Are pictures that important in reviews?

I believe they are because it gives a more detailed and visual description of the product.

To me, pictures are not that important in reviews. I have found that some reviews have needless pictures whereas others take pictures of important attributes. It really depends on the product. Myself, I do not take pictures of my products for privacy reasons however I have been asked to take pictures of lingerie while wearing it, which is really a choice by the reviewer. Go with what you are comfortable with.

I prefer a review with pictures, but I'm also looking for useful information to go with the pictures.

I disagree. Lingerie fits different parts of the body in different ways, and the fabric can flow, drape, cling, lift, mold, shape, smooth...etc. If a person with good descriptive skills writes a lingerie review, s/he doesn't necessarily need photos to create an accurate mental image.

Pictures are the same way. A picture from every side of the box ... more
Beautifully put, Woman! Love the ice cream topping comparison...now I want some ice cream!
