Vintage Satin Lingerie
From LoveToKnow Lingerie
If you just can’t get enough of all things retro, you’ll probably love vintage satin lingerie. You can lounge around in real vintage wear and feel like a movie star.
Finding Vintage Satin Lingerie
There are quite a few vintage websites around that proudly stock garments and accessories from bygone eras. You can also shop at your local consignment stores to see if they carry vintage items. Online retailers to look into for your lingerie needs with a retro feel include:
Pink Girl Vintage Lingerie
Think of a lingerie garment and chances are, you’ll find a real vintage offering at Pink Girl Vintage Lingerie. There is a large selection of:
- Bras
- Camisoles
- Girdles
- Teddies
- Stockings
- Bed jackets
- Pajamas
and more at Pink Girl. There are luxurious satin pieces as well, but because these are vintage items, what you see is what you get. Once it’s gone, it’s gone, so if you see something you really love and it seems to be your size, you may want to snap it up right away. Examples of the type of satin lingerie you may find here include:
- 1940-1950s era bed jacket: You can sit back on comfortable pillows and play the role of a starlet in a sumptuous nightgown and bed jacket like this. It will not only keep the chill off your shoulders, but add elegance to your at-home ensemble.
- Slips: There are quite a few slips here and not surprisingly, some are already marked sold. Still, it’s worth it to keep checking back to see if something “new” comes in that’s perfect for you. Full and half slips are available. Full slips are sometimes so carefully crafted that they can be worn as nightgowns or even super sexy sundresses.

Vintage Points to Remember
If you’re new to shopping for vintage items, keep in mind some key points to make sure you get what you expect, especially if you shop online:
- Size: While some retailers will list vintage sizes as small, medium, large and extra-large, many will also list measurement sizes, which is more important. You’ll need to measure yourself to get the most accurate gauge of whether a vintage piece will fit you. Often, what’s “small” today was “medium” 50 years ago.
- Condition: Pay close attention to the described condition: like new, good, fair, small stains, etc. While some vintage items are in excellent condition because they were never even worn, others may have slight imperfections so you’ll need to be aware of anything that makes a garment less than perfect before you buy.
Retro Twists
People who love retro have different reasons for loving it, but whatever makes you passionate for vintage, make sure you know what you’re buying so that there’s no disappointment when the lingerie arrives. Once you receive your vintage wear, you can play Jean Harlow, Marlene Dietrich or Marilyn Monroe if you like. One thing’s for sure, you’ll be one stylish bedroom diva.
