This vintage black open-bottom girdle by Bien Jolie is named "Persuader" -- it says so right on it's original sales tag! Made of sheer black powernet, there's a lovely illusion lace front panel (where the zipper is), black satin panels on the backside and the sides, and six beribboned black metal garters too.

I know who's going to have a fit over this vintage Elmer Batters photo -- plenty of you boys (and girls) will love love love it, but Deanna and SPS might just have a conniptions over the stuffed dog toy! Or maybe not. It depends on their moods when they spy this. *wink* As for why there's no panty to really be seen in the photo, well, the stuffed puppy can't really see them with this button-eyes,

Gal pal Deanna (of Kitsch Slapped and others) is back writing at Collectors' Quest and there she shows us vintage Jayne Mansfield lingerie! Silent Porn Star was kind enough to include a link to me in her leg & lingerie link round-up -- go see the other vintage leggy goodies! (This post is quite safe, but the site is NWS.)

According to the latest American Express Spending & Saving Tracker Survey, more people are planing on buying Valentine's Day gifts this year: This year, more than half of consumers (54% vs. 41% in 2011) plan to purchase Valentine's Day gifts, and it's back to basics across the board. The most popular tokens of affection among couples include flowers (29%), gift cards (19%), jewelry (15%) and

Just before the end of last year, I met another local vintage lingerie enthusiast -- nearly literally bumping into her as we both were eyeballing a round-rack of lingerie at a thrift shoppe. (I was bent over, looking for long hems as the giveaway for vintage nightgowns and peignoirs -- shh! That's one of my shopping secrets!) Long story short, Caitlin and I quickly began gabbing about lingerie

That's right, I said "Bernette", not Bernadette, because that's the maker of this vintage peignoir (even if it reminded me of that song). However, you'd likely need to wear four tops (and bottoms) beneath this incredibly sheer vintage peignoir in order not to be seen!

One of my fellow Greedy Snobs, Miss Pinkie Galore, sent in this Valentine's Day gift suggestion: One of my fave pieces of lingerie is my emerald green satin bullet bra from Secrets in Lace. Throughout my years of vintage lingerie collecting, I've found many circle stitch bullet bras, but never any in MY size, so when I discovered that SIL made them, I just had to have! I don't remember

Seems the matter of which comes first, the garters or the panties, just won't lay down smoothly. Or stay down, for that matter. I've gone on record -- twice -- with this subject, not only to say that I'm not the lingerie police but to insist that garters do go over the panties. But the subject continues to prompt responses. So here we go again... First, there's been some discussion that the

The coral & stone triangle bra with the suspender coral and stone belt is stunning enough, but just look at the Triangle body! From the Fall In Love Collection at Miss en Cage.

I have to thank a member of my Lingerie Lovers club at Greedy Snobs (more info here) for showing me this vintage ad for the Gay Baby Panty, from Circe Foundations, Inc., which dates to 1948. This panty fits in with the history of the babydoll (not to be confused with Baby Moll lol). These panties share more than the "baby" name as the puckered panty is to resemble the ruffled rhumba panties of

One look -- one long look -- at these vintage sheer black nylon tricot full-cut panties by Rogers and you'll agree it's never too early for the OMG vintage lingerie pick! Look at the sheer accordion pleating inserts on the sides -- surrounded by floral lace trim! And there's more pleating at the leg openings too. Plus a ten inch long double nylon mushroom gusset.OMG indeed.

This sheer cloud of chiffon petticoat from Secrets In Lace has all the sassy silky layered fun of a vintage babydoll -- maybe even more as this petticoat has 40 yards of fluffy fullness with 120 yards of three-inch ruffling trims on the bottom tier! I can't decide between the white or the pink... And there's black too!

It's like Vanity Fair was tripping on acid when they came up with this bright animal print in hot pink, purple, royal blue, red and black! Vintage full-cut nylon panties in this mod print are sure to put a sly grin on your face and a gleam in your eye, no matter what else you're wearing. *wink*

If you like your lingerie on the skimpy -- yet complicated -- side, check out what Paula Patton wears in her husband Robin Thicke's video, Love After War. (Yup, that's Alan Thicke's son! Feel old, I do.) Katie West posted these stills and asked the question on the lips of many, "Where can you get this?" One of her readers suggested Mise en Cage.

Normally I prefer my cocoa rich and creamy, especially this time of year -- but when it's this sheer and a vintage Vanity Fair nighty, with matching bikini panties, I'm willing to make an exception? I bet you do too. *wink*

While many today think that the word "scanties" means thongs and g-strings, that isn't necessarily so. According to Merriam-Webster, the word "scanties" is a combination of "scant" and "panties," meaning "abbreviated panties for women." So on the surface, it does mean the briefest of briefs. But Merriam-Webster also states that the word originated in 1929, which means you have to look at the

I wasn't the only one who stayed up to watch this morning's showing of Elmer Gantry on TCM -- Gracie and Jaynie watched it with me too!

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.

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

The classic Chinese pajamas are often underrated -- unless, of course, Cyd Charisse is wearing them. *wink* Here's more inspiration: a page from Aldens Fall-Winter 1953-54 catalog. Charming!

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).

Whether you're fit enough for knits, or think crochet is the best way, you must love the monochromatic textured appeal of fishnets with sweater dressing.

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. The nightgown

Vintage Van Raalte full-cut sheer nylon panties go full out with the details: a double-nylon gusset and incredibly delicate lace inserts around the leg openings.
