It's been a very long time since I updated this thread.

A large collection of Maidenform ads.

More Maidenform ads (HQ).

My vote for the best underwear ad campaign ever.

Thanks

Fango

what a great thread! Takes me back to being a kid of 12-13 and finding a SEARS catalog and sneaking it into my room to take care of my business. The good old days of not having porn handy 24//7... gotta find the dirty pics where ever you could find em right?

I have to agree with you, Fango. Here's some more from the Maidenform collection.

More Maidenform.

That's the last of them. There's so many, it's hard to keep track. If anyone has maidenform ads that I missed, please feel free to post them.

Spoke too soon. Here's a few more.

Back To The Good Old Days
 

You've launched me back to my childhood...thumbing through my mother's catalogs and Cosmopolitans looking for just these sorts of photos. I remember the first Victoria's Secret catalogs I ever saw, back before they air brushed out the nipples and pubic hair- I was in love with their model, Jill Goodacre. Thanks for the thread and a return to the innocent pleasures of many years ago.

I am looking for a better resolution pic of the "Hanes Explains" ad.

It is one of my all time favorite ads ever since i saw it as a teen in one of my mom's woman's magizines.

If anyone has a better pic..please post

ENF themed poses-the best kind.

More rear shots.

Thanks -always grabbed the Sears catalog when it came just to see the pages of panties and such - question - does anyone know of a link to pictures taken Prior to editing, airbrushing, neating up for publication ? We've all seen that hair pokes through, shadows emerge, nipples pop....but you never see that in your sunday circular ! there must be some access someplace to these beautiful models in their skivvies just as you'd see them in your bedroom. ?Thx

Earlier this week, having connection problems, I went old school and dug out an old box of paper (!); I have, as it turns out, lots of old ads, including underwear ones, though my interest was a little more specialized than seen here, viz. ones that showed glimpses or more of the delights beneath the fabric. I just scanned one as a test, and could do more if there's interest - most are French or British, with some later American versions...let me know.

...and, now, still fiddling with picture size and characteristics but not yet thrilled by the results, here's an example of my preferred Maidenform campaign!

Sounds like you have a treasure trove of great old material there. Let's see what you got. :)

Thanks

Let me be the first to second that.

Underwear ad.

Well then, a couple of questions, given my lack of expertise and good equipment. What size is big enough but not so big as to compromise quality via pixellation? As you may observe, these are pretty byte-intensive; can that be fixed without too much image degradation? How best to tweak the file to bring out what I clipped them for in the first place - being able to see what's not quite concealed? I'm using an HP Photosmart 2610, sizing them down with the HP Image Zone software, and playing with contrast etc. using MS Office Picture Manager, just so you know what an antediluvian you're dealing with...

Underwear ads.

Underwear ads (slips).

Look who's wearing Jockey, ad campaign, from the 1980's. These ads gave the name, profession, and a clothed photo of the woman, at her job. There were a lot of these ads. Does anyone have more?

Let 'em know you're Jockey, ad campaign from the 1990's. Very similar to the; Look who's wearing Jockey, campaign of the previous decade. These ads featured real women, not models, in their underwear. In my opinion, this was Jockey's best ad campaign. There were quite a few of these, too (print, and television appearances). If anyone has more, please feel free to post them.

Goodness knows why, with the reception of the previous posts resembling nothing so much as a lead balloon (3 posts with combined thanks equivalent to 2/3 my average for 1, no response to my queries), but I'll give it another try. Here another underwear one, as well as an example to illustrate a last question: given that among the detritus of my paraphilia are examples of other voy delights of that far-off time, namely ads for other goods (apparel not undies, as here; watches and other jewellery; perfumes, sun- and other skin-care products; body therapy from spas to plastic surgeons; etc.), and magazine copy for many of the above, as well as general fashion-related see-though and nudity, is there any more appropriate venue here for that sort of thing?

There's not a specific thread dedicated to that sort of thing, but oddball/one-off photos tend to end up in the ENF Posters thread. Of course, what you're describing, probably wouldn't really fit there. Why not just start a new thread for what you have?

That see-through bra ad was something I distinctly remember from one of the ladies/glamour magazines I "borrowed" from female relatives as a teenager - I couldn't believe they actually ran ads showing girls in see-through stuff. Thanks for this.

Warners had a very sexy ad for their thank goodness it fits campaign. This gorgeous short haired blond in white bra and jeans, and the jeans were unbuttoned top button showing her sexy belly button. This was back in the mid 80's and the top of the ad said I didn't even have to try on the bra in the store. God I loved that ad, wish I had a copy of it to upload in here.

Also thanks for this thread, let's keep it going.

Here's a little trip down memory lane.

Some more see-throughs.

You're probably thinking of Playtex. I'm pretty sure they ran the; Thank goodness it fits, campaign. I don't have that exact ad, but here's a few that are similar.
