Old Hollywood-Inspired Lingerie

By Cathy McClellan

Think of Marilyn Monroe, or Raquel Welch. Many more Hollywood starlets advertised lingerie in their heyday. In those days, the lingerie was not as revealing as it is today. However, it left a lot to the imagination, which made it even sexier. A look at some of the old Hollywood styles will give the reader a good definition of glamour.

Old Hollywood Lingerie is making a comeback in the form of several pieces that combine old world style with modern day comfort. The best of both worlds combined: comfort and glamour. A look at just a few pieces making a comeback is:

Bustier
A bra with a form fitting shape added meant to slim the figure. Today's styles are not as restrictive and much more comfortable to wear.

Baby Doll Gown
It is a hip-length gown, with matching panties. This style usually has a bra shaped top and is made from thin see-through material. This leaves much to the imagination, without vulgarity. This style is excellent for any size.

Bra and Panty Set
Bra and panties made from sheer mesh with satin bows and lacy edging are certain to invoke elegance along with sexy by the person wearing it. A partner will find enjoyment as well by letting the imagination wander.

Chemise
It is a timeless treasure throughout the ages. The simple elegance of the chemise, along with satin and lace make it a popular item among women. This style can be worn under clothes, to bed or even lounging around the house.

Styles are making a comeback to the old Hollywood lingerie style. Women like to feel special as well as sexy and the best way to do that is to trade in the old, worn out pajamas in the drawer with a new look. Mystery, sensuality and glamour are the future for lingerie.
