Cravings for colored lace, creamy silks, and smooth fabrics with rich prints are all met with Lena Hoschek’s extensive and detailed collections, of 1940s and 1950s inspired pieces. Dresses always seem to be a pin-up designers bread and butter, since they are in high demand among the vintage community. Lena Hoschek doesn’t just cater to the cries of her eccentric pin-up ladies, she spoils them rotten by going above and beyond.

Not only does she have amazing dress selections but Lena also creates skirts, blouses, knitwear, jackets, swimwear, shorts and pants, T-shirts (for men and women), sunglasses, and other accessories. A smorgasbord of vintage inspired treats for the dedicated collector.

Lena tends to stick with neutral elegant colors and classic designs, really capturing the true feel of the 1940s and 1950s with her choice of subtle prints and styles. Not only does Lena Hosheck capture the most beautiful moments of the past, she also capture the essence of femininity in her collections.

She isn’t all about being a perfect graceful lady, no woman is perfect. The female race has to learn to laugh at their flaws while still carrying on like a true vintage inspired vixen. Lena believes in laughter, having a good sense of humor, having fun, and laughing at obvious human and female flaws. Her collections also represent that radiant side of her. It’s seen through adorable polka dot prints and kissy lip patterns on the bathing suits. Just imagine the spunky pop star Katy Perry, she obviously found a friend in Lena Hoschek’s creations. Fun, feminine, vintage, timeless…Lena’s imagination and determination has created it all.

Pin Up Girl

Pin Up Girl

What does it take to become the perfect pin up girl? Some may say it takes sassy clothing that is inspired by the pin up, retro and rockabilly styles from the 1940s, 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, while others may say it’s all in the makeup. Bold red lips, sexy curls with lots of volume and cat-eye liner are other components of a pin up girl. Some may also say it’s in the personality, and that a true pin up girl always embodies a fun, fearless and exceptionally confident attitude.

While it may very well be all of these components that make up a pin up girl, it is incredibly important to look the part and wear just the right outfit that perfectly flatters your body. With the right look, you’ll feel confident and sassy, exuding the necessary confidence that a pin up girl always has on her. Fun and flirty sundresses for the beach, fitted pencil skirts, pedal pushers in bright colors, sky-high stiletto heels and bold accessories are just some of the necessities of the perfect pin up girl outfit.

If you’re looking to dress the pin up part but don’t want to spend hours looking through the thrift or vintage store, there are plenty of online boutiques that offer everything you need. Drama Queen Swimwear offers the perfect variety of pin up girl swimwear, perfect for a day of lounging on the beach, splashing in the waves or doing a pin up-inspired photoshoot out by the water.

Agent Provocateur

Agent Provocateur

Founded in 1994, Agent Provocateur is a British lingerie brand started by Joseph Corre, son of Vivienne Westwood, and Serena Rees. The first shop was opened in the Soho district of London, over time opening 30 stores in 13 countries around the world.

The store sells high-end lingerie filled with color and character, designs inspired by Corre’s tiresome attitude toward women always wearing boring, colorless and forgettable lingerie. After setting out to find some of the best lingerie in the world and ending their search in disappointment, Agent Provocateur was started as they realized it would be best to just start their own line.

As Agent Provocateur is known for selling some of the sexiest and most seductive lingerie in the world, it is no surprise why so many women are faithful shoppers of the brand for their most intimate pieces and undergarments. Bras, panties, knickers, corsets, girdles, pantyhose and swimsuits are all available in a variety of colors, styles and fabrics. Whether it’s leather and lace or some smooth silk and satin you’re after, you can find an abundance of all of it in this shop.

See through lace bras with push up padding are a popular item, giving women the added boost and sex appeal they lust after when wanting to look their sexiest. Knickers that barely leave anything to the imagination as well as full bottomed styles can be paired with the bras or a sexy corset. Ruffle bottoms, thongs and full briefs can all be accompanied by sexy suspenders that hold up a sexy pair of pantyhose.

Corsets can be worn with skirts as part of a sexy eveningwear outfit, over a shirt for a work appropriate outfit, or on their own with a pair of knickers and suspenders for full blown sex appeal and an explosively sexy lingerie look.

For something that can frequently be worn in public, check out their bathing suit and bikini section. Frequently inspired by retro, pin up and rockabilly styles, bathing suits are available in retro one piece styles or string bikini two piece styles that cover as much or as little as you want.

Modcloth Swimwear

Modcloth Swimwear

Modcloth was designed by two high-school sweethearts with a love and passion for everything vintage and retro. The modcloth swimwear line is no exception when it comes to their excellent quality and original items, all available in a variety of colors and sizes at affordable prices.

The swimwear line of Modcloth offers an extensive variety of swimsuit pieces, whether you’re looking to stay covered or bare as much as you can while staying within the limits of “appropriately covered.”

Some of the more common colors of Modcloth swimwear are red, white and blue, with a patriotic and nautical look used as inspiration for many pieces. Since the 1940′s, 1950′s and 1960′s were seriously patriotic times, the store keeps up with the theme to give the items a truly vintage feel. The “Beach Fireworks” collection of tops and bottoms includes high-waisted shorts, ruffles and cinched tops all in red, white and blue, for a nautical and American look. The “Merry Mariner” and “Pepperminty Fresh” suits bring stripes into the red, white and blue theme.

Polka dots are another popular style of suit available in the Modcloth swimwear selection. The “Dipping Dots” and “Beach Blanket Bingo” suits are both polka dotted styles, available in both one and two pieces as well as red, blue or black with white polka dots.

If you’re fuller figured, you may find it difficult to find a swimsuit that works with your body. Modcloth has a line of plus-sized swimwear for girls with a little extra curve. The beauty of retro, pin up and vintage styles is that they embrace women’s bodies in every aspect, whether they’re slim, athletic, curvy or bodacious. There are loads of plus-sized styles with shorts, folded down bottoms and halter tops to give you confidence in a swimsuit without worrying something will slip out. You’ll look smashing in the form-fitting styles, available in solid colors, plaids and polka dots.

Vintage Suits by Mary

Vintage suits by Mary is a fabulous U.S.-based online source for high quality, custom fitting swimsuits and playsuits that are a must-have item in any modern pin up girl or rockabilly gal’s wardrobe, and what they deliver is well worth the price.

They even offer a Cabana Boy set for men living the retro Tiki lifestyle.

As the mother of an athletic diver, Mary began custom-designing and sewing her daughter’s swimsuits instead of buying expensive and unattractive new swimwear for her every few months. Her suits were an instant hit and before too long she was sewing for the whole team so after decades working in the garment industry in swimwear she started Suits by Mary in 1998 and soon expanded it to include her Vintage line.

With a degree in design and patternmaking Mary knows very well how to create proper fit and form in her swimwear, and at Vintage Suits by Mary one can find more than just curvaceous swimsuits and playsuits: customers can cook and clean fashionably while wearing one of her vintage style aprons, while in the Vintage Deluxe a section Mary will work with you to custom-embellish a vintage or vintage-style suit you already own or to design an original burlesque costume exclusively for you. For glamour girls with $1500 to burn there is a smoking-hot Rhinestone Corset with over 40,000 Swarovski Crystals hand-sewn to cover every inch.

Most Vintage by Mary suits cost from $85 to $100 and are custom made-to-order and take approximately one month to arrive, but some vintage suits are in-stock and will ship immediately. Returns are not accepted, so it is important to carefully check the sizing chart before placing any order. Payment can be made through most major credit cards and PayPal; for international orders customers may contact Vintage Suits by Mary for sizing and shipping options.
