Can we start with Dior? OMG, want this whole collection, but check it out! Hello, John you stole my vintage 40's tap pants idea! I love these paired with the delicate boustier blouse, I totally need to get the balls to wear my tap pants as outerwear.
You can get great vintage styles like these from a number of places:
My next favorite look from the Dior show was the following:
Now this look is a little risqué for every day but without the sheerness you could totally wear this. Perhaps in a silk crepe... Lyell does a cute one for Urban Outfitters in a similar style:
Fletcher by Lyell for Urban Outfitters Silk JumperThe other show where lingerie inspiration featured prominently was the Dolce and Gabbana show. There was a mix of really masculine pieces with the really feminine lingerie-inspired pieces that I think worked well.
I think the trick to this look is layering of various lingerie pieces so that its not too sheer. Layer several slips over each other with varying lengths so that you create tiers. Mix lace and satin materials so that you can see the satin through the lace, etc. Ideas of some layering pieces:
Vintage Black Lace Lingerie
Sexy 50s Burlesque Black/Red Lace Lingerie Top Slip
Vintage Black Lace slip dress
Vintage Nude Satin Slip/Nightgown
As long as it doesn't get too cold this winter I am going to try to incorporate some of my vintage lingerie pieces into my regular wardrobe somehow. Otherwise no one will ever get to see them but me!

I love the lingerie-ish rompers that are happening now. I bought a really cool peach silk dress this summer and I can't really figure out where I'm going to wear it (it's floor length with spaghetti straps, so it basically looks like a nightgown - it probably is is a nightgown). But now I'm thinking it might be fun to alter it into a romper!
I also have been known in the past to wear corsets as shirts. It's a big crowd-pleaser.
Oh, and I LOVE those tap pants. I wish I had the legs to wear shit like that out, but uh...no.
I enjoyed reading your blog! Xmas gift- Moncler Tulsa Shiny Black Coat, do you like it? So warmer !
Tap panties are perhaps the most practical sleep wear ever and an be worn with everything from a chemise to a long night gown. They are modest yet they provide full access without removing them for sexual relations. No binding lower elastics and generous leg openings. Some pairs have slits that run near to the waist line for even more generous leg openings.
What can I say, these pictures are breathtaking.Your outfits are lovely! When I saw this, I thought that you might like these women's outerwear
