I Prefer What These Pink Sweethearts Have To Say

Those conversational candy Sweethearts are nice, but why settle for what they have to say when you can listen to the whispers of these vintage pink nightgowns? Far more romantic, I say. And just enough "tart" to keep things interesting!

This vintage lilac pink peignoir set, Designed by Lady Leonora, features rows of sugar-white lace ruffles on the bodice. It says, "Come hither & nibble!"

This little number leaves little to the imagination -- it's like you've been sugar-coated in the sweetest frosting glaze. But that doesn't mean it skimps on the details! Ultra sheer pink chiffon nylon -- pleated, even! -- and trimmed in lace. It says, "Be mine!"

This vintage Godfried Original negligee and peignoir set says "I'll love you Forever".

This vintage Seamprufe nylon peignoir set in the palest of pinks says, "I'd do it all over again!" with a sheer lace midriff and pink rosebud embroidery.

Who Says Lace Is Demure Or Old Fashioned?

Lingerie Sandwich, Cookie

Chocolate lace sandwiched between layers of butter-yellow chiffon make this vintage Lady Lenora nightgown super yummy. Extra drizzles of chocolate lace at the hem too.

A Sweetheart For Your Sweetheart

Getting in the mood for Valentine's Day? What could be sweeter than a vintage light pink nylon tricot nightie with a lace bodice andh sheer nylon chiffon trim? Well, Rogers thought that wasn't enough, so this lovely vintage nightgown also has a sweetheart neckline above with formed darted cups, a nipped waist, and a scalloped hemline.

This Week's OMG Vintage Lingerie: Black Harem Edition

I don't know what else to call this sexy three-piece vintage lingerie set other than to call it a harem set -- because that's the first thing that flew into my mind! There's a sheer black nylon top, a sheer black nylon chiffon skirt with built-in black nylon panties! I guess that's technically only two pieces... But I count where the nylon touches, not so much the pieces themselves *giggle* So that's one for the bosom, two for the sweep around the legs, and three for the bottom. *wink*

This Week's Lingerie Link Round-Up Is About Corsets!

In following the spirit of the lovely layers of corsetry post...

Over two years ago, Deanna Dahlsad debunked myths about corsets. I pointed out her researched articles out here before -- but you should check all three of the posts out because they explore everything from the myths of physical dangers and sexual repression to the cultural moments of feminists making strange bedfellows:

What If Everything You Knew About The Corset Was Wrong?

Corsets Are Too Sexy?

Corsets Bound To Stay Suffrage

The other reason I mention her stellar posts again is because Collectors Weekly has a similar article about inaccurate corset history; it's a shorter single post, and a bit less thinky than Deanna's, but it's interesting and supports her research in it's own way.

Now that you know the truth about corsets, the only thing deadly about them may just be how killer they look! (Or the name -- as in this Blue DeVille Underbust Corset from Kiss Me Deadly, shown in this post.)

Continuing the corset links...

Along with the traditional history of the Victorian corset, here are some bittersweet memories of old fashioned underthings, including corsets. Perhaps a bit too practical for those who prefer the romance to the realities of the past. *wink*

Let's not forget about men in corsets. Once just a part of any child's dressing, and so worn by men too, the corset now makes a sexy comeback for men too. (The post is safe, but the site in general is NWS.)
