New Vintage Lingerie UK, Something A Bit Different

Vintage clothing has been having a revival with the trend in retro style becoming increasingly popular. Vintage lingerie is no exception. Old-fashioned style lingerie looks elegant and alluring and makes a change from the popular lingerie styles of today. For a vintage look, wear stockings rather than tights and go for corsets or girdles. Lingerie used to be much bigger with more to it than the sheer, sleek, modern styles.

Corsets had boning and pants or knickers were bigger - in the style of briefs or shorts rather than G-strings or thongs. Stockings are considered much sexier than tights (hosiery which are all in one piece like trousers). Stockings come up to mid-thigh and need to be held up with a girdle, which goes round the waist and hips with straps to attach the stockings to, or suspender belt.

Some corsets and other styles of vintage lingeire also have straps for attaching stockings to. Stockings can be bought in different styles - plain, lacy or patterned. Stockings with black line up the back replicate the old-fashioned silk stockings with a seam up the back of them. Women had to straighten the back seam from time to time.

The Classic Vintage Corset

Corsets are a boned garment designed to pull women's waists in to give them more shape and definition. They do not have shoulder straps and are usually low-cut. The other effect of pulling the waist in is to give a curvier look round the hips and bust. This is a classic design which has never lost its appeal and never seems to go out of fashion, so it is well worth spending a bit of money on a really good one which will last. The bottom of the corset comes down to the waist or hips and some have straps to attach stockings to. Corsets can also be worn as outer wear.

Vintage lingerie can be ordered online. Some is genuinely antique lingerie and some is in vintage lingerie style. Custom-made lingerie is a good buy and you can select a style and colour that you want and have the lingerie made to fit you exactly. Elegant slips and nightgowns are also available from vintage lingerie websites. Online lingerie stores are a good place to shop for vintage lingerie as it is not widely available at main department stores and High Street shops. Buy vintage silk and lace lingerie as it will look beautiful for years to come if looked after carefully.
