Our classic open bottom girdles (or obg) are the type of girdles most people would have worn in the 1950s. Other highlights for me include the 'petal' tap pants and bandeau bralette (fast forward to about 1:38 to see). With the exception of our panty girdle, which features 4 detachable suspenders, all the suspenders on our open bottom girdles are attached. By the 1930s there was a vogue for bias-cut clothes and material cut like this tended to elongate the figure and lingerie became slinkier and more figure-hugging. The traditional silhouette of long-line bras with French Knickers really does conjure up a 1940s ideal of glamour and sexuality with an over-riding elegance, and there are many “pin-up” images of models and starlets of the day posing in this kind of lingerie, a look that modern-day vintage style pin-up girls also aspire to.

What are missing are voices to match these images or the acknowledgement that these images are not merely fantasies, but could reflect a reality, my reality.

The commentary on this video is so incredibly bizarre; it's worth listening to, just very obviously from a different place and time. We understand that not everyone can donate right now, but if you can afford to contribute, we promise it will be put to good use. To me, the 1980s became the second heyday of this style of lingerie with glamour models like Samantha Fox bringing our traditional French Knickers into a whole new world of cheeky sexuality, always with a hint of silky, lacy romance and opulence. We'll star things off with a catchy tune courtesy of Ernst Lubitsch's 1931 film, The Smiling Lieutenant. There are so many things I love about lingerie: the gorgeous details, beautiful fabrics, sexy shapes and inventive concepts.

I dig this relatively new brand's sporty vibe, and I also like that their bras use velcro closures instead of traditional hooks and eyes (I may be off base here, but it seems like a velcro closure would be easier for women with dexterity or mobility issues to use). For the creators of these images, lesbianism, like lingerie, is a temporary costume, and in the fashion world, it rarely gets treated as anything else. Anya Lust is your new luxury lingerie destination, featuring over 30 coveted designers from around the world, plus our own in-house collection. They have a strange lack of animation that just seems to emphasize how unnatural these "lesbian" scenes are.Though her collection has taken a distinctly lacier turn this season, there are still some less-adorned pieces like these denim print boxers.
