An homage to Bettie Page and modern Goth as only rockabilly style can do, Baby Girl Boutique offers classic “sexy” lingerie looks for voluptuous woman ala post WWII pinup girls. Alas, it’s impossible to tell if they have any pragmatic undie offerings at all - their bra and panties link was broken, and I can [...]

Digging through the Lingerie Stores: Just My Size
≡ Category: Lingerie | ≅ Leave a Comment
Just My Size has been an old-school fallback for plussies from at least the late 80s. I still remember their hose commercials, just as well as I remember women moaning in defeat as their waistlines crept beyond that of a simple Queen size into the dreaded 1x, 2x, and 3x’s - more obscene to a [...]

Digging Through the Lingerie Stores: Wal-Mart

In the past two years, Wal-Mart has grudgingly - and repeatedly - surprised me with quality garments that survive even my rough-and-tumble impact. Gone are the days of panties that tear at first wearing. No more do seams just fall out of a new skirt. Bras have real potential to fit. Despite the continuous limitation [...]
