Ginger Rogers on the Beach in her Vintage One Piece

While searching for vintage-inspired swimsuits, I noticed that there are a few different styles companies keep making over and over and labeling it “retro” or “vintage”. Usually these are modern-cut swim suits with prints like polka dots, cherries and stripes – which is fine, don’t get me wrong – but I believe that the glamor and charm of vintage swimwear is really all in the classic cut of the suit. Whether it’s a one piece or two piece bikini, vintage swimsuits cover a lot more skin. This classic swimwear silhouette (halter + boyleg) never goes out of style. Throw on some cork wedges

, cats eye sunglasses and red lipstick and you’ve got the whole pin up look to go with your new swimsuit! Don’t forget the sunscreen!

Okay, so perhaps your favorite lingerie period is not the 20s, 30s, 40s or 50s. Maybe you’re more interested in the earlier easy but feminine look of the Edwardian era, where corsets are S-curved and free flowing, low cut cotton chemises and bloomers are in. And if you happen to be plus sized, not to worry – Hips & Curves has got your ass covered! (quite literally, hehe) The Edwardian era was ideal for women with full chests and curvy hips.

What Katie Did has just launched their new Spring/Summer 2011 range, Vicky! Modeled by the one and only modern pin up girl Bernie Dexter. The new What Katie Did Vicky collection is classically beautiful lingerie, made from semi-sheer black floral lace, layered over fine organza. It’s pure class.

Katie says:

Our Spring/Summer 2011 collection has just been launched. We hope you like ‘Vicky’ a romantic range in sheer pink and black lace as much as we do!

Oh, I do! I do!

What inspired Katie’s new design? The What Katie Did boutique manageress Vicky!

The New What Katie Did Vicky Bra

This new deliciously sheer balcony bra means business! Just like its raven-haired namesake, it’s strikingly beautiful, with just a hint of darker mystery!

Created from an intricately patterned, black floral lace, layered over delicate organza, Vicky is trimmed with pale pink satin ribbon along the tops of the bra cups. The design is a slightly new take on What Katie Did’s classic balconette, with underwiring and strategic seaming across the cups, to lift, support and separate the breasts for a truly alluring décolletage.

The New What Katie Did Vicky Panty

This panty knicker is a tantalising, semi-sheer version of What Katie Did’s bikini-style knickers, a cut that’s popular with Sixties fans as well as those retro girls who have an aversion to high cut granny panties!

These Vicky knickers are made from stretchy powermesh that gives light shaping at the sides and back, and a high cut that flatters and elongates your legs. The tummy panel is fashioned from non-stretch, black floral lace, layered over organza and trimmed with pink satin ribbon down the sides, with a cheeky strip right in the middle! This shallower style of knickers is just the thing for wearing under lower-cut skirts and trousers.

The New What Katie Did Vicky Suspender/Garter Belt – My Favorite Piece!

Could there be a more elegant a way to keep your stockings in place?

Named after their London boutique manager and all-round vintage vixen, Vicky, this enticing little number is made from panels of saucy, semi-sheer black lace and organza, with an intricate floral pattern.

Each panel is trimmed with delicate ribbon, and the non-stretch construction means it’s lightly shaping across the tummy and thighs; and highly flattering on a range of shapes and sizes. It’s finished with a hint of powermesh at the back, for a perfect fit, and features six of What Katie Did infallible, metal suspender clips. I dare you to resist this new garter belt!

By the way, ladies, that’s not all! There’s more at the website! A new swimwear collection and satin shapewear collection! Check it out and tell me what you think.
