Frantic About Frances - Grown Up Lingerie for Pin Ups

Gazing at Gilda

Frantic About Frances are a fabulous retro brand that specialise not just in recreating authentic pin up lingerie but in making it fun, quirky and unique. We loved their 'It Takes Allsorts' bullet bra from last season and the new collection is set to be just as popular with Toots & Booty.

Nifty, Thrifty and Under £50: Bullet Bras

Continuing our vintage lingerie trend from yesterday's "Guide to Vintage Lingerie", this weeks Thrifty post is focused on the staple of any vintage aficionado's lingerie collection. With vintage clothing cut to fit its shape and a fabulous history told by the projectile breasts of the best of Hollywood's classic starlets, the bullet bra is not only a gorgeous alternative to modern shapes. It is a statement and a whisper of a beautiful bygone era. And you can pick up your own for under £50!

Best of British - Frantic About Frances

Berry Delight Knickers & Bullet Bra

Writing these 'Best of British' posts has been a real eye-opener for me. I was always aware that there is a vast collection of lingerie brands here in the UK that are dedicated to making their products in Britain. However, I never anticipated that there would be quite this many. The wonderful thing is that 'Made in Britian' isn't just a buzz phrase for these brands. It's not just a selling point. So much care and attention goes into every aspect of each brand - whether that be the design, the sourcing of materials or even the social media to ensure an excellent point of contact for customers.
Moreover, the sheer variety and creativity is amazing. So far we've had elegant silk and lace knickers, fashion-forward kink and pretty panties defined by ethics - amongst others. And now we have pin-up.
