What is your favorite lingerie or bra boutique? My favorite place to shop is Secrets in Lace and is based out of Virginia. Their whole line of products is very well put together and are very durable. Although I no longer live in the south, I go to their store when I visit my family, which is at least once a year. I always get remeasured and stock up on panty/bra/garter belt combos, corsets and I also indulge myself in their European cut stockings (they're delicious!). They are soooo comfortable and sexy in my opinion. Their line of clothing reminds me of the Burlesque period (late 18th century to 1950's) I guess this is one of my real taboos because most of my friends enjoy the newer types of lingerie and sexy undergarments---I do as well, especially if I'm wearing pants/jeans of any sort, or when I'm at my house just lounging around. However, I am a big wearer of dresses and I find the bra/panty/garter combination underneath my clothes to be seemless and feel that it completes my outfit, even if others can't see it. I'm really excited about their new Dita Von Teese collection. It's a little more risque but holds true to the burlesque style of feminine wear.

Antique undergarments are very erotic/elegant IMO and my husband loves to see me getting dressed on the mornings that I choose to wear a dress. You can check out the Secrets in Lace website at www dot secretsoflace dot com. I thought I'd share this little fetish of mine with you guys, since I was in the process of placing an order from them. Do any of you have an interest in antique/vintage style lingerie/clothing? Does your significant other find your choice of vintage style clothing sexy or enticing? Feel free to share what you like and what's your favorite place to find your specialty items.

Yea, they have a wide variety for just about everyone, so they certainly don't discriminate. I ordered tons of stuff today and I can't wait to receive my orders. Dita is perty (haha). I like seeing her model the burlesque lingerie, very alluring.

Too uptight sometimes! I had a real tough time getting her to wear sexy underwear. She was in her late 30's before she owned something other than a white bra. Nylons are like impossible to get her to wear. She has great legs to! I guess thats why web site's and the pinup girls are so fun for me, only way I get to see them!

Glad you liked the site, bronco. Why don't you try finding out your wife's bra/panty/garter size and ordering her a set. She'll probably be so touched by the gesture that she'll want to try everything on. Who knows? It's worth a try.

That's not a bad conclusion that you've come to, bronco. Not bad at all. *smiles*
