What could be more enticing than saucy recycled and vintage handmade lingerie inspired by Vaudeville, Parisian Can-Can, burlesque and cabaret? Under the Root creates stunning sustainable lingerie sets and accessories from light, airy fabrics like jersey knit and cotton voile. The materials used to create these textile confections are recycled, reclaimed and repurposed. These Under the Root designs are so pretty and flattering, you might be tempted to become an exhibitionist just to show them off.
Under the Root designs are available in sizes XS-XL and can even be custom-made to your measurements. Colors range from soothing pale hues to vibrant, sassy brights. And the prices are extremely reasonable for such beautiful hand-crafted goods!

Makes you long for warm weather, doesn’t it? This is lingerie for impromptu backyard photo shoots, frolicking in the grass. Way too cute to stay hidden. Perhaps they should start designing swimwear!
Check out the full selection at the Under the Root Etsy store.
it all seems a bit badly constructed to me. I prefer sandmaiden (also on etsy). http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5160446

Wow, I love it!!! I’m a huge fan of lingerie and vintage is the only way to go. for one, it’s eco friendly and 2 they just don’t make them the way they should be made anymore.

From a man’s point of view I think the look of these is too industrial, not quite sensual enough. A little too Soviet farm girl.
I walked into a Gilly Hicks store yesterday at the Palisades Mall in Rockland County, thinking it was a Hollister… They both look totally alike from the outside, this make-beleive Key West exterior.
I was greeted by a couple of puzzled teenage girls trying to tell me something I couldn’t hear over the loud speaker… I walked towards a table with all these nude men photography books and starting thinking what did I just walk into.
I looked all around me, at all these cubicles, low light, all women’s things… fake breast cups, undies… and realized maybe this wasn’t Hollister after all, but it’s new sister store. News to me.
Why can’t they do something that classy with sustainable lines… maybe they are… but I didn’t stay to ask which lines were up to eco-chick standards… I think I’ll leave that to one of your bloggers.
