering where she can find the appropriate post-surgical undergarments. As someone with no medical expertise, I never feel comfortable giving anything resembling medical advice, but recently I ran across the Hospital Bra, and I thought it might [...]

Lingerie Lust Objects: Samantha Chang Hand Painted Silk Kimonos

Treacle — Wed, 15 May 2013 16:01:28 +0000

I’ve adored these Samantha Chang kimonos since the very first day I saw them. There’s something so opulent and indulgent about silk, and the fact that each robe is individually hand-painted makes it all the more luxurious. I firmly believe that if a label wants to charge luxury prices, then it should be a luxury [...]

Should Independent Lingerie Boutiques Support Independent Lingerie Brands?

Treacle — Wed, 15 May 2013 04:15:26 +0000

It’s not really a secret, but I buy a lot of my lingerie through the internet. Last year, I wrote an in-depth article on why I prefer to lingerie shop online, and in case you missed it, the 3 main takeaways can be summed up this way: I have a more consistent customer service experience [...]

Lingerie of the Week: Naked Sports Bra

Treacle — Tue, 14 May 2013 16:00:17 +0000

Now that I’ve gotten back into a regular exercise routine, I have a renewed interest in sports bras. I’m not really into wearing my sports bra as a shirt, but I do love having something bright and colorful beneath my workout clothes. Call it whatever you want, but exercise is just a bit more fun [...]

30 Pairs of Fashionable Spring & Summer Socks

Treacle — Tue, 14 May 2013 04:15:43 +0000

Now that Spring is here (and Summer right around the corner), it’s time to switch out those winter tights for legwear that’s just a little bit lighter. Of course, I’m talking about socks! Sheer and lace socks are a great way to perk up your Spring wardrobe, and I love wearing fun, brightly patterned, novelty [...]

Great Gatsby Lingerie: 15 Vintage-Inspired Pieces You Can Buy Today

Treacle — Mon, 13 May 2013 19:00:38 +0000

Lingerie from the 1920′s was known for its loose, easy, carefree spirit. I’d even venture to call a lot of it “sporty,” especially considering what came before and after. This post isn’t about going for vintage reproductions of twenties-style lingerie. Rather, to me these pieces invoke the emphasis on lace, effortless shilouettes, straightforward wear, and [...]

Great Gatsby Fever: 20 Pieces of Vintage 1920′s Lingerie

Treacle — Mon, 13 May 2013 04:01:21 +0000

As you’ve probably noticed, fashion mags have been obsessed with all things Great Gatsby for the last weeks. Honestly, I seriously considered not doing a 1920s-themed post at all (oversaturation and all that), but then I started looking through a few vintage lingerie archives and what I saw completely changed my mind.
