1950s nylon panties?

Hi all! This is my recent find, found in Los Gatos CA. They are sheer nylon peachy pink panties. They have ruffles and bows, a high cut leg and a french label (Rasurel Modele Depose)that I never heard of,
anyone ever heard of it? Do you think these are from the 50s? I think the label looks old.

 

So no opinions about these panties? What makes some vintage panties more desirable than others? I have seen a pair Vanity Fair briefs with lace inserts (but really nothing that special) go for almost $300 on Ebay. I am just trying g to figure out why they are worth that much?

 

Were they worn by Marilyn Monroe? Lol

I can't help on the knickers, sorry. Cute though!

 

Yeah exactly. It does not make any sense to me.

 

1950s to early 1960s, French and frilly. Depose' is simply like the word "patent" is in English. People, usually male, buy odd lingerie usually because they have a certain childhood memory for them. 'Nuff said there.

 

Thanks for the info. They are bigger a size 41. I know a lot of people buy them as a fetish item, some panties go for a ridiculous price, some for nothing and they are similar in style. I will research them more and find the right keywords.

 

I think ladies who c0llect and wear original vintage often pass over on panties/ bars, maybe it's because of sizing, not been a matching set, or maybe they feel strange wearing vintage panties, I imagine it's is a market which can be very unpredictable ( I did have a better word to describe my thoughts but it sound odd in respect of the garment we talking about).

 

You learn something everyday! Who knew I was so naive? And I even worked in a lingerie shop at one time.

 

Okay, I am finding this discussion fascinating, but excuse my ignorance..is the market you are talking about for 'drag'/transgendered/transvest?

 

The thing is a lot of men who buy such items are in the "closet", so standing in a queue at a check holding someting is way too embarrassing if spotted by some one from work or a family member/friend, shopping on line and using the credit card Ok it would show up on the statement and the other half might ask question if she does not already know, so using ebay or similar and pay pal allows them to have a private and discrete purchasing and payment system, and they can rely upon the seller to be more discrete than a lot.

 

ah.....I was thinking Television/Compact Disc....hadn't thought about the customs forms, although I hesitated just the other day putting 'bra' on the form....what is a private listing?

 

aha

 

Maybe I am not the same as every one else becuse I never search using key words like CD or TV and iwill always avoid any thing marked as such.
I am also on record in other place as saying that I do take offence when any one calls me a cd or TV becuse I feel it's very discriminating term.
it's in my opinion like referring to a person size or looks.

I not sure if others feel the same wayas i do becuse for almost the same reason as Ruth say I am not that interested in what others do or want to.

 

I been on several photography forums over the last few year and no matter what topic I posted about some one always managed to have a dig and put in the "C " word (cross dressers) unbelivable you do not get that around the two vintage forums any where else it's worse than a red rag to a bull.
