I’d be lying to myself (and all of you) if I didn’t admit that my monthly columns here at The Lingerie Addict tend to the verbose. So this Valentine’s Day, I invite you to join me in a hands-on activity: I’ve drawn a curvaceous fashion figure with key style lines for lingerie sketched in. You, dear readers, get to print this lady out and draw a Valentine’s Day outfit, or any other lingerie that comes to mind. For inspiration, I’ve also provided several lovely Gil Elvgren illustrations of ladies in dishabille.
Style lines included several levels of bra coverage, bra band, longline bra band, natural waist line, low rise waist, classic panty leg line, boyshort leg line, stomach control panel, thigh highs, single garter placement, elbow, wrist, and collar lines, and short and cap sleeves. Use the lines as marked or create new lines parallel to them to design lingerie and loungewear. Trim your lingerie with ruffles or lace, and add hats and other accessories to complete the look.
It can be your favorite outfit from years past.
It could be your outfit for this upcoming Valentine’s Day.
It could be what you are wearing right now because you are always just that fancy.
It could be the lingerie look you’ve dreamed of for your hypothetical (or real!) burlesque debut.
After all, a picture is worth a thousand words.

Post a link to your sketch in the comments, using anything from ImageShack and Photobucket to an Instagram post. I’d love to see!
Ladies and Gentleman, it is almost Valentine’s Day, and while flowers and chocolates are all well and good, I’m a huge fan of giving the gift of fine lingerie. And what could be finer than a 100% silk slip?
I am incredibly excited about this year’s Valentine’s Day Giveaway because it comes courtesy of one of the most famous underpinnings companies in the world–Farr West. Founded in 1968, Farr West is known for it’s gorgeous, high-quality, functional lingerie. I personally own several Farr West slips, and they’re among the pieces I keep in constant rotation in my lingerie wardrobe.
You have the opportunity to win a vintage, silk full slip from Farr West worth $180.00. Available in 4 colors (red, black, pink, and ivory) and 5 sizes (XS-XL) this slip features criss-cross lace detailing on the bust and front slit and adjustable straps. And international Lingerie Addicts rejoice because yes, this giveaway is open to you as well!
