Found inside the garment

Frederick's of Hollywood

Frederick's of Hollywood helped bring dramatic lingerie, lounge pieces, and body-conscious glamour into the American mail-order wardrobe. Vintage examples are best understood through their fabric, construction, and label design rather than one isolated tag detail.

What to look for

Compare typography, country-of-origin wording, fiber content, and care instructions with the garment's construction. Earlier pieces may use delicate nylon, lace, marabou, or metal closures that deserve careful storage.
