(Backup) Quaker(n) in my boots!

So I'm wondering around Newcastle with my friends and we stumble across a vintage shop called 'retro'. 

My friend lifts out a beautiful vintage nightie from the dress section and I instantly fall in love. 

I bought it and here it is. 

 

I absolutely had to have it! Look at the trim! Isn't it darling?! 

The colour really compliments my skin tone and the beautiful floral detail on the chest area is so womanly and twee. Each little stitch with so much attention to detail. It feels lovely on, and would be lovely and cool in the summer months!

I've been trying to research where it's from. The label states "Quaker Quality". I've rinsed google, and the only things I can find are the following: 

- Quaker Lace- this company would make table cloths in the 50s/60s and are still in high demand today. 
- The company stopped producing in 1987.
- The company must have made lingerie and robes in the 50s/60s as eBay has a few little gems on their. 

So from these facts, I believe I have found a 1950s/60s nighie!

Allow me to introduce myself... I'm Miss Whiskey Twist!  I'm a singer and burlesque performer based in Essex!  I've always been passionate about pin-up, burlesque and lingerie, I currently have a lot of free time and so I thought why not write about my favourite things? So here it is knickerbloggerstory my very own blog dedicated to lingerie!  So I'm going to start with Primark or Primarni as I like to dream! It's one of my favourite places for lingerie because it's so reasonable! So it may not be "lingerie" in the sense of our Victoria's Secret or Agent Provocateur but if you nail it you nail it! For example attatched is a picture of me in this cheeky little number! (Yes there'll be a lot of these!) I don't normally like wireless bras because I have DDs and I hate them bouncing about when I'm walking, but this one was really supportive! I got a medium up and a small on the bottom. I regret buying the small bottom though, it cut i...

Hi Alicia!

So..... playful promises... I've fallen in love with you and your teddies. Oh!    I purchased the emerald green Alicia teddy from you and my god I love it!  It's so bloody comfy man. When I openned it, I thought it was a little thongy at first, I'm not a big thing fan, but his just cupped my bum properly and hid my modesty just enough!  It clings you in at the waist and gives you a good shape. The back is thin straps leading to the bum bit. Beautiful. So sexy. So simple. (You can see the back on my insta!) The emerald green silk effect and black lace compliments itself so well, it threw me right back to the 20s/30s instantly and made me feel like a goddess.      It's beautiful. I believe that they do it in other colours. They also have an incredible Bettie Page collection, that I'm obviously eager to get my hands on!  You can get yours here!  Give me an Alicia ASAP

Agent Provocateur - The James Bond of Underwear

Agent Provocateur - The James Bond of Underwear Okay, so I'm comparing this to a fictional male character, I know, but it's the only agent I know, and it really is a hero underwear brand!  I bought the pair attached for my honeymoon and I've never once looked back. The detail is just impeccable, the comfort is unreal and my god do I feel sexy as fudge in them! Here's a little history on the global sensation.... In 1994, the first Agent Provocateur opened on Broadwick Street in London, and is argueably the most credible lingerie shop in the world. It's started with two people,  Joseph Corré and Serena Rees, deciding that they had enough of the idea that lingerie and sex was sleazy and smutty, and developing a world class environment where sexual experience and women feeling good were the single most important ideals.  " Our brand is confident, sensual and irreverent. We are known for our craftmanship, fit, our use of beautiful fabrics and our playfulness." ...
