Lady Gaga’s Style from WKD

Monday, January 18th, 2010

The lingerie brand What Katie Did has just presented a novelty that is a mixture of retro and glamour style. Katie Halford, designer of the brand, announced about launching of the black Deco, which looks very unusual yet interesting. The Deco set includes knickers of high-waisted design, a balconette bra, and a waist band with suspenders. This is the faux vintage undergarment items with geometric and clear lines. I swear that there is nothing more comfortable and pleasant by touch than this sensual and intimate lingerie. Every modern woman will appreciate such unbelievable comfort at its true value. The Deco set features a narrow waist band with detachable suspenders. It seems so alluring that the band is made in image and likeness of a corset. As any other What Katie Did’s undergarment sets, this one sports powermesh. That is an aid for those who dream of abetting their dangerous curves.

By the way, it is said that Lady Gaga was a muse for this set. Who knows but some features are definitely characteristic of her. It was precisely Lady Gaga who introduced such kind of undergarment in to the world of fashion. What is no less important, she was a pioneer to use this intimate lingerie both as under- and outwear. It seems quite bold, I dare say, but any fashion revolutions have always started from such extravagant decisions.
I cannot but paying your attention to the bra with decorated bottom halves and geometric lines. Its balconette design not only has perfect supportive function but also lifts and enhances appearance of a bust. That will obviously add a stirring and alluring looks to your image.
The black Deco is expected to come out as early as in the middle of January - that is right these days. So why not to try something extravagnt?

Vintage Lingerie: Slips

Saturday, January 9th, 2010

Every girl has dreamt at least once about being a beautiful princess living in a wonderful palace with magnificent park ensembles and multiple servants. Then the girl grows adult but her dreams are almost the same except for one detail. Now she pictures herself as an elegant and sophisticated woman with a sense of style. But not a single wardrobe of such a coquette can do without sleek, slinky and sensual slips.

Vintage Lingerie: Slips
Just for some additional information: there are two types of slips, a full and a half slip. The full slip reminds me a sort of chemise, while the half one is an undergarment hanging from the waist. Few lingerie items look as sensual and womanlike as a slip. To tell the truth, my attention was completely driven by full slips, while half ones looked rather old fashioned. Well, that is only my first impression, besides slips are vintage lingerie, so everything comes right.
The variety of materials they are made is vast: from silk and satin to taffeta and rayon. Their styles are simple but will definitely satisfy tastes of every fashion lover. Slips are trimmed with lace, ruche, sheer, ruffles, pleats, embroidery, and so on and so forth. Not so simple, you may say.

Vintage Lingerie: Slips

During the golden era in the industry of lingerie the most renowned manufacturers of a slip were Van Raalte and Vanity Fair. But they are not the only ones to produce such a popular lingerie item, among others there are Movie Star, Gossard Artemis, Gotham Gold Stripe, Barbizon, and so on.
By the way, I wonder if you know that there is a slip dress designed specially for street wear. It looks like a full slip featuring thin shoulder straps. Today in different languages “slip” refers not only to chemise but also to female and male undershorts.
