RARE FUN FIND! 1940’S – EARLY 1950’S WWII POST-WAR PUMPS
Very basic, faux suede – which leads me to think that they might have been made during wartime. Perhaps they were just an economical brand of everyday shoe. 2″ Cuban heels – couldn’t be more practical – just right for Lucy or Ethel in the day of an average 1950’s housewife, or classic rockabilly style.
Love these old standard brand names – “Vitality Shoes”. Certainly put a spring in my step when I found them! . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . .

ANOTHER FABULOUS FIND – NYLON STOCKINGS WITH SEAMS!
ANOTHER FABULOUS FIND – NYLON STOCKINGS WITH SEAMS!
For some woman, before the popularity of pantyhose, these nylons would have paired nicely with the panty-girdle I showed a couple of days ago. They could be from a few years earlier, too.
These beige beauties are a real keepsake. I love the look of stockings with seams, but will probably never wear this pair. They’re too precious!
Imagine when keeping your seams straight throughout the day was another thing to have on your mind! Well, you wouldn’t have had to check email . .. . . . . . . . …

A TRUE VINTAGE 1950’S – 1960’S PANTYGIRDLE WITH GARTERS
So, here you go – with the bullet bra shown yesterday, this is what you need beneath your sweater and pencil skirt. Because, ladies, a firm foundation is mandatory.
Without it you’d look just, well, . . . . . . . . sloppy, to put it nicely. Of course, I say this with a smile but that was very much the standard of the time.
Watch old movies from about 1960 to see how it’s supposed to look. And, after all, you do need a garment to support your stockings. Stay tuned . . . . . . . . . ..

UNUSUAL FIND!!! YES, IT’S A TRUE VINTAGE STRAPLESS BULLET BRA
UNUSUAL FIND!!! YES, IT’S A TRUE VINTAGE STRAPLESS BULLET BRA
One of the most bizarre silhouettes in fashion was the “bullet bra”, which made women’s breasts look like torpedoes under their sweaters. Quite unnatural-looking and strange, but it was definitely the thing for a while.
It’s hard to ID in this photo and it’s not right for Madge to model, but the surest way to recognize these brassieres is from the pointy shape of their cups. Also, the construction of older bras is characteristic, too. Maybe it will suit Stella better . .. . . .
1950’s and early 1960’s bras often have heavier elastic and lots of stitching on the cups, with a more definite shape, even if they aren’t of this particular style. A “foundation garment” really was that – like building a brick house.
Thank goodness, now we prefer more subtly-tailored lingerie, physical strength and fitness to give us the body shape we prefer. But, many ’50’s and early ’60’s garments require a firm girdle and bra underneath to support their characteristic lines – looks great and its FUN!!
