Sexy lingerie, sexy you...

50s Lingerie

1950s Era Lingerie is both Stylish and Interesting


If you are looking for something different, try lingerie from the 1950s. Many of these retro styles are back in fashion and can be an interesting addition to your lingerie collection.

Lace and embroidery are definite themes that run throughout most of the lingerie from that time. The detailing made pieces look delicate and special.

Surprise your man by appearing as a scantily clad flapper, or innocent looking in cotton bloomers.

Some examples of lingerie available from the era:

-white cotton and lace slips
-gauze cotton slips
-to the floor silk dressing gowns with flowing sleeves
-sleeveless nightgowns
-decorative garter belts
-trained petticoats
-spaghetti strap lace slips
-negligees with wide bands of lace at the waist
-cotton bloomers
-half slips
-boned push-up corsets with jacquard or silk material
-Edwardian corsets with garters
-cotton camisoles

50’s corsets with attached garter straps paired with sexy stockings makes for a look that rivals any of the best lingerie from today. You can have so much fun with these special pieces that bring you back to the past.

Antique Lingerie – Actual 1950s Lingerie


Finding actual pieces from the 50s can be quite challenging. Unlike cookware or tableware, clothing such as lingerie just doesn’t last as long unless kept in pristine conditions. Check out your local antique store or try antiquelinen.com and antiquedress.com for great choices.

Although a little pricey, antique lingerie is special enough to warrant one or two pieces. Keep these stored well so they will last long enough to pass on to your kids.

Naughty 50s Style Lingerie

It wasn’t all innocent white and lace in the 50s. Black with red lace retro lingerie is a great way to tie in a 50s theme with modern colors. Some of these styles can be found in new versions at modern lingerie stores.
