It’s hard finding vintage themed items if you’re plus-sized. It’s even harder if you don’t want to spend an absolute fortune on pinup couture!

Start out with some great foundation wear to smooth away all those bumps and cellulite (if you’re unlucky enough to have any – like me!) before you put on your pencil skirt or dress. A good girdle under your pencil skirt/dress is the basic of pin up girl fashion, creating that to-die-for hourglass figure.

Forget the Spanx, ladies, it doesn’t work for plus-sized girls (at least not for me!), I think it’s great if you’re maybe a size four and want to look like a two. Personally, I like Secrets in Lace for my foundation lingerie (they have a plus-size salon), but Hips & Curves also has this control slip dress in their Shapewear category:

Control Slip with Underwire Cups – $ 39.95 When you want a little control, but not too much, this microfiber slip dress offers gentle smoothing over the tummy, thighs and rear. Perfect under a little black dress – or worn by itself it becomes that little black dress. Straps are removable. Available in 1x, 2x, and 3x. Supportive molded underwire cups best fit sizes D, DD and will fit up to an DDD or E – for that luscious pushed-up look with an extra helping of cleavage.

Now that we’ve got your vintage lingerie foundation and shapewear down, let’s move on to some plus size pin-up girl fashion! Show Me!

I’m sure you’ve heard by now that Dita has her own stockings brand. But where to buy them? Secrets in Lace of course! In fact, Secrets in Lace has the largest selection of full fashioned stockings in the world!

But what are the advantages of wearing full fashioned stockings?

Anyone who has worn regular stockings with stretch lycra and faux seams, even for just a few hours, knows how hard it is to keep those seams straight. It can get annoying having to constantly fix your stockings. Full fashioned stockings are more stable and your seams will stay straight. Remember they are made of non-stretch nylon, therefore they do not stretch! They are shaped to the leg and you will need to buy the proper size for your leg, else if you stretch them, they will start to slide down. You will be able to tell the difference between real nylon stockings and shitty .99 cent store lycra stockings!

Secrets in Lace brand is not available in stores. They’ve resisted requests from large retailers and only sell by catalog and their website. Dita Von Teese herself is a customer, and chose the brand to create her line because she trusted the company’s knowledge and experience with full fashioned stockings.

From Askmen.com:

Q. What made you want to do your own line of signature stockings, your Secrets In Lace Dita Collection?

A. “I have been obsessed with seamed stockings my whole life, and I would collect vintage ones that were made in the ’40s and ’50s with the authentic styling of the keyhole, the welt, the reinforced toe and heels, French or Cuban heels, and hand-stitched seams. I can’t stand faux-seamed stockings with lycra — you lose the sensual feeling of the fabric. So, I began shopping with Secrets In Lace, and together we made the ultimate fancy-styled seamed stocking.”

The website offers Dita’s brand of stockings in five different sizes (P, S, M, L, Opera) in French Heel (Black or Beige) and Glamour French Heel (Beige or Grey).

But what makes this store different?

Secrets in Lace’s full fashioned nylon stockings are manufactured on the same machines used in the 40’s and 50’s, and made in the same way – they are knit flat and sewn together with a backseam. The finishing hole and imprint found on the welt complete the glamorous stockings. Fans of sheer stockings will be thrilled to learn that Secrets in Lace also has the largest selection of finer denier stockings (10 denier and 7 denier). Secrets in Lace also has the only true 10 denier fully fashioned stockings in the world. With a variety of heel styles and reinforcements, anyone can find exactly what he or she is looking for.

Girls! Girls! Girls!

In Hollywood Nudes in 3-D! a dazzling array of Hollywood starlets, including Marilyn Monroe, Bettie Page, Dixie Evans, and Tura Satana, come to life in all of their enticing loveliness. Harold Lloyd, star of such classic silent films as Safety Last and The Freshman, shot more than 300,000 photographs with a stereoscopic (3D) camera. Many of the photos were of young women who dreamed of making it big in Hollywood. Here–for the first time ever in book form–are 200 of Lloyd’s most lavish, luscious, and ludicrous pictures of Hollywood nudes posed against some of the most dramatic and creative backgrounds imaginable. Approximately 75 are reproduced in tantalizing 3D, and can be viewed with the aid of the special Harold Lloyd-style glasses included with the book.

Get it for you or the Pin-Up lover in your life!

In Review: “The first thing that caught my eye when I received “Hollywood Nudes in 3D” was its cover. Could this truly be something erotic? A naked woman is lounging around on her back, smiling towards you on a white backdrop filled with hanging paper decorations. The title is written in a bold, exciting font, informing you that it contains “Hollywood Nudes in 3- D! Includes 3-D Glasses Inside!” on blue and orange circles. The cover is printed on that kind of 3-D optical illusion material where if you look at it one way, you can see the letters, and if you look at it another the text disappears. With the exception of the smiling naked women on the front, the whole thing reminded me of a 3-D children’s book.

Upon opening the book, I discovered that it did indeed come with 3-D glasses. About half of the photos in the book are 3-D, while the others are normal material. I had some issues getting the glasses to stay on; they kept falling off of my head, so I kept having to hold them with one hand.

I was really surprised at how aesthetically pleasing the photos were: they are all old Hollywood models, examples of true classic beauty. Unlike most of today’s models, these gorgeous women have curves. Many of the photos reminded me of pin-ups.

Sometimes the 3-D wasn’t all that effective; the red and blue tones didn’t come together very well. I would have rather had some of these just be regular photos, because they seemed very beautiful. When it worked, though, boy did it work! There are a few really stunning photos and the 3-D really manages to capture the depth of the pictures. After a while, however, the glasses/colors started to hurt my eyes a little.

If you’re looking for something erotic to read to get into the mood, this book isn’t what you want; it truly is art instead of porn. The photos are fun, beautiful and tastefully done.”

My Gretchen Princess Long Line Bra is so comfortable I have been wearing it for evening events under semi-sheer blouses with a tapered skit for a classy nostalgic look. I have it in all three colors including the newest color black. Of course I accessorize with stockings and for the summer I recommend either the Sheer Heel and Toe selections or the 7 and 10 Denier RHT’s! The Gretchen Collection has a classic waist cincher, lace front panty, tap pant and sheer gown. The colors coordinate with the newest Kristen Collection a stunning 6 piece sheer daywear grouping and also Dominique (last season’s daywear collection).
