Vintage lingerie & silhouttes


The fashion world has been interested in all things burlesque (the style icon status of burlesque performer Dita Von Teese having much to do with this) for many years now and with this has come a resurgence in interest in the pin-up girls of yesteryear (many of whom interestingly enough seem to be named Betty)


Now what seems to be following is an interest in vintage lingerie, beyond the burlesque-style corset. I believe that last season's year's high-waisted skirts & pants paved the way for the current love of the high waisted underwear that is very much this era.


The Catwalk Queen reports on UK Elle featuring high-waisted knickers on it's June cover, while the wonderful Agathe has written and posted pictures of her vintage lingerie searches on the highly-addictive Style Bytes.
