As Marilyn Monroe so aptly demonstrated in “The Seven Year Itch,” an ill-placed subway grate or a stiff breeze can unintentionally transform your intimate apparel into a star attraction. It is inevitable that one day, when you least expect it, your run-of-the-mill walk down the street will turn into a wardrobe malfunction. The question is, what do you want the world to see?
Take inspiration from vintage beauties like Marilyn and select classic styles that are both feminine and functional. These five vintage-inspired designs from Yumdrop Lingerie will help you keep it classy and maintain your modesty in style.
Don’t let the name fool you, this isn’t your grandma’s girdle. This garment will smooth out your curves and provide support and coverage without compromising style. The set is constructed from gorgeous stretch lace and the bra includes underwire cups for additional support. The top and bottom are trimmed with black satin bows for an ultra-feminine touch. The bra’s hook-and-eye closure back is thicker than a normal bra, which provides additional smoothing under clothing. In this vintage stunner, you’ll give Dita Von Teese a run for her money.
A bustier can be a wonderful way to enhance your assets and smooth out lumps and bumps. This bustier from is the rare combination of form and function; It's both a support garment and an incredibly sexy piece of lingerie. The smooth nylon construction will suck you in in all the right places and will disappear underneath clothing. The black color is particularly sexy yet can go under anything. When it comes time to disrobe, you're left with a scintillating piece that will make you feel so confident.
3) Satin Strap Cami and Boyshorts Set
This classic look doubles as both a modest, yet sexy undergarment or as a pretty sleep ensemble. The camisole comes in stretch lace and offers more coverage in the mid-section than an average bra. You can show off your sweet cami by letting the lace peek out from under a sweater or cardigan. Boyshorts have become as ubiquitous as the standard bikini cut. Women love that they offer more coverage than other cuts, while the lace design ensures a girly look.
Sure, you may feel a bit like Little Bo Peep the first time you try them on, but these flirty ruffle panties will make you look incredibly feminine. These frilly under things come in a variety of colors ranging from basic white to lilac. They are also available in a variety of sizes (including plus sizes) and the cut of this style ensures the maximum amount of coverage. This cute panty is topped off with a rear-facing satin bow for the ultimate in ladylike charm.
5) Bikini Bra Set with Tiered Lace Bustle
This beautiful bra and panty set is a 360-degree treat. In front, the set appears very traditional, featuring sheer mesh and lace-trimmed panties and a supportive, black lace underwire bra. But this set is as pretty going as is it coming with a stunning black lace bustle attached to the panty. The bustle is large enough that it provides additional rear coverage, but small enough to wear under a skirt or dress without being cumbersome.
