While the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is often seen as an hour-long commercial for America’s most famous lingerie store, the show also features work from smaller, more independent artisans. While corsets were shown prominently on the runway both this year and last year, Victoria’s Secret isn’t really known for making the kind of authentic, steel boned corsets we know and love. So when Victoria’s Secret wants to use a corset in their annual fashion show, who do they call? They call Period Corsets.

My 12 Fave Looks from the 2011 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show
In case you’ve managed to miss the media circus surrounding the world’s most famous lingerie event, the annual Victoria’s Secret Holiday Fashion show happens tonight, November 29th, at 10 pm EST on CBS. Since I live on the West Coast, I won’t be able to live tweet the show, but I did want to show you some of my fave looks in advance of tonight’s viewing.
And don’t forget to come by the blog first thing tomorrow morning for a very special, very exclusive interview with one of the people that helped make tonight’s show possible. I’m sworn to secrecy until the show actually airs, but let’s just say I’m really excited about publishing this piece and I think you’ll be really excited about it too.
Small Business Saturday: 8 Lingerie Designers from Etsy
Today is the 2nd annual Small Business Saturday, when shoppers all over the country (if not the world) make a pledge to support small and local businesses on one of the biggest commercial weekends of the year.
Here at The Lingerie Addict, we believe in supporting small and independent lingerie businesses too. So many people in the lingerie industry, from designers to boutiques to bloggers (like myself!) are small businesses that it just makes sense for us to show our support for one another.

Hanro’s Spring Surprises: New Trends from a Classic Brand
By: Laura
The Swiss brand, Hanro, has been known since 1884 for creating simple, elegant underthings using mostly natural fibers. Back in the day, it was an innovator in circular knitting technology, which could create garments with no seams.
In more recent times, it has become the go-to for super soft camis and underwear that are understated, feminine, and reliably tasteful. The quality of it’s Swiss-made lace and european-production is beautifully superior to mass market products we buy and throw away, and it remains a long-standing challenge to our modern culture of disposable fashion.
Happy Thanksgiving!
