Unless you have been living on a planet for the last few months then you will know that corsets are the latest lingerie range, whether you wear them as under or outer wear. There is a wide range available on the market but you need to know before you purchase, that any cheap corset is not going to look good and will end up in the back of your wardrobe.
A corset needs to be properly made by a corset maker in order to achieve the desired shape that you are hampering after. Always check with the lingerie salesperson who the designer is. My top two designers for corsets are Madame Sher and Agent Provocateur however do be sure to shop around as there are designers that take the business of corsets very seriously.
Another handy tip is to be sure that the corset is appropriate for the occasion. Wearing a black and red llingerie up corset to your new nephews christening will probable find you banned from family get together’s for ever. Corsets really are for evening wear down a busy club or rocking bar. Check out this video for some hints and tips on how to buy the best corset on the market.
Well only if he is a West ham supporter anyway. Fancy lingerie took on a new dimension when Westham football club announced that they were to release a special edition basque in the clubs colours of claret and blue. The inspiration for this was Kate Perry wearing the original design for her boyfriend Russell Brand at the MTV awards. At £300 each, personally I can think of cheaper ways to delight my man and if I was to spend that amount on fancy lingerie then my choice would of course have to be Victoria’s secret. Sorry for being a killjoy!
A fancy corset is definitely the must have item to have in your underwear drawer and all designers are picking up on the retro look for their winter collections giving you that sexy, feminine feel.What ever your budget is, you will definitely find a fancy corset but we have picked out our two favorites retro looks for you.
Our favorite has to be the Amelie corset ( above )designed by Maya Hason and sold by La Magia. It combines lace and imitation pearls in a girly look but the highlight of this fancy corset is the black satin lace up feature at the back of the corset. Unfortunately not a bargain of a price at £195.00 but we get the feeling that you are paying for the amount of time and work that has gone into this design. Read more…
Without a doubt the queen of fancy lingerie is Madonna. Her habit of showing off her underwear in public has seen us subjected to every style of fine lingerie possible.
Most of her costumes have been basques, the question we have to ask however is wearing your basque in public tacky? Well of course it is but Madonna is a celebrity so she can get away with it.
Basques are refined pieces of fancy lingerie, mainly used to tempt and delight your man. Whilst they may not be the most comfortable piece of fancy lingerie they will always be the queen when it comes to what they can do for a woman’s body. They present her womanly curves and display her in such a feminine, sophisticated and elegant way.
Madonna has ruined this with her tacky, gold, crotchless basques that get pulled out every time she wants to relive her touring days.
Hopefully now she is getting older Madonna will hang up her basque forever and let it’s reputation return to being the creme de la creme of fancy lingerie.
