Lacy & Racy: Lingerie & Boudoir Wear of The 1920's & 30's

Join social historian and vintage clothing collector Inger Sheil as we take a peek behind the dressing screen at frilly French knickers, sensible union suits, teddy “bares,” slinky bias-cut nightgowns and robes, the dainty whimsy of stylish déshabillée and the bold, colourful styles of Art Deco lounging pyjamas.
