Marks and Spencer Vintage Lingerie Jubilee Collection

M&S lingerie has a rich heritage, launching their very first bra in 1926! And to celebrate the 2012 Queen’s Diamond Jubilee in the UK, they’ve dug into the unique M&S Archives to take inspiration from the lingerie styles which were popular in the Marks and Spencer ranges 60 years ago.

In the early 1950s, bras came in three sizes; small, medium and large. Today M&S sell over 40 sizes in many of their bra ranges, with cup sizes ranging from an AA cup through to a K cup! (If you’re a big busted lady, I highly recommend buying bras from Marks & Spencer – they really know how to make a supportive bra!)

Iconic 1950s lingerie styles included sweater girl conical bras, flirty french knickers, slinky teddies, shaping corselettes and suspender girdles. These 1950s, vintage styles inspired M&S talented designers to create these unique, sassy, archive-inspired, Limited Collection lingerie, sleepwear and sexy shaping underpinnings.

My absolute favorite, must-have from this collection is the Limited Collection Vintage Satin Bra (shown above).

Shop the entire M&S Jubilee Vintage Style Collection. Hurry though, it’s limited edition!

Vintage Lingerie Brands: Saramae

Vintage Lingerie

Apr 012011

Saramae lingerie was a mid-priced yet very elegant lingerie brand that was sold in high end department stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue from the 1940s through the early 1980s. The Saramae lingerie brand was famous for quality craftsmanship and careful attention to details, and their line of half slips were very beautiful. Highly sought after by collectors now, Saramae’s half slips were layered in delicate lace, often with fancy embroidery and designs.

Since these half slips were so well made, and such elaborate detail went into their design, they can actually be worn as skirts today, which many vintage enthusiasts do. Saramae brand half slips can be found for sale on auction sites at varying prices (usually $30+), but be sure to check your local thrift stores as often times these slips simply get tossed out, due to the fact that most people who are trying to get rid of them often do not realize their value and simply view them as old lingerie to be discarded. They’re very, very rare to find so if you find one in Grandma’s closet, don’t throw it out!
The company was owned by the Lewis S. Kaufman family and was based on Madison Avenue in New York City. In the 1980s, the lines were designed by Bert Yelin, who was also the company’s president.
