A Suit Fit for a Femme Fatale

November 11, 2011

Here is my version of Vintage Vogue 2339.



    1. I am wearing a luleh strapless under this suit, found here: http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/luleh-shapewear-firm-control-camisole-liquid-lace-strapless-33418?ID=452798&CategoryID=37732#fn=sp%3D1%26spc%3D7%26ruleId%3D67%26slotId%3D6 It only has two bones, one on each side seam. And after being seated, the boning has a tendency to stick out at the hips, but with this outfit, it does not matter!

      I am always looking for better long-line bras. I find it very frustrating trying to find period correct shapewear these days. The pieces that are boned use cheap plastic that bends when it gets warm from body heat, and most of the stuff out there is just stretchy fabric which does not create the wasp-waist look. The waistband on my skirt has no extra ease which also helps to pull everything in.

      I know there are a couple of companies that create reproductions of vintage bras and girdles, but I would have to order them online and do not like the idea of guessing on sizes. Quite a few bloggers rave about http://www.whatkatiedid.us.com/
