One of the issues that has really snapped my garter in the past is how so many lingerie retailers repackage (and rename!) stockings from major hosiery manufacturers like Cervin. Catherine, owner and designer of the much-loved lingerie label Kiss Me Deadly, recently sent me a very explanatory letter on exactly why so many companies do this.

I’m in the midst of job hunt hell so it’s going to be another day or two before I post my second review, but in the meantime I’d like to draw your attention to a post I did roughly six months ago–“a necessary accessory.” In that post, I encouraged everyone to buy some hosiery gloves.

It’s the most perfect piece of lingerie I’ve ever seen. Ever. I’m a big fan of corselettes, which are basically another name for girdle dresses. They’re so femme and so fun. They cover and lift […]
