Today’s the start of a brand new event here on The Lingerie Addict–Wedding Week! Summertime is a big time for brides, and I want to make sure all my nuptial-bound and newlywed readers are covered with the very best in bridal lingerie information. Today’s feature is about how to buy bridal lingerie.
Figleaves, one of the biggest and best retailers of European lingerie on the internet, is clearing away their old collections to make room for the new. I love this time of year because it means you can purchase high-end, designer lingerie for literally a fraction of the cost. I’ve put a few of my more luxurious favorites below, but I’d love for you to take a peek at the Figleaves sale page and tell me what you’re lusting after.
Every Photo Friday is super exciting to me, but this one is really special. For the first time ever, I’m featuring the work of one of my readers, fellow lingerie addict and fashion blogger, Ligeia Noir.
I can’t recall when Ligeia and I first crossed paths, but I’m pretty sure our mutual love of lingerie had something to do with it. Her excitement for art and fashion is nearly tangible, and it’s a great honor for me to show her work here.
Short version:
Q: Should you buy this bra set?
A: Yes, yes you should.
Long version:
I haven’t felt this strongly about lingerie since the MySkins nude bra and panty set I reviewed a few weeks back. The Betsey Johnson Zipper Stripe Bra and Panty from Freshpair achieved the elusive lingerie holy grail of being both extremely sexy (The Boyfriend approved) and extraordinarily comfortable (I forgot I was wearing it after about 15 minutes).

Hi Treacle,
I’m looking for a particular style of panty to wear with a corset. I’m attaching a photo of something similar but this is a little too “costumey” and likely can’t be worn under everyday wear. (Also, this particular panty is handmade and although gorgeous … is around $150). I’d love something full and gathered but not quite this full.
I recently had the pleasure of meeting pin-up graphic artist, Amano Jyaku, at Emerald City Comic Con, and he was an absolute peach. Jyaku’s art manages to be beautiful, fun, and funny all at the same time.
If you want to see more of Amano’s work, check out his blog (where the most recent post is all about redheads!) or his gallery. You can also follow Amano Jyaku on Twitter. And tell him Treacle sent you. 
Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads reading my blog! I’m a Daddy’s girl at heart, and I know that I could never have become the woman I am today without my pop’s kindness, love, and support. He even reads the blog!
A few days ago, I posed a question to one of the many listservs I’m a member of. In it, I asked for men to tell me what they thought about lingerie. Did they love it, hate it, or did they feel indifferent? Were certain kinds of lingerie better than other kinds? Did they have any suggestions for how women should wear their lingerie?
A few months ago, during a sightseeing trip to Portland, I ran across several stunning photographs of corsetted women in flowers and skull makeup at a vintage clothing shop. I could never remember who shot the images, but I do remember being absolutely captivated by them.
So imagine my delight when I rediscovered the artist behind those photographs at YUHMM Magazine (warning: NSFW). 666 Photography captures the retro, pin-up, and burlesque aesthetic that I’m so fond of, but manages to put her own unique stamp on it. What do you think of the sample from her portfolio below?
