Advertisements from the 1950's and 60's for petticoats, corsetry, hosiery, and lingerie. If you do have any please email or send them to us. We will be adding to this page soon with old petticoat and lingerie adverts. As some of the images are large the page may take a while to load - please be patient.        

                       What are they advertising? This is part of a four page spread from 1962. the other three pages are at the bottom of this page. Have a guess..........

The bottom right text reads: BRI-NYLON Coloursets by Charnos and American Dreamform "Iced Peppermint" in Bri-Nylon - the most delectable colour ever - making coollysophisticated go-togethers by Charnos and American Dreamform. Never before such frosty freshness - such a gorgeous new-minted colour! And it's here for you now - in the loveliest co-ordinates you've ever seen! Real retro advertising! Two phrases stand out - coollysophisticated - all one word, and frosty freshness!

	From the vintage advert above - "The cost...far less than you imagine."

The text for this advert is shown right, 39/11 for the slip - expensive for the time. We love the wording "It's the greatest thing since Eve wore leaves"!
