The Vintage style and retro lingerie revolution is here

Vintage and retro style lingerie is making a huge comeback in 2008 - 2009

Would it be that  every high street in the UK now looks the same with endless

lingerie shops selling pretty much the same modern styles? There is a definite shift now in women buying retro lingerie styles featuring traditional classic lingerie styles of the 1940’s and 1950’s. Out with a suspender belt with cheap stocking clips, in with traditional 6 and 8 strap suspender belts with metal clasps and traditional seamed stockings.

Burlesque lingerie and burlesque clothing are the new luxury lingerie of 2008, and are sure to keep increasing in popularity amongst women who want quality lingerie that is stylish and alterntive to the mainstream lingerie of today. Retro lingerie includes everything from bullet bras to create that classic pointed bust look of the 1950’s, to frilly knickers and burlesque underwear with cheeky sheer french knickers and  underwear for the boudoir.

In terms of shapewear why not go all the way with a stunning retro lingerie girdle?  The burlesque lingerie style girdles create that classic hour glass figure a la the 1940’s and 1950’s movie sirens. Together with satin bras and genuine nylon stockings this is lingerie that will stop traffic in its tracks. Then for evening wear there are corsets – not cheap flimsy corset affairs but tight lace up corsets designed to pull you in by up to four whole inches! Corsets are available in both underbust – also known as waist cinchers and overbust corsets to create the optimimum cleavage in the style of the traditional can can dancers!

Once you have seen the full range of retro lingerie as well as burlesque lingerie and underwear you will no doubt wonder what you have been doing all these years! It heralds the long awaited return of women who want to dress as real women.

No doubt I will be seeing a lot more of you out there

Designer Corsets from Pandoraschoice

Angels carrying savage weapons bespoke corsets

Angels Carrying Savage Weapons Corsets was founded in 2005 by designers Lindsay and Lee Fidler. Lee and lindsay decided to pool their collective years of experience in both the fashion and graphics industries to create a product that was both elegant and unique but with an erotic twist.

 

Taking their inspiration from the heavily structured corsets favoured by the Victorians and the sophisticated, classically glamorous look of the forties and fifties, they have created a  luxury brand which is both sensual and seductive, yet makes the wearer feel empowered.

All the Angels corsets are cut from our Lindsays and Lees patterns in their design studio based in North Nottinghamshire, taking inspiration from Victorian pattern cutting techniques but making them work for the modern woman. Each corset takes approximately 12-15 hours to create and are all individually handmade to order to ensure a high standard of quality. Following the manufacture of each corset they are carefully wrapped in unique silk bags which are monogrammed with the Angels carrying savage weapons logo. They use only the most luxurious fabrics and trims to produce  glamorously sexy burlesque vintage designs  designs. Each corset is designed to minimise your waist between 2-4 inches using up to 7 metres of spiral steel boning to encase your body beautifully. Orders can be made in the standard size chart or to your own bespoke measurements at an extra cost.
