you want $82 for what now?

[John at My Favorite Pinups{★}]

over the past couple of years I've been looking for a tap set (aka knickers, french panties, french knickers, etc etc etc) for my wife Anne

Back in the day they were available at Victoria's and Fredrick's but have fallen by the way side in favor of boyshorts

 

well I hit youtube and an ad came up that had a model in a tap set... so off I trot credit card at the ready....

 

yea they want $82 for just the bottoms and another $98 for a cami

I get that it's silk... but I can't see spending close to $200 for a set

Dang! I can see $82 for the set, but for just the bottoms.... they better be hella nice ass french silk or designer (yep, I'll pay more for the label). I'll keep an eye out for cheaper ones for ya.

They're a little more than half the $82 price tag.  $36 for a pair.

The last two are from Secrets in Lace which is a wonderful lingerie company based out of Virginia.  They offer period correct lingerie for a fairly decent price.  They also sell period correct hosiery.

Roxy: I'll pay for a label sometimes.. but so very rarely :)

Ellie: now that rocks

 

thank you

[Ellie Retrophilia]

No problem!  They sell camisoles to match too from further browsing.  I'm coveting quite a bit from the site myself.  Time to go hit up my husband for some pieces.  :)
