One of my all time favorite photographs

"A Soldier's Goodbye & Bobbie the Cat" by Sam Hood.

How hard a goodbye such as this must have been...

And yet such a sweet picture, especially

with adorable little Bobbie there to bear witness.

Robin's Egg in Spring

What colour could be more perfect for spring,

my dear friends,

than robin's egg blue? Especially when paired with

the most delicious white lace?

Constructed to best fit those ladies of 

a more modest bustline, this full slip  by Gay-Lure is 

sure to set hearts aflutter with it's lively, playful colour and pretty

 details.

What a colour!

 Lets have a look at those details:

Lace encrusted bust with embroidery between the cups!

Lace edging between the shoulders at the back!

Some of the prettiest lace I've seen from this era, at the hem!

So, if you think you'd like to get into the spring mood

with this piece, head over here! before someone else does!

Dapper Delight!

We admit, dear friends, that there is nothing 

really lingerie related about this post.

That is...

unless you acknowledge the fact that a well dressed Chap

such as this is almost inevitably more likely than the average man
to catch a glimse of  the hem of a slip, or perhaps
get a peek at a garter and some stocking or even

some lovely vintage knickers, if he's particularily lucky ;]

Trust us on this one, we would know ;P

On a side note, check out The Chap for some good,

wholesome chuckles, and perhaps some inspiration!

Oopsies!

Ladies and Gentlemen!

It is true!

Mademoiselle M. is indeed a scatterbrain sometimes!

Such is the only possible explanation as to how she forgot to include

this lovely piece in her last post about our wares!

How could anyone forget something so pretty?

 Produced by the French Maid Lingerie Company,
and dating from approximately the 1960s, this piece is a stunner by any measure!

Cunningly constructed to show off ALL your curves!

Made of a daringly sheer, stretchy black nylon,
and trimmed in the most delicate lace imaginable,this sultry slip is
ideal for any fiery femme fatale.

The cups are all lace too! And so sheer!

So for those of you who can't get this beauty
out of your heads, head right here! to snap it up
before bidding ends!

New Listings at the eBay Emporium!

Yesterday, Mademoiselle Zeigfeld undertook the listing of 

yet more of our wares.

This time, we are a pair of two-piece sleep sets,

both of fairly free sizing.

The first is a lovely pair of powder blue nylon pyjamas,

consisting of a short sleeved jacket and trousers.

They have delightful lace trim around the collar, sleeves and pocket,

And are of a larger size, fitting a dame with a 

bust anywhere up to 44 inches, and a waist up to 38 inches.

Observe the pretty lace trim and gathers at the shoulder.

 The elastic is in great condition, and allows for a wide range of waist sizes to comfortably fit,

from 26in at the smallest, to 38 at the largest.

These Pjs are saucily sheer!

 Unfortunately, the trousers have a very faint yellow stain on the hip, 

however, this fact was taken into acount during pricing,

and they are an otherwise lovely set.

They can be found here for  those interested.

The second set we are offering today 

dates from approximately the 1960s and is of a lovely,

vibrant lemony yellow colour.

And I do mean vibrant!

Constructed of a total of four luxurious layers of nylon and trimmed in white lace,

this negligee and peignoir set is sure to please any lover of 

this time period.

 

 

 

Whilst the peignoir his high-collared, the negligee has a sweet scooped neckline.

Matching nylon ties threaded through the collars of both pieces allow 

for an adjustable, custom fit.

Indeed, this set can be comfortably be worn by 

anyone with a bust size 44 inches or less, and still look lovely!

Talk about lace!

The inner layer of both pieces is a soft, bright yellow nylon tricot,

while the outer layer is a stiffer, more sheer nylon.

All in all, a very cute set in pristine condition, it can be found right here!
