About Nashville Darlin’

In 2017, Darlin’ Lingerie owner Kathryn McGinnis saw a glaring need for a place to buy size-inclusive lingerie in Nashville. With no experience in lingerie, she jumped in headfirst. In 2019, she expanded into a larger brick-and-mortar store, just in time to be rocked by a tornado and, of course, Covid-19. Like most other businesses, she shut down her store and instead pivoted to online sales. Thankfully, her loyal customer base kept her in business throughout the pandemic, and once it was safe, she was able to open the Darlin’ doors once more. 

The mission of Darlin’ Lingerie is to create a space where everyone feels welcome in Nashville. Since a lot of people come to buy lingerie in order to celebrate a special occasion or major life change, McGinnis and her team make the effort to get to know each customer’s story. After all, there’s nothing more personal than shopping for lingerie…

The shop itself is located inside a train station at the end of an art gallery, with very little visibility. The artistry you get to enjoy as you find your way into Darlin’ Lingerie is part of the experience. Its quirky, hidden location is part of what gives it its signature speakeasy vibes; you kind of have to know it’s there in order to find it. 

In addition to selling lingerie, Darlin’ Lingerie also has a small Nashville stage that they use for intimate events like burlesque shows and plays. They’ve even been known to host in-store boudoir photography parties where guests can slip into something a little more comfortable and pose in front of the camera. 

We cannot get over how beautiful this set is from Darlin’!

Specialty

One of the biggest draws of Darlin’ Lingerie is the ability to reserve a private Nashville shopping appointment. Whether you’re feeling a little bashful, body-conscious, or even need to maintain your privacy, a quiet shopping experience can be just the thing to help you climb out of your shell. As always, the store remains a no-judgment zone, and your lingerie associate will help you find the exact thing you need and feel comfortable wearing. 

Additionally, if you want to make it a party, you can do that, too! Booking the store for a private lingerie party is a great excuse to gather with friends, get a little cheeky, and make plenty of memories.
