The finely detailed beauty of this Fruit of the Loom miniature mannequin blows me away. They were often modelled after Hollywood starlets. Do you think she looks most like Myrna Roy or another famous actress of the 1930-40s? #hollywoodstarlet #famousactress #miniaturemannequin #shopdisplay #advertisingdisplay #mannequin #exquisitebeauty #1930s #1940s #1930sfashion #1940sfashion #fruitoftheloom #vintagelingerie #vintage #lingerie #myrnaroy

#happydays celebrate with #sunny #french #antiquecorset #1900s

And we can’t forget sweet Bella she dances, sits pretty, hops, crawls and even plays dead! Such a smart #chihuahua #chihuahuasofinstagram

Here she is, my very first #antiquecorset in #scarletred wool #1860 moth eaten, baleen bones poking out, busk patched. A perfect study piece and so rare to find in a colour! I was so curious to know what it felt like to wear a #victoriancorset I made a reproduction! This corset blossomed into @laceembrace . I found this beauty back in 1997 for a whole $65! It was found on a classified ad listing online, before scanners and digital cameras, the seller had to mail me a photo! Makes me sound ancient!!! #timetravel

Happy Halloween from Siyah, my constant companion. #catsofinstagram #blackcatsofinstagram #blackcats

Beautiful #antiquecorset advertising photograph for #pdcorsets wonder if they doctored the image to slim her hips? #1910scorset

Sweet Kioo Bear watching me working away on our new website. I’d rather be creating or admiring antique corsets & lingerie. It shall be my reward for work well done!

I don’t approve of wearing or even trying on an antique corset. The silk is so fragile, it could shatter and be destroyed. This photo is from a 1980’s playboy.

Love it when @laceembrace and my #antiquecorset collection merges! These #French #corsetpatterns are part of a #bespoke commission. #happyplace can’t wait to get started! #historicalcorset #costumemaker

#Spanish #eugeniademontijo the last #duchess of #france #vintage #lingeriebox wonderful graphics!

#bettyboop #stockings very rare and unusual! Excited to find 3 boxes filled with 3 shades of #hosiery #1930s

Ohhh how I would love to have #silk #antiquecorset in all colours of the rainbow! These two are #sister #corsets #patented #1879 #darkcherry #heliotrope and a stunning #electricpurple #1890s
