Vintage Lingerie – How to Get The Pin Up Look!

Vintage lingerie is all about glamour, cabaret and striptease. To get that vintage look there are 5 main elements you have to consider when dressing (or undressing) to impress.

1) Fake an hourglass figure

The main feature of the vintage look is the all important hourglass. Don’t worry if you are more boyish or apple figured there are clever ways to cheat that perfect hourglass. Channel your inner Marilyn Monroe and create the illusion of a narrow waist and balanced hips and bust. To create this look without a corset is quite simple with the entire range of tummy taming knickers available on the market. The best way to achieve this look is to couple a push up bra with some high waisted briefs that have tummy taming properties, sucking in your stomach and making your buttocks appear rounder and full.

2) Accessorise!

The key factor in retro clothing is to accessorise. The underwear should be just as glamorous as your outerwear. So that means full sets of matching bra’s and knickers or bustier and knicker complete with suspender belts and stockings A full lingerie set will increase your confidence if you know you look great under your clothes and of course the pin up girl look was created to make actresses appear slimmer so it really is the perfect look for you no matter your figure.

3) The All Important Corset

Every girl needs a good corset for special occasions, the perfect corset really does suit everyone especially larger women because it pulls in the waist, flattens the tummy, accentuates the breasts and is very flattering, Of course when you look good, you feel good and that is the most important thing. The only dilemma is what style to choose, there are so many colours to choose from and of course there is the option of sexy or pretty of course depending on your mood. A great corset will stand the test of time and is definitely a great investment.

4) The bullet bra

The bullet bra was a staple of the 60′s. Madonna famously wore one of these in her video for 'like a virgin’ however the bras were famous long before this in the 40s especially amongst screen actresses. The sales of bullet bras are up since last year with the style making a renaissance. The bullet bras were originally invented for women with larger busts to provide proper support and reduce sweating under the breast; the bras are much more comfortable now however and have been seen on the catwalks especially featuring in the new fetish trend.
