I am just back in the office after spending a whole week living in a remote converted church in the very far north of England. We had some fun with the cameras and various vintage lingerie creations in an historic setting. Once we got over the 'spookiness' factor (actually all…

This week saw me photographing two adorable 1950's vintage all lace petticoats that I didn't know I had. Neither uses elastic at the waist and instead uses either a button or zipper fastening. I am assuming one would wear these in conjunction with something in the form of another petticoat…
