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!"

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.

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.

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

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

This vintage lingerie set by Al Sterling for Lisette is so sweet it almost makes your teeth hurt! The nightie is made of nearly edible layers of sheer pink nylon tricot with the pink Swiss dotted chiffon circling the neckline. The peignoir is nearly mad with the dancing pink flocked Swiss dots!

In my Shop It To MeSale Mail alert, I found that the Elle Macpherson Intimates "Fly Butterfly Fly" satin and mesh Torsolette is on sale at Bloomies -- now just $39. It's similar to a corset in style, complete with hook and eye closures in the back, with a sweetheart neckline trimmed in floral lace.

I've heard the legend of these lamps, but never seen one before! This is a mid-century modern Econolite Motion Lamp from 1955 featuring 12 pin-up girls by the great Gil Elvgren. How many of the pinups can you name? (Or are you just more interested in looking? lol) I want this so bad it hurts!

The only thing more dramatic than this vintage Lucie Ann peignoir is the diva who wears it -- and the only thing more ruffled, is the lady's feathers when you displease her! Vibrant hot pink for the woman whose temperatures run as hot as they do cold. *wink*

What's "up" will be your girls when they're wrapped and lifted in this vintage buttercup yellow powernet all-in-one long-leg girdle by Montgomery Ward. (I'm pretty sure if a man sees you in this, he'll have another answer for "what's up." *wink*)

One of the things that make corsets so wonderful was what lay beneath it... No, not (just!) the lady, but her other unmentionables! For practical reasons, a simple shift or chemise was worn beneath a corset, lessening the necessity for washing the corset as well as keeping the corset from rubbing against the skin. (The word "slip" wouldn't readily appear until the 1910s.) Chemises and shifts

I've been wanting to talk lingerie with the fabulous Bijoux for quite some time now. We begin with her statement about lingerie fabrics, specifically negative sentiments regarding nylon: One off the things I love about your blog, is it's made me really think about my love of lingerie, in subtle yet powerful ways. You get me asking, 'why do I think the things I do?' Example, a couple of weeks ago

Lovely lingerie maker Olga once made teddies -- teddies with the same bodice-hugging, figure-flattering, fit as the nightgowns. If you don't believe me, check out this vintage Olga teddy in pink Antron III nylon. Pale pink never packed so much of a punch! (Maybe this sort of a punch is a sucker punch... But I don't think that even if they saw this coming they'd keep their knees from buckling.)

Aren't these adorable?! I'm squealing with dreamy desire over these two pair of very sheer vintage panties trimmed in black lace -- each with their own little black cat with rhinestone eyes! One pair in sheer blue, the other in sheer red.

Shopping online with a friend, she sneerlingly said this vintage yellow nylon negligee reminded her of yesteryear's housewife. Pish-posh, I say. Housewife or not, what woman wouldn't love a all that lace and accordion pleating? For that matter, what man wouldn't love to see her in it!

There are reasons why black lingerie is so popular... Here are a few of them. This vintage beauty has a black lace bodice with a sweetheart bustline, with wide shoulder straps, is ruched and decorated in center with a trio of little round black buttons, above a sheer inset, a lace waist, and then a black nylon pleated skirt.

So many sexy black teddies! To begin with, a vintage blank teddy and peignoir set from Pandora featuring teddy with a nearly all lace front, done up in buttons! A very flirty vintage black satin Valmode teddy which has a very French Maid costume look. A vintage black teddy from Valeria Lingerie which has the expected (by the younger set, anyway) details: lace trimmed sheer black chiffon front

Supper sweet vintage lingerie -- a half-slip and matching full-cut bubble style panties in bubble gum pink with strawberry pink flowers embroidered on them! What a pair!

I know what you're thinking: "How can there be any unhappiness when it comes to Vanity Fair?!" Well, when it's not in your size and, like any vintage lingerie piece, you know it's not like the seller or any other seller is likely to have your size. *pout* So that's why this beautiful baby blue vintage Vanity Fair nightie gives me the blues.

This vintage pink floral print nylon nightgown and peignoir set by Lucie Ann reminds me a bit of the one Elizabeth Montgomery wore in Bewitched. I found it while writing a little article about Lucie Ann lingerie over at Greedy Snobs. It's not as soft in a pastel way as the one Samantha wore, but print Lucie Ann lingerie is rare so it's close enough for me! You can see her wearing Lucie Ann

Via this post about stunning vintage eyeglasses I found this scan of lingerie featured in the July 1965 issue of Vogue. The photos are by Bert Stern, and in the comments the model is said to be Jennifer O'Neill.

Along the "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful" line, I've joined Greedy Snobs. It's an exclusive online community for, well, those of us who appreciate and demand the nicer things in life -- which means you can't see any of it really, unless you're a member. Nope, not even my profile there. To be honest, I feel a bit like a fish out of water there... But I was invited. Nearly courted! Oh, how

If you've never worn a pair of puckered-panties like these, let me just tell you that you'll either love them or hate them. Not because of how they might look under your clothes (slips and other foundation garments can manage that), but because the little squares of puckered or shirred nylon, created by elastic, feel like, well, if you must know... Like a million little fingertips... Brushing you

This delicate looking vintage Powers Model petticoat or half-slip may seem too pretty to have horsehair, but then horsehair braid isn't actually made of a horse's hair -- it's the name for loosely woven braids made of transparent strands of nylon thread, which is often sewn into the hemlines of dressy garments (and undergarments).

What's not to love about that name? Especially when Suzy Slumber Dreamwear backs up the name on the label with all this?! This lovely sea foam green nylon nightgown and peignoir set -- each piece with the original sales tags! -- has delicately contrasting ecru lace trim all over the place and pretty floral embroidery in as-it-should-be pink for the petals and green for the foliage.

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!

Likely handmade panties to go and show under a dancer's dress, these vintage full-cut red corduroy panties are lined in satin. So instead of ruffles there are ridges -- but oh how fabulous they must feel to wear!

Jean Parker, Columbia star, wears a princess gown of ivory satin with tailored collar edged with real lace -- a perfect selection for the trousseau of the June bride of 1937.

Lilac set and a pink set. Why do things so soft and fabulous force such hard choices? *wink*

It just depends on who wears it and how -- and she wears it and how! *eyebrow wiggle and a giggle* Talk about cabin fever! Found at Smoke & Mirrors (NWS).

The front of these retro or vintage blue nylon bikini panties, trimmed in white lace, has a 'Saucy' bottle embroidered on the front.

Who wouldn't look and feel like a goddess in this vintage Carol Brent nightgown? Sheer lavender chiffon nylon in a classic style with lovely little embroidery about the bodice...

It's not just black satin, it's vintage Lucie Ann lingerie! This long slinky nightgown has a modest v-neckline above the glamorous sleek satin -- but, oh, what a plunging back!  Doesn't that string in the back, tied at the nape of the neck, just beg to be untied?

Fabulous film and beauty history alert! Deanna resurrects the life and times of a vintage African-American pinup and actress -- Vera Francis. I mentioned this at my other blog last week: Twiggy, the rescue dog and mascot of Chloe's Girlie Girl Army had cancer and needed surgery. You find a widget on the site to donate, or you can shop here to help! I had to mention it again because lingerie has

I love books, but they are becoming a luxury. Not just in terms of the price, but a busy life, cold weather, and limited hours seem to be conspiring to keep me from the library. It even seems like the time I spend getting there and back is the time I could spend reading... I wish I had put a Kindle on my holiday list. Magazines, blogs, books, all at my fingertips while I lounge in bed... You

An antique advertisement for the Foster Hose Supporter, which is "the only supporter with a pad large enough and supporting bands strong enough to push back the entire abdomen assuring the wearer a correct standing position and the much desired straight front." I'm pretty sure anyone would agree that, "much desired" or not aesthetically, the image on the right showing the Foster in use is not a

Supp-Hose was the combination of sheer nylon stockings and support hose by from Mojud. Love the name -- and the groovy graphics on the box and booklet. For sale here.

Though, if you're like me, you'll find yourself emulating the look! But that means we aren't shrugging at Diana -- but shrugging with her. *wink* Via DPopTart.

A fabulous vintage black novelty petticoat with a musical theme! The musical notes are open, rather like lace, the scalloped hem is flocked with faux velvet! Above the three tiers of sheer musicality (or is that bars of music?) there's opening in which you can wind ribbons...

It's probably no surprise to you that I, a vintage lingerie lover, am not a big believer in following trends. However, I know some of you are or just would enjoy these guides to thrifting vintage from Goodwill Huntingg: Fall, 2011 and Winter, 2011-2012. I found them in this article at Sammy Davis Vintage about careers in vintage clothing; oddly, there's no mention of blogging.

I've already answered the question about which comes first, the panties or the garters -- by saying that panties definitely belong under the garters. But Greg raised it again and so I thought I reminder was in order... Yes, it may seem impractical to place the panties beneath the garters. But since when does fine ladylike accoutrement equal practicality? Looking like a lady -- in terms of the

Not just any sexy red but vintage red nylon, whipped into intimate delight by Vanity Fair! The bodice looks like a strapless red lace bra beneath sheaths of sheer red chiffon acting like teasing straps -- topped in bows at the shoulders. All above a fitted waist, this vintage nightgown looks more like an evening gown. Authentic vintage lingerie, with a 40 inch bust.

A lovely vintage nightgown and peignoir set of ivory nylon with a dramatic, but not over-powering, print of bird of paradise flowers. Both lingerie pieces have the Blanche by Ralph Montenero labels.
