Hi all,
Thank you all for the kind words.
I posted my beginnings story under that category long ago
http://crossdressers-forum.com/forums/v ... .php?t=140
I don't think I have any genuine vintage 50's lingerie, but I have picked up some items which are I think at least close approximations. I don't know the age of the slips that my wife and I share besides several that I bought new. We inherited all of my late mother's clothing but the only things I would consider really old are several dresses that she made herself.
I try to get the most enjoyment out of what I already have and what I can get within a relatively low price range.
I have a few longline bras, all front hook and all are white except for one black one. My bustier collection is 2 pretty ones with removable straps, one white satin print with removable garters, the other red satin with black lace trim. My bra drawer also includes a variety of regular bandeau bras, some underwire (my preference for holding up my rice in nylons fake boobs) and some soft cup that are hand me downs from my loving wife (I bought her her favorite style of Bali in every color).
When it comes to hosiery, I'm a garter girl - no vintage stockings, but enough Hanes sandalfoot and National RHT to last a week or two

.
How do I keep my stockings up? My first good garter garment was a black 4 garter Rago waist cincher. My pull on open bottom girdles include 4 garter Crownette stretch lace stylee in black and beige and a white Cortland Foundations 6 garter model. I also have a white 4 garter Crownette garter belt, plain white Cortland Foundations front lacing corset with 6 garters (no pretty trim or satin, but it sure makes me sit up straight

) and my newest aquisition, a white 6 garter Rago open bottom body briefer.
I have a long torso, so besides the Rago model with removable garters, I have several boned waist cinchers, one Cupid from Walmart and 4 from Kmart (2 separate buy one get one half price sales). I also have 4 short waisted control panties.
Besides a couple of dozen slips (most of them my wife's, but she shares willingly) to choose from, I have 2 petticoats - one a white Malco modes 22 inch style 580 chiffon, the other a 26 inch black net petticoat I bought online from Petticoat Pond. I think that just a hint of lace peeking out from the hem of a skirt is cute and sexy.
My panty (and slip) drawer is quite full - the most of one brand Hanes/Just My Size satin French cut briefs and nylon high cut briefs that my wife bought herself from a Sears sale and didn't like the fit (they fit me fine). My collection includes various Vassarette, Vanity Fair, Rene Rofe, Lane Bryant satin panties, and some other nylon ones in a variety of colors.
Marda,
Are you still glad you asked?
Tonight, I'm wearing a Vasarette dark brown floral print satin chemise nightgown that has double spaghetti straps. My white petticoat is a little too long to go with the hemise, but I love the lace and couldn't resist pouffing it out. My Hanes sandalfoot stockings are little color. My gold pumps harmonize nicely with the colors of the floral print of the chemise.
Underneath, my white satin bustier has the straps removed tonight (poufbunny Jadeanne in 50's mode frowns on having visible bra straps) but the 4 garters are on duty. The bustier is a little too large for my skinny unpadded hips/derriere, so a pair of white control panties is helping keep things neat and a Cupid boned waist cincher is helping keep the control panties from rolling down (yes, sometimes Jadeanne likes to layer her foundation garments). Underneath all of this is a beautiful pair of red satin panties.
Well, it's now time to head for the bedroom, remove everything and put the nightgown back on.
What are you wearing?
