Strangely enough, the cloth I bought makes me happy most is not anything big but small, chic and cheerful lingerie that always makes me feel feminine and sexy (of course). My problem is that I sometimes do not really need that many. Actually, some of the shapes cannot really be worn under any cloth… but I still buy them purely because I love it so much. Particularly, girly retro lingerie is surely one of my fashion weaknesses! Now, you know the sweet treat to yourself is to buy some pretty lingerie.
- A Bit of History
The first bra, actually a corselet (or a half corset), was invented by Luman Chapman in 1863.
Our First Bra
Thirties year later, Marie Tucek patented "Breast Supporter" in 1893. It was the first garment similar to the modern-day with shoulder straps and a hook-and-eye closure. In 1904, Charles R. DeBevoise Company first labelled “brassiere” as a bra-like garment that is a boned camisole helping to stabilise the chests. Gradually, the word, brassiere, has appeared in many women magazines and even in Oxford English Dictionary in 1912. A famous story was how “backless bra” was invented. In 1913, a New York

Antique Intimates: the lace, the ribbon and the buttons are just sooo sweet...
Antique Intimates: I love antique French knickers... so pretty and comfy
Agent Provocateur: One of my favourite brands - the boned lace is really special and chic.
Myla: Remember the fresh water pearl knickers loved by Samantha in Sex and the City?Then you know Myla... everything is luxury under Myla, pure silk and divine design.
Agent Provocateur: I just like black & white!

lovely, as usual, post!
Thank you so much for your comment on my blog! I'm definitely going to add your blog to my favourites; everything about it is simply amazing. Especially your astonishingly stylish outfits!

To FASHIONPICS: Thank you darling!
i've always been an agent provocateur fan and love looking at their catalogues and stuff, but it's really weird because everytime i go to their shop in soho, i never ever come away buying anything. somehow nothing just seems as attractive in the store. i thought i was the only weirdo until i went window shopping with gala darling the other day and she said the same thing!
so pretty! I always want to buy gorgeous underthings, but you're right, they don't go well under real clothing...maybe I should just indulge anyway! You're inspiring, dahling.
& I love how underwear trends have gone from the original lacy stuff decades ago, to flashy trashy, and now back to the lacy pretty beginning!
You have some serious good looking lingerie. Love the black and white AP and antique knickers...
thanks for visiting me! yr blog is really lovely as are those beautiful underthings. the colors are amazing!
The first one is my favourite, I could totally wear it
I feel so informed about bras. Those lacy ones are really pretty!
I feel like all my underwear is so boring now.
Great post!
cute bras :)
agent provocateur? they have the best lingere ever. i love your pictures!
btw thanks for visiting my blog :)
Isn't it amazing what we can make in this world and even more amazing how we can have the capacity to admire it! KC
they're so sexy, Luman Chapman's probabily a genius.
I need to bye some new lingerie!
To Material Girl: How weird that we were thinking the similar things!
To Siljesfashion: Yes, that black and white is one of my favourite from AP...
To Softspoken: Thank you for stopping by and your lovely comments! You are so sweet!
To Aretha: You must love retro style like me then, darling! Yes, they are very pretty!
To Nay'Chelle: Darling, no it is not boring at all... some underwears are made for comfy, but some are more made for beauty. These are more latter.
To saray: Thank you darling!
To Inspire Me Today: Yes, they have pretty bras... I love AP and Myla, especially they're very pretty, sexy but not tacky!!
To K.C.: Thank you for your lovely commnet! True! Every little sweetness helps!

To Amie: I could see you loving some retro ones... they will make you feel great!
They are just sooooooooo soooooooo soooooooooooooooooooooooooo pretty! I love all of them... Each set is so adorable and quite different! I seriously want to get some new bras now! You must look stunning in them!
So sexy!
What a lovely lingerie!!!!
And the laundry bag turned the travel bag that's great. I think it was too pretty to be laundry.

Thanks, doll. I love that you always visit my page, so of course I had to tag the lovely YOU! ;)
These are great. I love lingerie as well; especially agent provocateur. Have you seen Marlies Dekkers' lingerie? She's a dutch lingerie designer who makes great stuff as well.
