Gowns that will make you faint.. Gasp...Drool...Desire!

I'm so excited to present this gorgeous ULTRA RARE FIND that is created and fashioned by Lucie Ann for Claire Sandra, Beverly Hills, exclusive CLAIRE SANDRA BOUTIQUE for FROST BROS (exclusive upper scale department store of Texas)! Absolutely my pick of a lifetime gown. COUTURE DESIGNER very rare find gown. Not another like it on the internet or eBay. Very OLD HOLLYWOOD Glamor Diva Goddess Gown. RED CARPET WORTHY. Still with ORIGINAL STORE TAGS that retailed for $105 in the 1960's.

Lucie Ann designed and created all of Eva Gabor's peignoir sets for Green Acres. Lucie Ann, also sold exclusively for Claire Sandra of Beverly Hills. Not only did she design exclusively for Eva Gabor, she catered to the likes of Elizabeth Taylor. This is such an exquisite find for your finer lingerie collection and a true vintage treasure to cherish for many years to come.

The color is what I describe as BLUE OVER LAVENDER creating a TWO TONE ILLUSION EFFECT (color may vary from monitor to monitor), and created in 100% nylon.

An exquisite and much desired beauty that is designed to close in front with beautiful long pom-pom ties and additional inner ties. The POM POM ties can be wrapped around the waist and tied in front and also simply cinched in front allowing the back to flow loosely, FOR THAT DRAMA DRAPING BACK that is so desired. Imagine OVER 35 FEET OF FLOWING CHIFFON, with creamy soft all nylon lining. I LOVE the way the bodice ties, and gathers for that utterly gorgeous GODDESS APPEARANCE. This is the epitome of GLAM OLD HOLLYWOOD GODDESS GOWNS.
Just YARDS AND YARDS of CHIFFON EXPLOSION! Some may ask, "Is this a nightgown? Is this a peignoir? Is this a dressing gown robe?" Well it's ALL of the above. I suppose technically it's a peignoir dressing gown robe, but because of the styling closures, this can be considered a negligee nightgown too.

So where can you find this exquisite masterpiece..why here only at Sweet Cherry Vintage Lingerie! Click Here: Lucie Ann Gown

Vintage Lingerie on Mad Men

Be sure to see all my VINTAGE LINGERIE, specializing in mid-century vintage pieces galore! Only at Sweet Cherry Vintage Lingerie.

I'm simply mad for Mad Men with the ever so yummy and delicious Don Draper and Roger Sterling, not to mention the beautiful women such as voluptuous secretary Joan, the frumpy and dowdy, Peggy Olson, and the sweet and not so innocent Betty Draper. But what I really want to talk about is the lingerie...what else?

Are the principles wearing period vintage lingerie the same even when they’re not going to get undressed on camera? But of course! I recently learned they (the actresses) always wear true, period/era vintage lingerie. Seriously, the vintage foundations for the ladies are really why I think so many people have been so attracted to the costume design of the show. Not only does it help the vintage clothing/garments they are wearing look better but it also helps the actresses walk the way they’re supposed to walk! *giggles*. It’s about transporting the actresses into an era and for the audience to be transported as well.

I would think it's a challenge for the sex scenes, sort of figuring out, like, Okay how is this garment going to open? What are we going to see? Are we going to see the slip? Are we going to see the girdle? Are we going to see the garters? You know, just seeing all of the layers.. HOW EXCITING! I always love that. You TOO can get this look by visiting my eBay store only at SWEET CHERRY VINTAGE LINGERIE!

Olga Vintage Nightgown, and a BRIEF history of the Olga Lingerie Company

Yep, another shameless self promotion, but wanted to show off this gorgeous MASSIVE FULL SWEEPING OLGA negligee. Ever wondered who really is OLGA? As some of her tags say, "Behind Every Olga there really is an Olga". Here at Sweet Cherry Vintage, I offer you exquisite vintage Olga gowns and undergarments.

It is hard to believe that the Olga Company, one of the most sought after brands in vintage (and modern) lingerie, began with a measly $10 in the forties and reached volume sales of $67 million. Well the Olga behind Olga made it happen with her incredible undergarment designs and dedication to making women feel ultra feminine and beautiful.

Olga Erteszek, designer and founder of the Olga Company, left her native Krakow, Poland and immigrated to California with her husband, Jan Erteszek, in 1939. Jan was a lawyer who found work in sales after coming to the US and Olga, whose mother was a corsetière, worked in a factory making brassieres and girdles.

Now let's not forget that during World War II, sacrifices were made. Lingerie companies were assisting in the production of parachutes for the army and fabrics were rationed. When Olga saw a woman with hosiery rolled to her knees one day on a trolley, she told her husband that women should at least have something to hold up their stockings, even with the sacrifices being made during the was. With Jan's support and encouragement, she rented a sewing machine for $5 and spent another $5 on material and sewed a dozen lace-trimmed garter belts. A buyer for Bullocks-Wilshire department store bought the garter belts, and the Olga Company began. By 1950, the company was fully established in the lingerie industry.

In the early years Olga was directing seventeen designers, making fashionable lingerie that enhanced, shaped, and smoothed a women's body. Jan was the head of marketing and sales in the Olga Company, and had Olga appear in the company's advertisements as early as 1952.

From 1964 to 1978 she was featured in advertisements with a slogan that said, "Behind Every Olga There Really Is An Olga." This tag line can also be found on the labels of nightgowns, including the 1960's Sleeping Pretty collection.

In 1967, Olga Company became a publicly owned corporation with a value of $67 million. The Olga Company was one of the first companies to offer it's employees profit sharing. They made the Fortune 500 list of best 100 companies to work for.

In 1984, Olga Company was sold to Warnaco (Warner's, etc.) for $28 million.

Olga Erteszek held the women's record for patents. Her designs included the built-in bra nightgown, the seamless bra, the massaging bra, and tummy flattening panties. Jan and Olga were honored for their community and humanitarian work and in 1985 they received the California Industrialist Of The Year award for life time achievement.

Jan Erteszek died in 1986. In 1979, at age 73, Olga dies of breast cancer. One of their daughters, Christina Johnson, is currently the design director at Warnaco for Olga's Christina, a sporty line of lingerie, which was originally trademarked by Olga Company in 1981.
