Mademoiselle Fred retro pinup bustierA small but sweet line of pinup lingerie dipping heavily into yesteryear glamour. Bras and bustiers of black satin, panties that peekaboo in the back, wide garter belts to anchor the look firmly in the mid century, lots of stuff suited to the vampiness of 50’s fetish, but broken up with lighthearted sprinklings of polka dots.

Yes Style rose print leggingsThis site gathers together a bunch of brands and designers across Asia and presents an enormous catalog – 293 pages of dresses, at this writing – with worldwide shipping. It’s the standard casuals-and-partywear stuff of the trendy modern wardrobe, but a patient perusal reveals the distinctive splashes of lolita style shining through in flowery leggings, tiered miniskirts, ruffled bloomer shorts, satin-bowed blouses, double-breasted coats, lacy capelets, and general pastel sweetness. There are also sections for swimwear and intimates, plus sizes, maternity, and accessories.
