Longline 50’s shaper by Rago. Rago does legit vintage-style shapewear. I love the baby-blue, the pointy bra shape (without being too exaggerated) and the same goes for the overall shape and degree of cinching in the waist. There’s no hooks, buckles or wires and this is a really good hold for a true vintage shape, but far more comfortable than this sort of stuff usually is. Great for going under dresses and even though there’s no bottom with it, it’s kinda tight enough to freeball. Naughty edge to your nice retro dress… 7/10

There’s Marilyn in that white strapless swimsuit once again. This time in a studio shot.

The hat is a giveaway. He’s probably a US or possibly British Navy Lieutenant in the Full Dress Uniform of 1852. In 1863, the gold cuff trim was narrowed from 3/4” to 1/4”. According to the regulations Commanders had 2 stripes and Captains had 3.  Hope that helps. Correction: the loop above the cuff trim is unique to the Royal Navy. -Oldstyles

This nineteenth century photograph of an unidentified soldier belongs to the costume and textile library at the museum I work in. No one knows who he is, what his uniform represents, or where the photo came from. But I love him. And he has a sword.

This Vintage style strapless circle-stitched overwire midline bra has over 22,000 (yes, thousand) notes. Not bad for a 60 year old design.

It looks to me like the military cap issued to troops during the US-Mexican War (1846-48) with a rain cover. Notice the horizontal seam above the chin strap. Rubber was a new invention at the time and one of the first, and most popular, uses was rubberized cotton in raincoats and rain hats.
