Gone are the days when most brides were happy to walk down the aisle in a crisp white gown. These days they not only want their dress to be elegant but also sensual. Many are turning to a custom made wedding corset in exotic fabrics like velvet, satin and silk, that accentuates and flatters their curves giving them an ideal hourglass figure. Many bridal corsets are custom made and have to be ordered a few months before the wedding. But you can pick one from a wide variety of bridal corsets that are available online or in any lingerie shop.
The bride is not the only one who is wearing a corset in today's wedding. There are Victorian-theme weddings where the entire bridal party wears corsets. The look is stunning on bridesmaids and mothers of the bride and groom. For the modest, a shapely corset may be worn under a jacket. It will add a beautiful shape without showing how!
Some popular bridal corsets are the over busts that suit all kinds of figures.
They support the bust and elevate it. You may choose one that has under wired cups. For those who wish to display a flattering slim waistline (corsets can reduce the waist size by 2-7 inches). The under bust flattens the tummy and compliment the feminine form. The corset can usually be detached from the wedding skirt used for other special occasions.
There's nothing like a beautiful and sensuous corset to make you feel ?special' on all special occasions..

Lila Collection Spring 2004
Lila is a contemporary sportswear collection of stylish, well-cut pieces that bridge the gap between work and play. These are sturdy-chic clothes that stand on their own, but mix easily into modern wardrobes. For its second season, Lila, by designer Pamela Capone, builds on its growing reputation for masterful tailoring and luxe, but casual, fabrics. The spring collection adds a touch of whimsy--and feminine contours--to closely-cut basics like the twill trousers that earned accolades for fall. Contrasting with pants, pencil skirts and shrunken jackets in charcoal, olive and stone, colors like mint greens, baby blues and dusty pinks help interpret the line's three different spring moments: Surf fatale; Paris femme, and Hawaiian twist.
Lila's ode to surf and sun features cottons and natural fibers that define the collection as a whole.
Here the focus is on colorful batik prints worked into wearable sexy basics. The batik corset has boning to keep its shape; the baby doll...

Finding That Perfect Mini Skirt
Where do you find that perfect mini skirt that you can afford? Finding any article of clothing can be a challenge, especially if, like me, you need it at a reasonable price. It may seem like a mini skirt is one of those things you can just find anywhere, but believe me, that is not necessarily the case when it comes to finding one at a good price. I have found, though, that there are three places you should look before you make that final purchase. For that perfect and affordable mini skirt, check online, in a department store, and in the second hand store.
The first place to look for mini skirt would be on the internet. Many department stores and clothing retailers have websites that offer mini skirts for sale.
These sites often have special online only deals that can assist you in finding the price you are looking for. Be sure to go to a search engine and seek out mini skirts as well. There are sometimes...

Plaid Skirts
The old phrase 'Mad about Plaid' seems to sum up the fashion forecast for this upcoming season. It seems plaid skirts are here to stay. In fact, it is quite interesting to observe how plaid hovers lightly over emerging trends season after season without losing its identity. What is it about this perennial style that gives it such resilience? Most women chalk it up to its versatility. Plaid skirts can be dressed either up or down, making them a valuable wardrobe staple.
Plaid is a classic pattern with a wide scope for incessant variations. While hip clubbers choose to accessorize dark-hued plaid skirts with studded belts or lace-up stilettos, the preppy chick prefers to team flirty, pleated plaid skirts-often in vibrant combinations with sneakers or basic pumps, a pair of matching tights and perhaps a brightly colored Polo shirt. These patterned pieces call out for the season's winning hues-teal, purple, pink, electric blue, orange and moss green-most often mixed...
