Coveted for their figure forming magic, corsets are versatile, flattering and relatively inexpensive. Perfect for a romantic evening with that significant other or paired with a pair of form fitting jeans for a night on the town, a gals corset is a staple not only in her lingerie drawer but her wardrobe as well.

The company fueled their growth by capturing the costume market. Leg Avenue costumes consists of hundreds of shrink wrap costumes every year. They also retain their focus on hosiery with over 300 different SKUs in their distribution channel. Recently, they’ve added shoes and a swimwear line called Skinny Dip.

The line is divided into a Day Collection of flirty styles and a Night Collection which offers more sophisticated pieces. Leg Avenue has an enormous distribution network with hundreds if not thousands of independent businesses that resell the product. Many of those companies sell their product through Amazon’s marketplace. Pricing ranges from $15-60 US.

In honor of the bride-to-be (now the new Mrs. Jones), we just had to make a special trip to the Hard Rock Hotel to see the Love Jones lingerie store.

Love Jones is a perfect fit inside the Hard Rock with its rocker chic atmosphere. The walls are painted a bright orange with hot pink clubs, spades, diamonds, and hearts adorning them. As you look above, sexy crossed legs peek from ceiling wearing fun (and sometimes racy) tights in spider, floral, or fishnet prints. Exciting and enticing, Love Jones enthralled us all!

I’m sure you are curious to the offerings and the purchases at Love Jones. Please understand that I am under Bachelorette Party Oath to protect the names of the innocent (and not-so-innocent). All names provided are aliases!

Honeydew Mesh Boy Shorts at Love JonesHoney is a wife and mother of 1. While she loves motherhood, it has stifled the flavor in her lingerie drawer a bit, so she was looking for a little something to spice it up! Still wanting to be practical, we instantly decided that Honeydew was the perfect choice. With a feminine cut and a flirty, lacy edge, Honey knew she would be able to balance her need for comfort with her desire for sexiness. She chose the solid black and white mesh boyshort as well as and the leopard Rumba Panty with ruffles. The verdict – Honey tested, husband approved. She confirmed that they were comfortable, yet sexy.

Vixen is a busy college student. She was looking for something fun and comfortable to fit in with her hectic life. I introduced her to both Hanky Panky and Honeydew. She was very excited about finding the Honeydew Mesh Boyshorts in her favorite leopard pattern. She chose the ones with red lace!

Hennessy, a not-so-newlywed, who is always willing to try something new, was the daring lady who purchased red fishnets and Silver Sequin bloomers by Leg Avenue.Leg Avenue Sequin Bloomers and Mary Green This lovely lady is not just sassy, but also very sweet. For her sweet side, she purchased Honeydew Mesh Boyshorts in Leopard, like Vixen, and a beautiful, silky “Kiss Me” eye mask by Mary Green.

Peaches, the bride-to-be, chose the signature Love Jones thong to go with the theme of the outing. She also chose the above mentioned Silver Sequin bloomers by Leg Avenue. What goes with those? None other than Nippies by Bristols6, previously mentioned on TLP. The verdict – still out. She is still honeymooning!

Since I didn’t win big at the slots, I satisfied my lingerie fix by helping others choose new special somethings. There’s always the next time with the next bride-to-be!

*All of the above listed items are available at the Love Jones lingerie shop at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas and at local department stores and boutiques near you. Special thanks to Elizabeth at Love Jones for all her help and to the lovely ladies who so eagerly took my suggestions!

It’s getting colder here in the US as winter is creeping up, and it’s time to start covering our legs before they freeze right off! Retro-inspired seamed stockings are as classic and glamorous as they come, but the new trend of having a bright or contrasting color seam adds an extra detail Jonathon Astonthat I find irresistible. It flashes ever-so-subtly as your cross your legs, and everyone will want to watch you walk away!

My fixation started with these nude and red Jonathan Aston stockings. I got a pair a few months ago, and have been desperately waiting for the fall to come so I can find an occasion to wear them out!

Here are some more from Leg Avenue and Pamela Mann:

Leg Avenue backseam fishnets Leg Avenue black backseam Leg Avenue contrast backseams Pamela Man Jive stockings

These stark backseams also have the great bonus of making your legs appear longer and leaner – so show them off! It is, however, a bit difficult to find a wide variety of colors. My dream would be to have a stocking wardrobe full of pairs similar to the Jonathan Aston ones, but in several different colors like purple or blue! If I ever find them, of course The Lingerie Post readers will be the first to know. And if you find some, please let us know in the forums!

The motto of YumDrop is “naughty when you wanna be” and the site lives up to the slogan!

The wide variety of styles is refreshing; while some could be candidates for our “Trashy, Slutty…. Yet interesting!” forum topic, there are just as many pieces that are classy and YumDrop Bridal Babydollpretty – so you can be naughty when you wanna be and nice when you wanna be! You will have no trouble finding charmuese and lace bridal babydolls, shirred bustiers, lace-up open-cup chemises, camigarters with cherry prints, leopard print babydolls, leather bustiers, and fishnets that make it look like you have ankle tattoos – all on one site! You can also find swimsuits and shoes on YumDrop – and I was delighted to find that the shoe section has the same wide variety as the main focus of the site (lingerie!). There are naughty nurse platform boots and marabou sandals, but there are also sexy Mary Jane pumps and rhinestone sandals perfect for a night out. YumDrop’s real strength is offering such aYumDrop Marabou Sandals wide variety of pretty, sexy things, with sometimes daring designs, at very palatable prices.

While the pieces available on YumDrop.com are affordable, they still rival far more expensive brands as far as design and style goes – and the site offers these unique items in a way that is completely comprehensible, easy to navigate, and refreshingly thorough. There are multiple views available for most products, so you can see how a product looks from different angles or in different colors (on the product page, just hold your mouse over the view you want to see), as well as prominently displayed sizing charts to help you navigate incongruent sizing between brands and styles. This is especiallyYumDrop size chart helpful because many of the pieces available are decidedly for wearing at home, and don’t use standard sizing simply because support isn’t much of an issue with something you won’t wear every day. But YumDrop translates the manufacturers’ “small/medium/large” categories into band and cup sizes so you can be confident in ordering the correct size.

YumDrop Star Studded PantiesI recently received my package from YumDrop, and was even more pleased than I thought I would be. I ordered the Star Studded Panty, a pair of boyshorts with lace-up sides and “Sexy” silk-screened on the back. I couldn’t be happier with these – I’m a sucker for corset-style lacing, and my new panties are every bit as comfortable as my everyday boyshorts. They are, however, far more “rock-n-roll” than my everyday boyshorts!

I also got the Ruffled Rhumba Hot Pants. These are cute, but I’m torn about them.YumDrop Ruffle Rhumba Hot Pants They aren’t really my style or much like anything else I own, but I’m trying to broaden my tastes and they are very flirty for lounging around at home. They seem a great accessory to a simple cami or short chemise.

My favorite, however, is the Pink Mesh and Lace Cami set. I am a larger cup size, so usually I shy away from YumDrop Pink Mesh and Lace Cami Setanything with underbust seams because they never hit me correctly. I had to take a shot with this set, however, because it looked so good – and I’m glad I did! I was pleasantly surprised to see that the straps are adjustable, so even ladies with larger cups can adjust the top to fit them well. And I absolutely love the design.

When you visit YumDrop, be sure to check out their costumes. Halloween will be here before you know it!
