Bespoke Lingerie is the Staple of 2018

Lingerie and I go way back. The first time I tried the decadent lace was at the age of two. Digging through my mom’s burlesque costumes from the 80’s sparked my love of fashion.  She kept some of her favorites from her dance wardrobe, and those pieces became my dress-up go-tos.

Now at the age of 20, I am collaborating with a bespoke lingerie brand that is rooted in lingerie’s history, the current zeitgeist, and women’s confidence. I introduce Madalyn Joy Designs.
