Silver Screen: Vintage Retro Lingerie
Vintage lingerie is somewhat difficult to find in this day of modern manufacturing and gorgeous designs. There is something to be said for the days of the 1930’s, 1940’s and 1950’s though; the sheer glamor of every stitch, every ruffle and every bit of silk is apparent in the designs inspired by this era of history. Silver Screen is a vintage and retro lingerie, clothing and accessories e-shop full of treasures waiting to be found not to mention a selection of burlesque pieces.
1930's Peignoir
Pieces in the “vintage” category will change frequently as they are true vintage styles. Currently they have a Vanity Fair flora nightgown in stock, in size large and vintage pajamas from the 1940’s to name a few. The site is super easy to use and pleasing to the eye; although bigger images would be nice. Prices are listed in Euro, US Dollars, and British Pounds Sterling – a very pleasant feature for international buyers. A gorgeous 1930’s Peignoir made by hand is also available in size large. Sizing may need to be verified by the buyer prior to purchasing to be sure of the fit.
Marabou Stole
The Retro category holds older clothing that has not yet made it to vintage status. Pieces like French Bra Sets from the 50’s and 70’s as well as bloomers and knickers from the 60’s. The site also offers free shipping world wide and some of the lowest prices I’ve seen in a while. If you are a fan or even curious about vintage and retro lingerie stop in and see what Silver Screen has to offer; you may just find a blast from the past. ( Yeah I know that was a lame joke but I couldn’t resist.)

Elegantly Scant: Australian Artistry
High Tea Chemise
Elegantly Scant is located in Sydney Australia and produces two collections each year. The design label was founded to once again produce hand made lingerie with love and care. The predominant fabrics in Elegantly Scant collections are silk, cotton and laces with a blend of the vintage and modern. Lingerie is not just created and produced but rather born into existence from the smallest detailing to the cut of the fabric prior to sewing.
Rosebud Chemise at Boudiche
Each collection accentuates the natural curves of the female form adding to its allure and sophistication while flattering simultaneously. The up coming collection, Collection One 2009, has ranges such as Black Beauty, French Affair, Show and Tell, and Undercover Kitten. Each range has varying styles and sets. Some have padded bras and chemises, while others add a corset or strapless bra.
Peepshow Range - Padded Bra with Brief
Elegantly Scant has a real vintage feel to their designs without seeming old fashioned; in fact they have done just the opposite. I love the glamorous sophistication that is inherent in every piece of every collection. Frills adorn some of the ranges giving them the perfect touch of femininity while holding steadfast to elegance. The average set sells for $100 (Australian dollars) and can be ordered from their site. Just drop them an email; most orders ship the same day.

Corset Rouge
Corset Rouge is an independent corset making company located in London. They have been designing corsets for over a decade and design styles form Bridal to underbust and even custom pieces. Three collections encompass their mastery of the art of corsetry; Bridal, Pret a Porter, and Leather.
Piping Detail Corset - Pret a Porter Collection
The Pret a Porter collection is simple beautiful. Corsets to be worn with long flowing skirts or over your blouse for a sexy corporate look. Styles in this collection include classic overbust corsets, front lacing corsets, Victorian and underbust corsets. Each corset can be created from a wealth of materials including brocade, silk, velvet and leather to name a few. The bridal collection is simple, elegant and detailed in its craftsmanship. You may even wish to forgo the bridal gown and choose a corset and a bridal skirt, which is not too terribly common these days, but stunning nonetheless.
Diamonte Detail Corset - Bridal Collection
The leather collection is for those looking for something a bit different. They carry a wide variety of colors but can order virtually any color a client may need or desire. Leather corset styles include overbust, pointed underbust and piping detail corsets. Corset Rouge also offers a custom corset service. They can take your design, ideas, or measurements and create a gorgeous corset made specifically for you. It is recommended that you contact Corset Rouge prior to ordering as the design and fabric choices may alter the measurements and fit. They will contact you when they receive the order to confirm and review the choices or requests made. Each and every corset is crafted from the finest materials and produced by highly skilled craftsman.
Leather Corsets
Corsets should be ordered at least 4 inches (10cm) smaller than your natural waist for great fit and comfort. Corset boning can be as few as 28 per corset to 60 per corset and really depends upon the size and style of the corset in question. Producing a custom made corset can take up to 9 weeks, but it is worth the wait! So drop by the Corset Rouge site and see what they have to offer.

We have been teaching ourselves site design, internet marketing, link trading, and social site networking to provide the best information possible to our visitors. We are looking forward to the New Year in which we will be launching the FULL DirectorySexy site!! Very exciting for us as well as our friends from around the world.
From the bottom of our hearts – THANK YOU & WE LOVE YOU ALL!

The Julianne collections are quite simply all about indulgence and self decadence, and a little for the on-looker as well. Every piece celebrates femininity and the beauty of the female form; every curve, every nuance and every movement. They all have a certain timeless appeal to them making them very popular very quickly. Only a year after launching the Julianne label, Nicky’s designs could be found in 7 countries and can now be found in many more.

Lounging is a glamorous affair with Julianne Loungewear, and as it should be. Nicky Adamo’s chemises and camisoles can be worn to lounge or for a night on the town paired with a jeans or with dress pants or a skirt for an enticing effect. The sky is the limit! Her current collection, “Bailar” is Spanish for ‘dance’ and has been inspired by flamenco dancers. Floaty, whispy babydolls and and chic feminine ruffle details adorn the collection along with gorgeous laces and the finest silk fabrics. This collection is truly romantic and is quickly becoming one of our favorites.

Aimee Bra
Vannina Vesperini
Vannina Vesperini started her label in 1996 and has been at the forefront of lingerie for some time now. She was one of the forerunners of “lingerie as outerwear” and catapulted the trend into mainstream. We all know this trend as we have seen gorgeous bustiers and corsets worn over blouses and as clothing themselves, not to mention the use of silk and satin chemises or camisoles worn under business suit jackets to add a bit of femininity to an otherwise drab business environment. This concept has been adopted by many of her competitors and peers in the industry; it can be seen in almost any collection these days.
Vannina employs the highest quality fabrics and craftsmanship in her designs. They are not only beautifully crafted but practical. All of her bras are designed to be worn under form fitting clothing without and visible lines. Her designs of halter bras are perfect for under a blazer, or you could choose a sophisticated silk tunic for a night on the town.

Vannina has won many awards and has been recognized by multiple publications. In 1999 she won the ‘Oscar of Creation’ award and was nominated for “Best Creator of the Year 2004″ by Paris Capital de la Creation and International Lingerie. Her studio, VV Studio, is made up of graphic designers, stylists and pattern creators who deliver their expertise to brands around the world by adapting to their trends and creating lingerie to suit her partner brands. To top it all off she was featured in Cosmopolitan magazine in November of this year and will be featured in Marie Claire in January of 2009.
