We also use different external services like Google Webfonts, Google Maps, and external Video providers. Slips also helped to ensure that clothing 'lay' properly, and didn't accidentally reveal the wearer's body (particularly in the case of sheer or see-through garments). Other highlights for me include the 'petal' tap pants and bandeau bralette (fast forward to about 1:38 to see).

The commentary on this video is so incredibly bizarre; it's worth listening to, just very obviously from a different place and time. It's a cultural treasure full of vintage lingerie, vintage burlesque, and some awesome hair and makeup. Before Victoria's Secret, Frederick's of Hollywood was the lingerie name on the tip of everyone's tongue.

Contestants win cash prizes for taking on dares that involve peeing their pants in public in a variety of humiliating settings. While there aren't as many vintage lingerie videos as there are for, say, "regular" fashion, I thought these 12 were worth a look.

Slips have more or less fallen out of fashion, but they used to be a vital part of every woman's wardrobe.

Ok I just want to pause here and say that this article is written by me, Shiori, so please don’t worry, haha. For example, there’s Wakamechan, a beloved manga character from Sazae-San who has been flashing her panties at us for over 45 years.

If you only have time to watch one scene right now though, make it the striptease with both Bettie Page and Tempest Storm, starting around the 6:00 minute mark. You can tell a lot about people and the times they lived in based on what they wore, and lingerie is no different. Since these providers may collect personal data like your IP address we allow you to block them here. The "peeping tom" framing device for this video is genuinely pretty creepy/weird, but around the 3:00 minute mark, the fashion part starts. Now that summer is here, short skirts are everywhere, and your chances of accidentally seeing panties while walking up the stairs or escalator are higher, haha.

The company became infamous for popularizing black lingerie and "sexy" lingerie as well as sending catalogs to homes all across America. It's the last vintage video (but don't go away because there's one more video you'll want to see below)!

It happens when a Japanese girl wears a skirt that’s really short but she forgets and acts like she’s wearing jeans, lol. Christian Dior's famous 'New Look' required the sort of structured underpinnings that hadn't been seen since The Edwardian Era.Vintage-inspired, authentic vintage, vintage catalogs…taking a past look at women's undergarments is interesting not only from a fashion perspective, but also from a social or cultural one. It's only 50 seconds long, but features stunners like eyeball bikinis and swimsuits with attached baseball players (at least, I think that's what that is). Panties are everywhere in Japan – anime, video games, toys, movies, magazines and even news programs. And for lingerie lovers, it's a way of seeing how those all those museum undergarments actually look on the female body.
