A 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.

This 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.

Retro skivvies in silk: longline bras, bloomers and tie-side panties, babydoll nighties and slips, romper teddies, kimono robes, in a mainly cream and pastel palette with a few splashes of berry and black. Some of the lines also carry on into matching satin-tied cuffs, ruffled garters and lacy little eyemasks.

A lingerie catalog that not only carries everything from balconette to nursing bras, but features a “search by bra problem” section that offers possible solutions to painful underwires, falling out of a bra, and the Quad Boob Effect. Also matching panties, bathing suits, shapewear, and various support-for-a-low-neckline accessories.

This catalog touts itself as “the positive place for girls” while offering loads of short, tight, ‘n shiny – and some everyday basics, too. Floral batwing one-shoulder minidresses, sweater tunics and ruffled cardigans, leggings with all kinds of crazy prints/patterns/laces all over them, teeny little miniskirts, bikinis and one-pieces, and the beautifying extends into clip-in locks of hair, wigs, and Nyx cosmetics. Candy-striped spike heels and faux-suede scrunch booties can be found in the shoe section, and the accessories include fedoras, tiaras, cinch belts, fringy knit scarves, and gigantic bags for slogging around glamorously during the day.

A banquet of retro lingerie, loaded with girdles and garters and bullet bras from Pour Moi, Stockings and Romance, Vollers, What Katie Did, Gossard, Rosy, Kiss Me Deadly, and Playful Promises. The hosiery sports wide lace tops and Cuban heels, the cocktail sparklies are provided by Rukhsana, and there are crystal bra straps if this all just isn’t enough oomph.
