Diva Dish - January 2013

We can't believe it's already time for our first Diva Dish of the year! Doesn't it seem like we were just celebrating New Year's Eve? For those of you who might have fallen off the wagon with your resolutions, here's one that's easy to pick up any time.

Along with resolving to wear pretty underthings, The Lingerie Addict wants you to love the body that wears that lingerie.

The Lingerie Stylist has a great piece on how to learn to fit yourself for a bra, if you live in an area where professional bra fitters are scarce.

New to wearing corsets and wondering how to care for them? Read this piece from Etsy Lingerie on how to wash corsets.

And finally, the Lingerie Journal has a way for you to take those mismatched (but still pretty) bras and panties and make them look like sexy lingerie sets!

7 Tough Yet Sexy Lingerie Pieces From Dreamgirl

One of the reasons we love Dreamgirl is because it’s a brand that caters to every type of woman. No matter what her personality, they have lingerie that fits; from flirty and girly to sophisticated and sultry.

A mixture of dominatrix and biker babe, the new pieces featured in this post have a decidedly tough feel to them. Tough, yet still feminine. We can’t imagine a woman wearing one of these sets and not feeling strong, powerful and confident. Which, to us, equals one pretty sexy woman, don’t you agree?

Tri Strap Chemise Set

Ringed Fishnet Chemise

Lingerie Lookalikes - Agent Provocateur's Playsuits

As we were browsing Agent Provocateur's website recently, we couldn't help but notice, once again, that a couple of their lingerie sets looked very familiar to some of ours. So if you like the look of this luxurious French brand, but don't want to pay the luxurious French price, here are a few pieces to consider...

You could purchase the Agent Provocateur Christabelle Playsuit for $590.

Or get our Elle Peek-A-Boo Teddy for just $28.45!

 This Birthday Suit Playsuit IS gorgeous, but pricy at $290.

But you could both the Red Sultry and Criss Cross teddies for a total of $57.78!

So the next time you feel the urge to indulge and splurge on a fancy lingerie set, remind yourself that you can get the same looks for a much better price at LingerieDiva.com!
