Don't you just love that we live in such a world which is so liberated that if we walked down the street in a transperant white top with only a small lace black bra underneath we would probably be whisled at and adored instead of being locked up (unless you were overly large and raped the eyes of innocent bystanders). Ah, the wonders of the modern world.The great thing about the old world of vintage is; our grandmothers all wore these beautiful, intricate lacy under garments however social taboos dating right up until women's liberation in the sixties meant no one but their lucky husbands could see these beautiful materials in all their glory. THANK GOD times have changed and everyone can pretty much walk around in corsets and bloomers without a worry.
I for one, love this trend and will be sporting as many corsets, stay ups and lace ensembles as I can before people realise it's quite unflattering for the majority of the general public.
