Stunning Meermaid Dress!

As i like vintage Dresses i get me a new one, and for less than 400L i was very sceptic first if it will look nice. But after get it dressed! Its looking stunning. That type of Mermaid Dress is normally worn in the 1950s or the early 60s. Some famous filmstars like Marily Monroe also like that type - but i have some special fetish on that, you should see the underwear :)

Started when i read some interesting story at staylace.com called 10 Pound per Inch.

That dress is from Bliss Couture - they also have a lot another nice gowns!

First one is a early 60s wiggle dress from Vita Bella Vintage Fashion   - yes indeed there is some similarty to the famous dresses from Joan Holloways Dresses out of Mad Men. The dress is called Holly Wiggle Dress, and slo available in Navy, Violet and Red. Pric 299 L$.

 This black dress, which makes everybody slim :), comes from a new discovery: Agnes Finney--My Precious - which has a lot of more stunning creations. The dress itself is black nothing, best work without any underware. Around 700 Lindens and called Annette.

 Agnes Eileen ist the name of this knee lengt dress also from Agnes Finney also around 700 Lindens. As mentioned in that shop you will find a lot of more creations, i had to TP away quickly not to get bankrupt in short time.

Last but not least a nice late 40s, earlies 50s, tight skirt from Ivalde called Roberta for 300L$. I like a especially the hat with the little neat net in front, that and thats not self-evident matches perfectly...

The Edna Pirtle Sanatorium

As you may read i spent my time in my second life currently mostly, but not all time, in some vintage enviorement. The place i have for that is half public place, called Vintage Sanatorium. Recently i changed the name slightly into Edna Pirtle Sanatorium...

And here is some little background story of this place in SL:


Not a lot is know about what is really happening inside the walls
of the Edna Pirtle Sanatorium. We are somewhere between the mid
1930s and and early 1960s. Girls that become 18 or may a bit older,
sent there by there parents, when the normal finishing school
is not successfull. And there are also stories of older wifes, that
were sent by there partners to the place, maybe because the partner
thinks that there is some lack of lady like behaviour. Some roumours
exist also that in some rare cases even boys were sent to the
place, but thats surely a legend.

When you ask the headmistress the most common answer is, we are
edcuating even the most hoplesscase of a young lady to a perfect
behaving, styled and educated one. We never give up.

There are some stories, that surely legends that inside the walls
a regime of strict discpline asures the success the sanatorium
has in there treatment...

50s dressing for Christine

Today some pictures from some vintage, retro inspired dresses we get for Christine (yes sometimes she forgets her implants). First one is a waitress dress from QRQUIDEA called Cute Cookie Skirt, perfect dress to be a bit naughty at the grill and in the Diner. (Prince 450L$) Combined here with some 6inch Heels from VvB, maybe a bit high for a working Waitress, but she has to know in the evening what she has done. Hair comes from MrS** Hair.

One of the best places to get vintage dresses from several decades, and mentionend here already on this Blog is IVALDE. This colorfull petticoat dress, ideal a daily dress for the well-groomed houswife is called Katinka Pink Dress. Price: 350L$, also available in 5 other basic colours. Shoes from N-Core called Femme in White.

This creation comes also from Ivalde: Jessamine Dress, yellow, for 350L$. also nice for the vintage housewife, but surely to good looking for only staying at home.

You may ask what she wears under the dress? Of course some kind of foundatian garnment, from Tiny's Lingerie Shop, called Ada Set. Which consists out of a highwaist panty girdle, a well controlling Bra, and some nice Nylon Stockings. Price for the complete set: 335L$.

More for the sunday, or perfect for the secretary to go out is this more tight combination again from Ivalde called Roberta in White and Black, with a neat hat that matches also quite good on the hair (which is often an issue with hat's), and a neat net in front of the hat. Stunning dress for 300L$.

But there is more in life than only beeing a good housewife, a busy secretary, or other things that happen. Something for the beach is the  Jeanette bikini (150L$) from Artilleri. Also available in 7 other colours.

Back to the 20s?

I was never so much addicted to the style of the 20s. May sounds strange ... it was a time of female freedom, and the first time after long years where woman have some liberty to do what they like. Of course also only a few. And the picture of that time we all have is mostly not right, because it was besides of a few years ruled by financial crisisies we even dont imagine today, besides all that minor things that happens in the last years...

But however the 1920s were a time that was outstanding, even you dont like the fashion, it was free from a lot of restrictions that were existing before, and especially later...

So thats a good reason to join us in your best 1920s dress on the July 6th at 6AM PDT at Victorian Discipline for some time of fun in a unrestricted atmosphere (maybe only short)

A bit more on the history of unmentionables

I do a bit of more research on the history of underwear today. And i found this short but interesting artictle that gives an overview of the history of unmentionables in the 1950s and 1960s. Read it here...

What i learned also is that the pantyhose is an invention of the late 1950s but was brought to the market in the 1960s. So Ladys of the 50's only girdles, garter-belts and stockings are allowed.

Wikepedia knows about this topic:

<sup>In 1953, Allen Gant, Sr., of Glen Raven Knitting Mills developed a commercial equivalent to these hose that he named "Panti-Legs", but these were not brought to the open market until about 1959. During this time, Ernest G. Rice invented his own design for pantyhose (similar to those worn today), and in 1956 he submitted a patent titled "Combination Stockings and Panty".This design was adopted by other makers, and this caused disputes in American courts for many years before the patent was upheld some time after Rice's own death.

Up until this time, there was little reason for women outside of show business to wear "panty hose". However, during the 1960s, improved textile manufacturing processes made them cheaper, spandex (or elastane) made them more comfortable, and the miniskirt made them a necessity to many women. In 1970, American sales of pantyhose exceeded stockings for the first time, and it has remained this way ever since then.</sup>

 Here is the complete entry.
