Lovely retro and vintage lingerie
I not only like vintage (inspired) fashion, but also retro lingerie! You now might think about huge romance killer underpants. I, however, think of lovely garter belts, sexy bullet bras and glamorous fully fashioned stockings. There are still some lovely shops and brands out there that are selling wonderful retro and vintage inspired lingerie. Some lingerie pieces are very authentic, others only have some retro elements. What I wear underneath always depends on the occasion. For a dinner date, photo shooting or a night out, for example, I usually choose something more fancy. In everyday life, I rather wear something comfortable and subtle. In the following, I am going to tell you where to find lovely retro and vintage lingerie, from affortable to luxurious. I divided this blogpost into two categories: Online shops that offer vintage inspired lingerie from different brands, and brands that mainly sell their own designs.
Online Shops for retro and vintage Lingerie
Ars Vivendi: Shop for vintage inspired Lingerie
The German shop Ars Vivendi* offers a great range of authentic retro lingerie as well as fully fashioned nylons. They have brands like What Katie Did, Lee Kleimann, Bettie Page Lingerie and many more in stock.
True vintage Lingerie on Etsy
If you are searching for true vintage lingerie, I recommend to have a look on Etsy*. I even own a few true vintage lingerie pieces, I only wear the petticoats and sometimes a garter belt, though. The bras and panties are only for my collection to look at.

Vintage and Retro Lingerie Brands
Modern retro Lingerie by Agent Provocateur
Agent Provocateur* offers some extraordinary beautiful lingerie pieces. Especially the corsets*, some of their garter belts* as well as the nylons* remind me of the lingerie from the mid-century. Due to new fabrics and adjusted designs, though, they are very wearable nowadays.

Retro inspired Lingerie: Atelier Bordelle
Atelier Bordelle creates some very seductive and luxurious lingerie pieces. Athough the designs are somehow quite modern, they also have some vintage elements. Especially the corset dresses* optically remind of the shapewear worn in the 1950s, they just have some modern and very sexy looking straps. The bras look great as well and are definitely too beautiful to be hidden underneath your garments. So I would wear them underneath a sheer blouse or top. You will find Alterlier Bordelle also on Farfetch* or LuisaViaRoma*, for example.

Fifi Chachnil is a French couture fashion and lingerie brand that offers some very pretty vintage inspired couture designs.
