When most women think of retro lingerie, they think about the style of vintage undergarments. Garters, bullet bras, and granny panties that are, miraculously, sexy. But what we often forget is the fit. It was the fit of retro lingerie that made it, along with retro clothing, so gorgeous.

That fit, that glamorous retro lingerie look, comes from its structure. The spacing of seams, the reinforcements, and the love of good darting, all helped create those beautiful silhouettes. Unfortunately, these structural aspects of retro lingerie have been lost in modern trends towards comfort and stretch fabrics.

A Little Lingerie Company’s full slips will take you back to the days of screen siren Rita Hayworth, and the meaning of true glamour.

For those of us who want the look and beauty of retro camisoles or retro full slips, the question then becomes, how do we get that vintage fit without giving up the benefits of today’s comfortable stretch fabrics?

That was the question for Jennifer Michelle, president of A Little Lingerie Company.

“I have these gorgeous, retro slips from my grandmother. I love them but wanted to find a way to get that wonderful fit and support, without giving up my love of stretch fabrics. I am also a 32D and was tired of having to pass on all the delicate camisoles and bralettes I saw, unless I wanted to ruin the look by layering them over a bra.”

That’s how A Little Lingerie Company came up with a special underbust design, one that retains the fit of retro camisoles, retro bralettes, and retro full slips, but without giving up on today’s fabric preferences. With our retro lingerie, the underbust design gently keeps your breasts in the cups, without using underwires or molded cups. The design gives lightweight support and fits comfortably around your ribcage, keeping you from falling out of the cups.

The result? Glorious, retro lingerie for the modern woman, the perfect combination of the fit of retro lingerie and the beauty and comfort of today’s fabrics.
