Here comes another post about fitting the bottom half of the hourglass. I’ve written about Freddie’s of Pinewood jeans and tops here on Hourglassy several times before, and this week I’ll be reviewing their Buckleback Shorts. I actually planned on writing this review last summer, but the Bucklebacks were nearly sold out and the Freddie’s […]

Maybe it’s because we were all quarantined for the entirety of spring, but it feels like summer in NYC came out of nowhere. One day, it was suddenly 85 degrees and humid!

I’ve reviewed the vintage-style jeans from Freddie’s of Pinewood several times before, as well as their bust-friendly “Work Blouse.” But they also carry really cute stretch jersey tees and tops, which I’m finally reviewing today.

I wanted the 1940s Button Pants, but my size was sold out, so I emailed Freddie’s to ask if they’d be restocking any time […]

Technically this post is still related to Curve even though it’s now 5 weeks past. Kix’ies, the hosiery brand beloved by the pinup community, was there for the first time, and I got to chat with a rep. She also gave me a sample pair of tights to try! Kix’ies are thigh-high tights with a […]

Now that I’ve pretty much found the perfect bras for me (hello, Ewa Michalak and Comexim!), my bra shopping has slowed way down. But I’m still on the hunt for some perfectly fitting panties. With my small waist and comparatively big hips (29” waist and 41” hips), I have just as much trouble with my […]
