Retro lingerie? I love feeling sexy (and also 40's-50's style clothes that fit my hourglass figure) even if no one ever sees my underwear but me.
However, it's hard being sexy with little girl underwear and a bra that doesn't fit properly.
Anyone know where to get retro, 1940's/1950's style lingerie? Please, not the super sexy sheer kind (I have a large bust that needs an underwire) but the more everyday kind with a hint of retro glamour.
Also, try to find places that are also avaliable offline...please?
Thanks a lot! |
| try a corset? |
Where can I find custom made retro style lingerie? With Cameo Intimates closing it's door, I'm looking for a company that does custom sized retro lingerie. Anyone have any suggestions? |
| Etsy.com! (: |
Ladies, do any of you love wearing vintage or retro-style lingerie? I wear vintage clothes on a daily basis and just love bullet bras, girdles, seamed stockings and slips. Why did they ever go out of style? |
| My husband and me prefer for 50's style. He's had me assemble a pretty good wardrobe of fifties clothes and lingerie. When he is in the mood, I'll put on the open bottomed girdle, the stockings and bra, topping it off with a full slip or camisole and half slip. Then a dress, he likes the a line kind or the pencil skirt and blouse. Hair, makeup and accessories are all important and pair of four inch spike heels to complete the ensomble. So there I am, when hubby gets home, the perfect fifties wife, his to unwrap and enjoy all the goodies underneith. |
How do guys feel about the Retro 50s Figure:Marilyn Monroe? Now i wish I had a body like this. The 1950s pin up
girl figure. It seems like women where curvier ( not fat )
they had more of an hourglass shape. Thing is I don't
really know if guys dig that look? Marilyn Monroe
was the hottest sex bomb of all time everyone knows
who she is. But guess what ? She was like a size 12!
( i think ).
Anyways all thoughts welcome.
I also got a thing for retro lingerie.

hot hot hot
i think 40s-50s pin up girls
are the hottest thing
if it was still like that today
bigger girls would be more accepted
im not saying they arent
but guys usually want that skinny beach babe thing
grrr |
Where can I get 1950s style seamed stockings and lace up corsets? I love old style retro lingerie, traditional corsets and suspender sets with fully fashioned seamed stockings. |
| Another vintage/retro fan here. I'll list some links: |
Pin-up glamour is coming back with fifties style lingerie? How many woman out there are wearing vintage retro stockings held up with garterbelts? and why?
and how many women will wear stockings with reinforced heels and toes in them as that is a new pin-up fashion trend?
your age? My wife loves the look and I'm trying to get used to it. |
| I like the pin-up style and so does my husband. I'm 23. I think it looks nice as long as it's a few 50's pieces with a modernized twist. (think Christina Aguilera's latest look and tame it down a few notches) I think the 50's look is a hit among women because it flatters a lot more body shapes and has more of a classic feminine appeal to it. So my advise let her is to have fun with it, but don't go from top to bottom all 50's. |
What lingerie would my boyfriend would like? It's valentines, blah blah blah. I need some more lingerie anyway so might as well go that route for my boyfriend (I didn't want to celebrate as low on money but he's already planned dinner).
I'm normally go for retro style underwear, I like my bright reds, patterns and lace. He's made a few past comments along the lines of 'why don't you own any sexy underwear?' I've asked what he'd consider 'sexy' but he's refused to give me answers. (I'd consider most of my underwear sexy so don't know what he means!). I wear stockings regularly and he's previously criticized me saying he thought they were 'too slutty'.
Really unsure what to go for! Can't stand mesh type materials but otherwise I'd just love to find something that both of us would like! Any opinions on what to go for welcome as I have no idea what sort of thing he'd like.
What style, colour/s (would I best opt for one colour?), material would be your choice?
Thanks n advance for any helpful comments. |
| Hmm ... sounds like he's not a good communicator since you already asked him, and he hasn't given an answer. You could ask him again. However, I would say wear what makes you feel sexy. When you feel sexy, you will act sexy which should turn him on. However, ultimately, it's not what you wear that matters. It's what you do once you are out of them that matters. My opinion is, during dinner, you should whisper some specific things in his ear that you are going to do to him after you get home. On the ride home, tell him again. Hope you two have a very romantic evening. |
Where is the best place in New York City (Manhattan) to shop? I want shops that you can't get in London and would prefer them to be close together.
Also any retro shops, the best place for vintage and anything unusual. And anywhere for lingerie apart from Victoria's Secret & Agent Provoceteur.
Thanks! |
Buffalo Exchange is a great little vintage store in the city. Here is their address:
332 East 11th Street |
Is there something comparable to like a pinupgirlclothing.com? I need vintage/retro 1940s femme fatale clothing and would rather not spend so much on the outfit... shoes, a hat with veil, dress. Gloves too but I can prob just get those anywhere. Oh, and cuban heel stockings. Heck, if you have a good place for 1940s lingerie that would be awesome too! |

This site has a lot of cuban heel stockings:

Fashion photography.? I am a professional photographer based in Birmingham, Uk and am trying to increase my involvement in the world of fashion photography. I have experience of pin up/retro fashion, lingerie and fetish fashion. If there are any designers etc. who are in need of any photography I would like to discuss ideas and projects with them. This isn't an offer of a free service but rates would be much cheaper than with established photographers. Anyone interested please contact me via my website at www.michaelbirchmore.co.uk. or through here. |
