admittedly, i prefer "vintage-styled lingerie" over "vintage lingerie." something about wearing another person's bullet bra really takes the sex out of sexy.
from push-ups to corsets, there are lots of modern and craveable vintage-styled under-frocks that give you a fab curve or flatten without the torturous belts and brutal boning of yesteryear.

above clockwise from top left: voletta soft cup bra (£25.00) and brief (£18.00); kiki de montparnasse muse corselette bra (275.00) and brief (175.00); lake and stars waterloo bralette (130.00) and garter (72.00); lace corselette £32.00); vintage style long line bra (£16.00) and vintage high waisted knicker (£8.00); hayward padded bra (38.00) and brief (38.00).
below is a luscious little ad from the 1950s for felina's girdle. very haute. makes the spanx look super snoozy.

That video is gorgeous! I love French animation. And I agree that spanx aren't too sexy.

Much sexier than Spanx but probably 20 times less comfortable.

agh, why do i like the $175 panties the most?!
Posted by: parisienish | November 20, 2009 at 10:15 AM
Parisienish, you like them because $175 panties are pretty. Much prettier that $174 panties.

That little video is so beautiful. It almost looks like modern that is trying to look vintage.

But for less privileged souls, traffic jam in an unfamiliar country is a pleasant experience itself. So much can be observed while you're stuck. Whether in Nairobi or in Dhaka or in Mumbai...
