A selection from the archives of lingerie catalogs from the United States, France and German, circa 1920s to the 1960s. Above and below Priscilla Designs.

Unusual handmade catalog similar to Yva Richard catalogs of the late 1920s and offer for sale "custom made" fetish attire, including corsets, "belts", boots and more.

Beautiful deco styling for this circa 1925 catalog from the 

Parisian department store, Printemps.

 A slight detour from lingerie, this catalog offers items for body massage and features on the back cover, a device to "develop and firm" your breasts.

From Germany circa early 1960s, a small format catalog offering sexy Parisian inspired lingerie aimed at playtime in the boudoir. 

Rosy Dessous was one of the largest mail order catalog companies offering all types of sexy lingerie. Located in Pforzheim, Germany publishing frequent catalogs and updates similar to Frederick's of Hollywood in L.A.

Italian Lingerie Trade Publication: LINEA INTIMA 1966

Large format trade publication published in Italy, circa 1966, Linea Intima viewed today is an amazing period style book of women's lingerie and beach wear. Filled with full-page advertising cover to cover for one-piece foundations, bras, panties, stockings, girdles, corsets, slips, negligees, slips, bathing suits and beach wear. 

The change in style has shifted in the fours years that passed from the previous issue posted. On first glance the major change is the arrival of simpler "foundation" garments and the move away from one-piece "body shapers" to simpler girdles and panty girdles.

Part two. Unfortunately missing the scan of the cover which has temporarily gone missing.
