Take a look at these vintage burlesque pics from the 1890s. These three are my favorites, but you can view more in the original BuzzFeed article.

Here's a lovely lady all dolled up in lace and pearls. Get a load of that super fancy headdress!

This next one is also lovely. What a sweet Cupid costume! Love the pretty little hearts on the hem of her outfit and those diaphanous wings.

But this last one is by far the most unique! That's quite the horse costume - so detailed, right down to the hooves!

Kicking off a new series of posts called "From a Guy's Eye", I review the Ivory Mesh Bustier from Baci Lingerie that we just got in the shop. I like to keep it classy and informative, but also tell you exactly why I think guys will love it. It's a tough job, but someone's gotta do it :)

This bustier really shows off the garters. They're so eye catching, suggestive and, well, feminine.  The garter clasps are classic and have been around since the 1950s. I love the garters because of the way the bustier rests on the hips. Often the garters on corsets or bustiers will be more decorative and can come up a little short, but these are generously long (8"-12") and will fit with almost any stocking or thigh high.

Vintage photos from lingerie advertising are always interesting. I love the larger-than-life scale of the leg sculptures, and the shop called "the undie world!" Enjoy! Pics link to original sources.

A friend of ours recently shared this nice little video on how to put on a garter belt. It's a simple, straight-forward demo on selecting and putting on this classic garment, but give it a look and see if you think it's lacking one important tip that might make wearing a garter belt a bit easier.



Well? Did this video tell you everything you need to know about wearing a garter belt? Or are you, like us, still wondering about one little detail? Here's what we wanna know: How do you clasp the garter straps around back onto your stockings without breaking your back or falling on the floor?!! Not so sexy when that happens!

A pair of stockings to the commenter who leaves the best tip!
