Full Swing For Such A Little Thing!

A fab frou-frou vintage lingerie set from Claire Sandra for Lucie Ann of Beverly Hills. The nightie is in light blue with ecru lace trim and while short in length, it's big in swing -- it has modified trapeze cut with a full circle hem measuring approximately 120 inches. The matching shortie robe or peignoir is in the same shade of blue and is lavishly trimmed with natural marabou feathers!

Léa Seydoux: A Woman We Love -- To See In Lingerie

Regular A Slip Of A Girl reader tarzanzardoz alerted me (us) to this photo of Léa Seydoux in Esquire (January 2012 issue). Hubby no longer has a subscription to Esquire magazine. (Or he's been hiding issues? *wink*) This is just the sort of thing I could usually zip on over to frankufotos Lingerie for, however he seems to be suffering from tech issues and not able to keep up with our lingerie loving demands. (I understand, but still I pout and hope for his swift return!) Anyway, I had to search for this two-page photo of Lea and found this scan at Celebutopia. Click the pic; it gets big! (The image, I mean *giggle*) I don't see any shopping info in the scan, so I don't know where the leather or leather looking bra, garters and panties came from...
