I wonder if by spiral cups they mean Trapunto stitching or more of a bullet bra shape? I’m not sure by looking at the photo.

SIL Royal Court Over Bust Corset
|
For Valentine’s Day, I love this Royal Court Over Bust Corset for many reasons. Inspired from the Victorian era, its perfect shape fits and flatters all body types. It is accented with black vertical piecing for a sexy slimming effect. Also, it is constructed and designed in usual SIL elegance so you can comfortably wear it out as a top as well as wear it indoors.
Velda Lauder Amethyst Satin Swarovski Crystal Curved CorsetThis season’s corset trend is getting hotter than ever, as we await the forthcoming launch of Burlesque the Movie, due to reach cinemas mid-December. The Daily Express commented on the huge new Burlesque production’s sassy corset costumes and lavish outfits worn by an all star cast of Christina Aguilera and Cher.
“By all accounts British designer Velda Lauder is the woman to see if you want to be shaped and laced, for Burlesque the film celebrates the style she has made famous by dressing stage and screen stars, most notably America’s burlesque queen Dita Von Teese. Velda also creates couture pieces for Karl Lagerfeld and Swarovski-jewelled lingerie catwalk shows in America.”

For the wilder, more daring lady why not choose a stylish and unique corset which is specially made just for them. Corsets are popular, and give women a great hourglass shape. Select her corset from WKD’s best selling ‘Showgirl‘ collection below. They have a huge selection of vintage inspired corsets!
For a first choice, this overbust corset from What Katie Did is ideal. This pink! raw silk corset is designed to fit women who wear up to an E bra cup.
This classic style curve corset, as worn by Dita Von Teese is made with a combination of luxurious black satin and gray suiting fabric. The front has a concealed busk and a satin bow, which ties around the waist to add style to any outfit.
A very sexy red satin Vollers corset with a slightly wider hip, making it ideal for tighter lacing to achieve an hourglass look. All Vollers corsets are front fastening – Choose from 11 different colors! (Pictured in Cherry Red Satin)
Just like its namesake, this corset is guaranteed to make you feel like a Queen! Made in rich black satin with beautifully intricate pleating around the bustline and bottom, the shape is highly reminiscent of its 18th Century ancestors, but with much more up-to-date comfort and construction.
Instead of a completely flat front, WKD added a gentle curve to support the breasts better. The bustline has pointed sides, and the overall result is a beautiful balconette effect that remains supportive and uplifting. The goring at the hips ensures that even newer corset-wearers can achieve a really substantial waist reduction; but experienced corset addicts will often find they can wear a smaller size than usual, making this Showgirl a real show-stopper!
WKD designed the Antoinette to fit a B-E cup, but A-cup ladies have also had a great result.

So you wanna dress like a military style pin-up this Halloween?
Then keep an eye on my blog, because each week I’m going to show you some excellent pin-up girl style outfits and costumes to wear this Halloween!
Lingerie retailer Be Cheeky got inspired by Vintage Lingerie and have added a new (and still growing!) section on their website for Vintage inspired lingerie.
From their blog:
Corsets and basques are becoming big news again as the UK looks to past times for “comfort”. Fashion commentators believe that as we are pulling out of the hard times a recession brings, its common to look back at times gone by for emotional security. With the huge rise in Vintage fashion being so apparent this year, we’re not at all surprised to see sales of corsets and basques begin to fly.
Anyone visiting Vintage at Goodwood this year (it was AMAZING!) will have seen all the 50′s beauties in their stunning swimsuits posing for photos and floral dresses up to their elbows in cup cakes and vintage tea pots. I’ll post some of our photos below… There are also a number of films with the starring female ribboned into beautiful figure enhancing corsets – like Megan Fox in her new film for example.

We were surprised – but delighted – however, to see corsets cross over into the furniture industry. Look what we clocked today whilst flicking through a copy of the V&A Magazine.
To check out our Corsets section for our fabulous Corsets and Basques and our small but growing Vintage Lingerie section and look our for our soon-to-launch British Boutique range.
I fell in love with this Ooh La La Longline bra by Gossard. The Ooh La La collection is inspired by Gossard’s own super-sassy 1940′s “ooh la la” collection, this risqué range embraces true, timeless glamour and over 100 years experience of making you look great.
A dash of Parisian perfection playfully tips its hat to our heritage whilst encapsulating the latest cutting-edge fashion trends.
Check out the rest of the Vintage Inspired Lingerie section on the website.
