With The King’s Speech poised to perhaps win this year’s Oscar for Best Picture and HBO’s new hit Boardwalk Empire recognized with both SAG Award and Golden Globe nominations, it’s no surprise that there is revived interest in the days of Prohibition and the years leading up to World War II.
And while many clothes from the 1920s and 1930s can appear too costume-y for everyday wear, the lingerie of this period is simply delightful. The elegant silks, the flowing bias cuts, and the luscious lace combine in creations that that are just as feminine and sexy in the 21st century bedroom as they were in boudoirs shortly after the turn of the 20th century.
Take today’s VPOD for example. This deadstock vintage 1930s bias cut satin slip in dreamy apricot provides current Agent Provocateur style but with a more friendly yesteryear price tag.
It’s a lovely Valentine’s Day treat for a vintage fashionista!
Available at Dollhouse Bettie.
