If the images above seem completely ordinary to you, then Chrysalis Lingerie has done its job.

The first collection from this new NYC label represents something of a breakthrough in alternative fashions: the perfectly-named Chrysalis is the first lingerie line designed for, and by, transgender women.

Wow thanks for the info. Me and my friend talked about the lack of lingerie like this just the other day :D.

I need to show her the link.

Someone needs to make a line of shoes for transgender women. Actually cute shoes in wide sizes. I wear a size 9 wide in womens and it is a nightmare to find cute shoes without just settling on a size ten or even 11 with masses of room in front of my toes. This isn't restricted to trans women either, duck feet are not nearly as rare as the shoemakers think.

Does anybody know what happened to this company?  I liked them on Facebook and dropped them a line... but it appears that their store never came online and they haven't answered me.  I want so much for this line to be a reality!   ::)

I personally couldn't spend $85 on a single pair of ugly panties.  I don't get it.

The design is odd but I certainly wouldn't mind a pair myself. After they're out I'll have a better idea if I want more.

Alas, I went there, but the site says they're for pre-order and will ship by May.  They were supposed to be shipping by may of *this* year, and their site is still saying pre-order for May, which makes me think it may be gone.

I agree they look a bit strange, but if they look great under clothes (built-in gaffe) I'd be willing to try a pair, and hope prices would come down over time.

searching through their facebook page, it looks like there was some backlash surrounding their attempted launch in May.  As a result they sent things back to the drawing board, and just forgot to update the information on the website.  I have emailed the admin and hope to have more information soon!

Thank you, Jaelithe.  I have done the same with no response... here's hoping that you do better, or that more emails prompts them to update. :)

We may need a multi pronged attack. I'll see if they respond better to their twitter or Facebook links.

I had heard they caught some flak for catering to "natural" body shapes/sizes, which naturally sent a bunch of transwomen raging, So they indeed went back to the drawing board.

I understand that, but it seems like a better move would have been to begin work on products for a larger range of body types, and still roll out what you have already created.  Just my 2 cents, but I'm still trying for some kind of information.
