Womens Vintage Lingerie

Vintage lingerie has long been an inspiration for modern day design, and understandably so, with a wealth of exquisite styles to draw inspiration from. Finding genuine vintage pieces that are also in a good enough condition to be wearable, or indeed in a size that fits, can be a challenge however.

Thankfully, there are plenty of ways to evoke the elegance of bygone times, while still taking advantage of modern day comfort, sizing and fit.

For instant impact, we recommend the key styles of garter belts, French knickers, longline bras and slips - explore more about each of these styles below, or head to shop our whole vintage lingerie edit to start building your collection.

After the invention of pantyhose and the rising hemlines of the 1960s, garter belts and stockings became less and less popular for mainstream wear. If you’re creating a look reminiscent of an era before then, a garter belt is the quickest way to add some instant vintage style.

Though often relegated to “bedroom wear” nowadays, and usually made with fairly flimsy construction, in the past garter belts would have been worn all day long as the only way to hold up hosiery, so were much more practical garments.

Ours are created to be the best of both worlds, crafted in luscious silks and delicate laces to both feel and look beautiful, but with details designed for wearability. Gold toned adjusters on silk covered straps allow the perfect fit for different lengths of stockings, with wide 15mm straps and clasps striking the perfect balance between visual delicacy and being sturdy enough to properly hold stockings in place. Hand cut ribbons on each clasp add the perfect finishing touch.

Modern Trends With Vintage Lingerie

Eleanor, our signature collection, is available in multiple colourways with a variety of coordinates to match, with scalloped French lace panels, silk linings and the classic 4 straps.

If you prefer a more supportive style, the Serena and Persepone belts are created with a much deeper, more retro-style cut, and are lined with sheer tulle for gentle shaping. Both have 6 straps for a more secure hold on your stockings, all silk covered and with hand-cut ribbons as always.

For a more risqué vintage style, the Aurora suspender, in both black and red lace, takes it to the next level with 12 individual straps and clasps. This is also our only style featuring the more unusual clamp adjustment on the straps, ensuring with absolute certainty there can be no slippage of stockings. Bring out your inner Bettie Page by pairing it with the matching lace quarter cup bra, or mix and match with any of our Eleanor collections featuring black lace.

Not a fan of stockings? Tap pants, also known as French knickers, are another great way to bring a dose of vintage glamour. (Or indeed, an additional one – they fit perfectly over the Eleanor garter belt.)

Worn as an alternative style of brief, they work beautifully under full skirts and dresses for retro style swishiness. Ours are available to match the Eleanor collection in multiple colourways, with many other options available as custom order, so do reach out if you have a particular shade you are looking for.

Combining the luxury of silk with modern-day wearability, a touch of elastane in the silk ensures all-day fit and comfort, with delicate button and loop fastening for authentic vintage detailing.

As well as adding vintage styling beneath your dress or skirt, a silk slip actually has many practical benefits for modern day wear as well. The silk avoids static between your hosiery and your outerwear, adds opacity to more lightweight or sheer outfits, and in wintertime has excellent temperature regulating properties for layering your outfit.

If you’re concerned about garter grip bumps showing under your clothing if you’re out for the day, a slip also adds an extra layer of concealment.  

Channeling 1950's glamour, longline bras are a great way to add some vintage flair to your lingerie collection. Wear with a high waist brief for maximum retro style, or a more modern update with a matching thong or low rise knicker.

Curious for more tips on how to wear this shape, or why it's so comfortable for a larger bust? Our longline bra guide has more detail on this classic style.Achieving the 1950s silhouette takes a little creativity but it can be done using modern or reproduction 1950s lingerie. Start with a retro 50s bullet bra or classic shaped cone bra and add a pair of waist cinching high rise 50s panties / knickers, a girdle, or a corset waist cincher. For the ultimate in shaping an hourglass figure, wear an underbust corset. You may also need a garter to hold up your vintage backseam stockings if your 1950s underwear doesn’t have them attached already.

The correct 1950s retro lingerie can make a big difference in how your vintage clothes fit and your confidence too. Many repro vintage retro lingerie sets come in regular to plus sizes and up to 42F bras! They are beautiful on the outside, perfect for pin up lingerie photoshoots in a range of authentic or inspired vintage colors.

„What Katie did“, also was Katie machte, war folgendes: Katie Halford, die schon vor über 10 Jahren ein Fan von Retro Fashion, Korsetts und stilechten Strümpfen war, konnte damals nur in Fetisch-Shops die Sachen finden, die sie mochte. Katie war genervt und kaufte aus lauter Verzweiflung 100 Paar Strümpfe, die ihrem Anspruch genügten, im Großhandel. Die Strümpfe, die sie selbst nicht brauchte, verkaufte sie online weiter. Dabei merkte sie, dass Vintage Fashion mehr Liebhaber hatte als angenommen – und prompt war ihr Shop What Katie Did geboren…

Shop

Was 1999 so klein begann, hat sich inzwischen zu einem Shop gemausert, der keine fremden Labels mehr braucht, sondern sich auf die selbst entworfene Vintage Lingerie verlassen kann. Diese betont die Silhouette der Trägerin und hüllt sie in edles Material, so dass sie sich fühlen kann wie einst Marylin Monroe, Rita Hayworth oder Audrey Hepburn. Denn zum schönen Pin Up Outfit gehört auch das entsprechende „Darunter“, das die Taille schmal macht, den Busen hebt, die Hüften betont und so die Optik des 50er Jahre Looks perfekt macht.

Ins Auge fallen nicht zuletzt die wunderschönen Korsetts. Ob schlicht und einfach, im Sailor oder Cabaret-Stil oder mit auffälligen Designs – alle dürften auch durch ihren Preis erfreuen, der in den meisten Online Shops oft deutlich höher ausfällt. Aber nicht vergessen: Die Preise sind in Pfund angegeben!

Bei ihren Designs orientiert sich Katie an echten Vintage Mustern, die sie nur leicht verändert, um sie modernen Ansprüchen anzupassen. Sie versucht auch, authentische Stoffe zu verarbeiten und dabei Produktionsmethoden zu verwenden, wie sie in den 40ern und 50ern gängig waren. Also nichts mit High Tech und modernsten Mitteln! Jedes Modell von What Katie Did, egal ob Slip, Strumpf oder Korsett, ist ganz nah dran am Stil der Goldenen Fünfziger und vermittelt nicht zuletzt dadurch ein authentisches Tragegefühl.

Fashion von What Katie Did wird inzwischen nicht mehr nur im Online Shop wie Ars Vivendi oder Rockabilly Clothing verkauft, sondern auch in Boutiquen und Geschäften weltweit, unter anderem von der bekannten Laden-Kette Urban Outfitters.
