I was starting to get worried about you, but I can breath again ...
A little peek to the derrière or an ouvert back I one should not frown upon.
Somehow I doubt much frowning goes on in this thread
BTW, Have I told you how much I liked that second image of yours up there in post #143?
I know it's an amalgam of 4 different lingerie labels as you mention, yet the styling makes me think old-school Vandevorst. Can you see it? .I can see it. And that keeps me coming back to it.
Speaking of AF VANDEVORST...
here's a somewhat uncommon image, shot by someone I admire quite a bit, Ronald Stoops:
Regarding Lillian Bassman, I do think her signature style is lovely, but on a visceral level I can't connect to her work (well, to her era, would be more fair to say).
My is stuck in the generation directly preceding hers – in the louche stylings of underground Paris's outcasts and their equally disreputable Weimar-era counterparts. Ha, what can I say. It's never not been that way. It comes from having worn and passionately collected clothes from the 1920s-30s for many, many years. It gets in the blood. And stays there.
I'll dig up an old pic and post it in the 'wwywyesterday' thread to give you an idea.
*Though I do think Betty sums it up best in this interpretive dance piece:

Wonderful imagery, Miss Interest
Those up-close from the 1920-30, some of the detailing in Belgian
lingerie maker Carine Gilson comes to mind. I do share
very much your interest in this period.

Good eye, Becoming-Intense.
Slightly stunned (but somehow not surprised) you knew of her!
Where lingerie is concerned, the buck seems to stop at Victoria's Secret with most guys.
(It unfortunately gets spent there, too.)
But yeah, her pieces definitely live in the 20's & 30s.
From what I know, she uses the best of the best, and you can tell from a mile away.
Chantilly you could actually die happy in:
cute & easy *the set, not the babe.
ditto.
What a great time in history for women's fashion, that was.
Fine materials were still used as the norm, and things were still detailed by imperfect hands.
Everything just had this sort of mischievous, slightly drunken air to it.
Or that could've been just me.
I'd collected hundreds of pieces and wore it like crazy for a straight decade. Sigh..
I'll post a pic I have of me in a floral dress (of all things, LOL) in 1995 to 'what were you
wearing yesterday'. It's kinda bananas, all things considered..
