Retro/pin-up lingerie/clothing?
Permalink Closed

Does anyone know of any good places (online preferred) where I could buy some retro/pin-up looking clothing and/or lingerie?

I am doing this workshop in San Francisco in a few weeks and I need to find something to wear:

Hi Kitty - PLEASE review that workshop when you do it!  I've been wanting to do it for a long time, but didn't know anyone else who had done it.

That looks really fun. I think it would be great to get cute pictures like that done! I would do a search on Etsy. I know there are sellers on there that sell that type of thing, but I am not sure of exactly which stores.

www.alittlelingeriecompany.com - they also have links to other sites. You might try searching for "rockabilly" too (lots of crossover).

FWIW, I write for a lingerie website and have been in periodic contact with the owner of A Little Lingerie Company. If you love something from that site, get it while you can. They will be shifting gears soon and abandoning the old styles very soon. I really like their cell phone garters and mini slips.

Here are some of my favorite retro websites/designers (I haven't tried all of them personally, so I'm just going by pictures for some of these):

http://www.sophistikitten.net

http://www.secretsinlace.com (their photography/styling makes all their stuff like dowdy, not retro, IMO...but it's still very good stuff. You just have to envision it on yourself instead!)

http://www.whatkatiedid.com

I know www.agentprovocateur.com has some retro stuff, but the website isn't working right now for some reason so I can't point out any specifics

http://www.kissmedeadly.co.uk

http://www.patrickandskinner.com

http://www.chantalthomass.fr

ETA: Victoria's Secret and Frederick's of Hollywood have some stuff too (links just go to the first pieces I found)
