The 1950s pin-up returns to haunt lingerie drawers in 2011. The underwear is still very chic and sensual, but this year, retro is in, and curves are embraced! Here comes the high-waisted panties, the bustier, the corset, and the bullet bra. Everything to become a true Dita Von Teese. Glamour.
In 2011, lingerie fashion demands in loud voices the return of the pin-up, glamorous, voluptuous, and sexy from the 50s. Back then, curves were embraced, and in 2011 too. Plump thighs, generous busts, and well-rounded derrières are celebrated.
But let’s not forget the imperative of this very special fashion: always having a slim waist, which can be achieved in different ways:
Forget thongs and tangas, this year high-waisted panties are in style. Known for ensuring a flat stomach, they have nothing to do with those hideous granny panties, everything is redesigned with sensuality and glamour. Added to these are corsets and bustiers, the very symbols of the pin-up. All these 50s undergarments are adorned with retro transparent lace, ribbons, and laces…
Designers have delved back into history and revisited the “must-haves” of the pin-up look for a modern and ultra-feminine result.
To adorn generous busts, the original “bullet bra” is making a comeback. With a pointed shape, it adds an ever-sexier touch, reminiscent of the fashion antics of a certain Madonna.
For smaller busts, the focus is still on the push-up, the goal is to enhance the neckline. This year we embrace everything.
For a total pin-up look à la Dita Von Teese, ladies, add to this a scarlet lipstick, smoky eyes crafted with eyeliner, tall black 12 cm heels, and a retro-chic dress, and you are transported back to 1956.
