Romper (Bed) Room

Sexy vintage three-piece Society Lingerie set, red nylon with black lace "ruffles" and trim.

Vintage Vanity Fair: Lacy & Racy

This vintage Vanity Fair nylon Tricot nightgown features lots of details, but it's the peek-a-boo look of sheer black nylon over a pretty pink French lace "bra" bodice which sends me into a swoon.



Thought I'd Ask, Just The Same...

Joan Collins wants to know what you're doing New Year's Eve.

Slip's Holiday Decorating Post

This year, deck the halls with garters.

Nearly A Black-Out On Betsey Johnson Robe

Via Shop It To Me, news that Nordstrom's got the adorable Betsey Johnson 'Luxury' Velour Robe on sale -- in black only. Regularly $85.00 - $89 (depending on the outlet), now just $55.90.



Not Even Betsey herself has the pink anymore -- in fact, she's just plain sold out of all these robes. I hope she makes them again (and again), including in larger sizes as my mom would have killed for this.

On A Clear Day...

You can see forever. With a sheer nightie, you can see -- and play -- forever! This vintage Kayser babydoll in sheer red chiffon has a large white lace accent and those little ties to secure the bodice surely seem to be an invitation more than a challenge *wink*

Green With Envy?

Pretty green vintage nightgown with crystal pleating by Vanity Fair.

Double Trouble Illusion

It's not just the illusion of sheer black nylon over sheer tan nylon on this vintage peignoir set that catches my fancy. I love how the peignoir robe is so demure, with that sweet embroidery and Peter Pan collar -- and then when you slip it off va-va-voom! Here comes a sexy gown!

Slinky Jungle Cat

As you know, I am a sucker for lingerie with cats. So enjoy, as I do, this vintage black maxi slip with a cat printed onto the bodice.


Naughty Is Nice, And FetLife's Santa Might Just Reward You For Your Honesty...

FetLife is giving away 217 presents this holiday season -- worth a whipping whopping total $24,287!

If you're not too much of a prude, you might want to go for the lingerie -- there are some sinful corsets *wink*

So go tell Santa what you want for the holidays and if you have been naughty or nice and he will see what he can do.

The lovely image I believe comes from photographer Peter Timofeyev; I found it at a tumblr thingy and while the image links to the photographer's site, I couldn't find the image there. I hate tumblr.

Mod Flower Power Mini Slip

Check out the vintage Greenco Maid slip with a black and hot pink print!


Photographic Evidence

This vintage photo postcard is proof of an unusually beautiful set of lingerie that existed once upon a time...

Dreaming Of A White Christmas?

Some people dream of a white Christmas; others just a light dusting of the white stuff... A sheer white layer that glistens and makes everything seem new... If you agree, make tracks for this vintage peignoir of sheer white chiffon. Ring in more than the holidays with 3/4 length bell sleeves, ruffles, a sexy mid-section of wide lace (elasticized in the back), and a drifting hem of varied length to swirl about -- and show off -- your legs.

Very Vintage, Very Frothy, Very Mini Slip

A very pretty vintage full panty with attached mini skirt slip with extra wide lace -- I mean over half the slip is lace!

Karen Millen Sets

Karen Millen sets such pretty dainty things before this queen; however, all the DD cups are gone. (Perhaps the optimist should see the cups as half-full, seeing as the sizes are listed, just not available.)



Perpetual Wolf Whistle Girdle

This vintage open bottom girdle has music notes embroidered on it -- so you shall have wolf-whistles wherever you go! *wink*

Now That's A Robe!

An incredible 1940s velvet dressing down in Neptune Blue with a Venetian leaf motif in beige. It just begs to be under my tree, laying across my bed, and -- most importantly -- on my bod.


Sweet Candy Cane Vintage Lingerie Set

Semi-creepy retro Santa face notwithstanding, I love this vintage Vassarrette candy cane striped lingerie set! A totally lick-able, I mean likable garter belt and a matching & pair of pettipants to mix and match with your basic red & white lingerie pieces.


Big-Bottom Panties Make My Rockin' World Go 'Round

We're not talking about the size of your (or my) bum, but dreaming of full-fanny-covering panties -- something more difficult to find in modern-made lingerie. These big-bottom panties get bonus points for going clear to the waist.

Speaking of "clear" to the waist, the Bettie Page Pin-Up Panty by Secrets In Lace are sheer dead-ringers for panties worn by Bettie Page. Full-cut panties of 100% ultra sheer non stretch nylon, featuring the classic wide lace accent around the leg openings.


These full-cut Bettie Page panties, also by Secrets In Lace, feature a pretty floral applique. (Both Bettie Page panties sell for just $19 each and come in plus sizes!)


The Lila Big Knicker by Lascivious has an arresting line of hooks and eyes for opening and closing up the backside -- and if that doesn't hook you, the detachable suspenders and flashes of bare skin at the hips is sure to catch your eye.


Fifi Chachnil's Sortir en Culotte Marquisette is a hi-waist brief with removable suspenders. There are magical control-top powers hidden in that contoured panel of silk and lace which will undoubtedly assist you in casting a spell on his magic wand.


Last, butt not least *wink* Cameo Intimate's Retro Sheer Panty. These pretty babies are a retro-re-do, featuring the best styling of the past (including up to 8 garters!) and modern stretch mesh Lycra for fabulous fit and comfort. Plus, like all Cameo lingerie, they are custom made by hand lingerie creations.

Wear Your Heart On Your... Girdle!

Vintage black floral lace open bottom girdle with fantastic red heart embroidery and accents, and 6 garters.

So Hard To Find The Perfect Navy

Strut Sweetly, Princess

Pretty vintage blue Strutwear nightgown with an embroidered chiffon bodice overlay and generous sweep, fit for a princess.


The Keepsake Lingerie Collection

The Keepsake Collection by Fleur of England (formerly known as Fleur T) is a stunning mix of elegance and playful invitations, of sensual grey silk and French eyelash lace... The only problem is the name. Calling your lingerie a "keepsake" may just mean he'll steal a few pieces!
