Is not the most erotic part of the body wherever the clothing affords a glimpse?  ~Roland Barthes







 

Mlle. and M. Ziegfeld present...

...the first of our items available for purchase 

at that grand boutique of the internet

eBay!

First up, we have a lovely two layer black lace slip dating from 

approimately the 1940s by Simpson-Sears Charmode.

Moira makes her debute in this lovely piece!

Made of nylon tricot and lace, this piece is in excellent condition.

It sports a wonderful scalloped hem and is, 

delightfully for ladies of the more curvaceous sort, 

a larger size, being particlarily full of bust!

The light was strong that day, but please observe the lovely waist-yoke!

 For those interested, this piece can be found here.

Next, I ask you to turn your attention, ladies and gentlemen,

to this lovely confection of pleats and lace.

Dating from approximately the 1950s, this piece by Gay-Lure 

sports all the details that make vintage lingerie of the period so delightful,

including a great fit, pretty lace, and best of all, delectable sheer crystal pleats at the bust AND hem.

As if that weren't enough, the hem is also scalloped!

Again, this piece is a lovely larger size and great condition.

Made of a soft, sheer nylon tricot, it is sure to delight any wearer

[or individual lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the wearer ;) ] 

These crystal pleated cups are capable of coddling a very bountiful bustline :)

 For those interested, one can find this piece here.

Finally, [for today] we are offering

this pretty little ivory confection. 

Just look at that lace!

Made by the delightful Dorsay-Montex, this half slip is of a 

smaller size, to fit those petite dames out there.

Again, this piece is also made of nylon tricot, and it's details are swoon-inducing.

With a soft peachy lace appliqued on top of even softer ivory,

this slip has a quiet, reserved charm to it,

sure to please a more modest lady as well as the saucyer dames out there.

As with the other two, it can be found over here!

And so concludes the first post of our wares,

look forward to many more to come!

And happy shopping! ;)

Introducing Mademoiselle Moira Ziegfeld!

My dear friends, 

on this evening it is with great pleasure and even greater excitement

that I introduce to you

the newest addition to the Ziegfeld Boudoir team.

She is a charming young thing with a wonderful figure,

and she kindly offered us her services in the department of modeling our wares.

She caught us at unawares in our local mall,

perhaps psychically sensing our distress at not having a 

suitable way to display our goods.

So,

without further adieu,

I give you

Mlle. Moira Ziegfeld!

The girl can be something of a nudist...most scandalous!

But she does have a lovely shape, doesn't she? Not to mention the pearls! ;P

Although a proper lady doesn't usually go around flaunting her dimensions,

due to her job, its a wee bit important Moira's are known.

Her measurements are:

Bust - 36
Waist - 28
Hips - 34

A nice solid medium, perfect for displaying

a range of sizes.

There we go, much more classy!

And of course, all of this means that we will finally,

after much delay

be able to open shop and begin offering 

lovely vintage lingerie 

to you, dear ladies and gentlemen!

Keep your eyes peeled for a post this week

about where to find our wares!

Joan Blondell shows off her quintessential flapper underthings!

If those aren't simply THE most darling camiknickers, I don't know what are!

Paired with those stockings and the deco decor...breathtaking!

If only there was half as much sass and pizazz in my lingerie drawer! ;P

[More] Bits of the Boudoir

In a follow-up to an older post, I present more snapshots of the real Ziegfeld Boudoir...

In this case, we have Monsieur N.'s paraphernalia, to complement

the excessive femininity of our last visit.

The gentleman does have such a lovely collection of antique heirlooms, 

I must say!

on an unrelated side note...

PUPPIES!

Cierra, our lovely Boudoir Queen mentioned in This Post had her pups a week ago...eight of them!

Aren't they darling, ladies and gents?

A beautiful song...

...for a beautiful day.

The weather is absolutely divine here at the Boudoir

and this particular piece suits the atmosphere so well...

On a side note, yes, we are still alive and kicking over here!

Troubles with our internet have kept us from blogging

but rest assured, we'll be back at it in no time!

Things appear to be fixed now, hopefully for good,

so we ought to be back to our regular schedule from here on.
