Their garments are made using lush, covetable fabrics, and create great shapes, and provide excellent structure for wearing as much, or as little, as you want over the already beautiful garments. I’m not a fan of the debate about what constitutes a ‘real’ woman, as it seems ridiculous to label some women more ‘real’ than others, but I do love that Secrets in Lace use women who are a little bit larger than your typical catwalk babe, as well as a little bit older than the teenagers modeling the bulk of contemporary fashion. My immediate thoughts on their collections are that it’s amazingly refreshing to see a label, particularly a lingerie label, using (for want of a better phrase!) ‘real women’ to model their garments. It’s sponsored by specialist vintage hoisery & lingerie brand Secrets in Lace, whose beautiful range has been developed true to the era. London Burlesque Week, beyond the performance alone, is also a great showcase for the fashion of the burlesque era. From speakeasy styled bars to the new-found populism of retro food to vintage beauty parlours and specialist vintage fashion lines, nostalgia is big business. Spurred on in a large part by television shows like Mad Men and Boardwalk Empire, vintage has reached fever pitch here in London. I’d never had cause to go to a salon that specialised in vintage makeup and hair, and it got me thinking about a piece I wrote on the resurgence of vintage & 50s fashion awhile back. Remember.Only last week my sister & I visited a specialist vintage beauty parlour, The Powder Room, on Columbia Road in Shoreditch, for vintage up-dos for a party we were going to later that evening. We invite you to share in this incredible feeling and expression of femininity. Only they know what lays beneath their classically elegant attire.their "Secrets In Lace". For many Secrets In Lace has become a life style, our garments are worn by the worlds most famous and influential people. We are often called on by stylists around the world to provide authentic vintage lingerie and stockings for movies, television shows and stage performances. Our penchant for Vintage detail has lead us to become the exclusive designers of the Bettie Page Lingerie Collection from 2009 - 2014 and Dita Von Teese Stocking Collection. Designed for everyday wear (just like in the 1960's), Secrets in Lace carries classic styles and unlike lingerie that’s strictly for fantasy, the Salons at Secrets In Lace have comfortable Faux Vintage Lingerie for every possible occasion that captures a feminine, classic look. Our daywear slips, camisoles and tap pants are also authentic to the 1960's. Our preeminent position as the leader in fine vintage nylon stockings has led us to develop coordinating Retro Chic foundations Garter Belts, Girdles, Bullet Bras, Shelf Bras and Plunge Bras that are based on patterns from garments developed in the 1960's that we sold in our stores in the 1980's. We own and operate two of the remaining vintage stocking factories where we design and manufacturer the Secrets In Lace Brand. Today we are the largest retailer in the world of 100% nylon stockings with over 40 exclusive styles to our credit. Since then our mail order catalogue and website have been making history worldwide at. Our concept was a success and we quickly grew to four stores in the Washington DC Area before launching our mail order operation in 1995. We never changed what we sold because the fit and styling made our customers look and feel great. In our first store we sold classic foundations and authentic nylon stockings which today are popular as Retro or Vintage lingerie. We started SECRETS IN LACE ® in Northern Virginia in 1984 with the simple concept in mind of "Keeping the Romance Alive" through the sale of classically elegant lingerie.
