The Coquette Waist Cincher has a high waist, front closure, and light shaping. The Coquette Open Bottom Girdle is 15 inches with a nylon lace front panel and circling bands for gentle shaping. The Jessica Garter Belt is a pull-on design made for comfort, and is only available in pink. Of course it’s never a good sight to have your backseams twisted around, so all of these have 6 straps for the superb security.

You can find all of these at the Secrets In Lace website (look under Shape Salon). Keep your eye on TLP, because in about a month we’ll be able to show you Secrets In Lace’s new holiday collection that will knock your socks (or stockings) off

The biggest change, however, may be the new color option! You can now buy your Vintage Dot RHT stockings in a versatile copper color, created by Secrets In Lace because of popular demand from you! Be sure to get your pair before the next wedding you attend this summer – what a perfect way to bring some interest to your outfit (and encourage glances at your gorgeous legs)!

As soon as the package arrived at my door, I raced to try on my new garter belt. I looked in the mirror, and was relieved and pleased to find that it didn’t feel big or utilitarian at all! I felt very glamorous and classic (and secretly, I decided that it looks even better on me than it does on the model). I wore it out the very next night with Secrets in Lace’s Signature RHT (reinforced heel and toe) nylon stockings. I was thrilled to find that the both the stockings and garter belt stood up to a full night of walking, sitting, and climbing on a bar’s arcade games (as glamorous as I felt, the kid in me still found it impossible to resist those games!). I was absolutely comfortable all night, and not once did I worry about anything slipping or being out of place. The garter belt has a five secure hook and eye closures, and three columns for adjustment (like your bras). The metal garter grips didn’t move a bit once I secured them, and were a snap to adjust. I loved the little details worked into this supportive garter belt, like the hold-down threads that keep the ribbons in place. Honestly, I cannot think of one thing I disliked about my Dominique garter belt! In fact, as soon as I’m done writing this article I’m going to order the Intrigue, which is made from the same pattern. I can’t have only one of these in my wardrobe!

I fell just as hard for the stockings I wore with the belt. The vintage-style 100% nylon stockings are silky smooth, sheer, and made my legs look amazing! The ones I wore were the Secrets In Lace Signature RHT stockings, which are produced on a circular loom (so there is no backseam). If you want even more retro glamour, you can try their fully fashioned stockings, which I discussed in a previous article. One consideration when wearing nylon stockings is to realize that there is no lycra or spandex. Nailing down your fit may be a bit trickier because of this, and sometimes a long night may cause the stockings to fit differently around the knees and ankles over the hours. But really, experimentation is half the fun and you gain so much from nylon’s sheerness. I kept stealing glances in mirrors all night and smoothing my skirt more than I had to, just so I could touch my stockings again!

There are coordinated bullet bras, slips, camisoles, silk thongs, tap pants, and wraps in the Dominique Collection. You can find these, as well as many other beautiful garter belts and stockings at SecretsInLace.com. If you have any questions that I didn’t answer, just ask me in the forums!

Secrets in Lace has been shipping their products around the world since 1995. Resisting requests from large retailers to sell their brand in stores, the company has continued to sell exclusively through their mail order catalog and website. Dita Von Teese herself is a customer, and chose the brand to create her line because she trusted the company’s knowledge and experience with full-fashioned stockings. In fact, Secrets in Lace has the largest selection of full-fashioned stockings in the world!

Secrets in Lace’s full-fashioned nylon stockings are manufactured on the same machines used in the 40’s and 50’s, and made in the same way – they are knit flat and sewn together with a backseam. The finishing hole and imprint found on the welt complete the glamorous stockings. Fans of sheer stockings will be thrilled to learn that Secrets in Lace also has the largest selection of finer denier stockings (10 denier and 7 denier). These are true fine deniers, too – they don’t try to win you over with “the appearance of fine denier” like some lesser stocking companies. Just to add to the list of exclusive products, Secrets in Lace also has the only true 10 denier fully fashioned stockings in the world. With a variety of heel styles and reinforcements, anyone can find exactly what she is looking for.

Of course, a world-famous stocking manufacturer would be amiss not to offer thigh highs, and they have recently introduced new lace top thigh highs, with one style being offered in seven sizes (because women are not one-size-fits-all)!

Trend setters will be happy to learn that Secrets in Lace has also been offering patterned stockings for over six years (pictured is the Vintage Dot print, which is their most popular print).

We’d love to hear from anyone who has experience with this brand in the forums – it has come up in conversation more than once. Secrets in Lace told me that several of their loyal customers brought The Lingerie Post to their attention, so I know you’re out there! Be on the lookout for future articles featuring the company. There is a lot more to tell!

“The Dita Full Fashion Stockings are made to the exacting standards of the 1950’s originals complete with her trademark logo imprint on the welt, a hand sewn backseam and finishing hole at the top of the welt.”

I have to say I’m very excited and intrigued by the idea of 1950’s replicas“ especially the hand sewn backseams! Anyone can find thigh-highs and pair them with a garter belt, but for the diehard fan of retro styles and rockabilly fashions, the Dita Von Teese collection is there to make sure your look is authentic! Garter belts are also available on the site to complete the set.
