As though I couldn’t love the Maria collection more, Elomi had to go and introduce the cutest freaking sheer babydoll ever. I’m sorry, Cleo Marcie, you’re very, very cute, but this one has ruffles. No contest. Note: I purchased this piece with my own money under my real name. All thoughts and opinions are my […] Read more…
When I was planning the bridal boudoir editorial featured last month on Burnett’s Boards, I knew I wanted to make sure to feature lingerie pieces that are available in a range of back sizes. After all, curvy really describes a shape, not a size. There are women who are very slim with small ribcages who […] Read more…
As I’m beginning to make my appointments to see the upcoming Spring/Summer 2015 collections at Curve next month, Holly’s recent article for The Lingerie Addict reminded me that I never shared some of my top picks for Fall/Winter 2014!

I’ve got some bras that are pushing two years old, and they are TIRED. I had a little surplus money in my […] Read more…
I know, I know, I’ve called about 74 pieces of lingerie “best of the year”; my affections are fickle and ever-changing. For 2013 I do hereby revoke the title from any previous set I may have foolishly given it to and bequeath it to this one: “Imogen” by Elomi. In terms of innovation, sophistication, and execution, […] Read more…
