The Six Triple Eight 1940s Collection
The Six Triple Eight
When Tyler Perry's costume department came calling for authentic 1940s underwear, we knew our vintage-inspired pieces would be perfect for "The Six Triple Eight". This collection showcases the items chosen for the film alongside other historically accurate 1940s designs.
From Our Workroom to the Silver Screen
Our Champagne Cuban Heel Stockings, Glamour Girdles, and CC09 French Knickers were selected for their impeccable 1940s authenticity. The costume department even transformed our peach satin French knickers to brown for the dance sequences – a detail we learned from an excited film extra!
Historical Accuracy in Every Detail
The choice of our pale Champagne Cuban Heel Stockings reveals a fascinating historical detail: during WWII, the US Army only supplied light-coloured stockings, regardless of the servicewoman's skin tone. This kind of historical accuracy makes "The Six Triple Eight" not just entertainment, but a window into the past.
Beyond the Film
While we're proud of the pieces featured in "The Six Triple Eight", we understand that one shade doesn't suit all. That's why this collection includes our signature stockings in deeper tones, alongside other authentic 1940s designs. Every piece is crafted to meet our exacting vintage standards, from our period-correct sizing to historically accurate design details.
Behind Our Photo Shoot
Our commitment to authenticity extends beyond the garments themselves. The collection photoshoot features genuine 1940s artifacts from our private collection, carefully curated over years of research. Sharp-eyed viewers will spot a vintage Railway Poster, authentic military pack, and the ubiquitous gas mask box that every civilian carried during wartime, among other period pieces. Each item helps tell the story of 1940s life.
Each item in this collection represents our commitment to authentic vintage reproduction. Whether you're looking to recreate the wartime style of the Six Triple Eight or simply love 1940s fashion, these pieces offer both historical accuracy and modern comfort.
Watch for our pieces in "The Six Triple Eight" (in select theatres December 6th, streaming on Netflix from December 20th), and experience a piece of fashion history for yourself.
Our 1940s reproductions are ethically manufactured using premium modern fabrics, ensuring both authenticity and durability.
