Exploring the Corset - Day 1

I am proclaiming November as “Plus Size Corset” month at http://www.plussizebrasandpanties.blogspot.com/ .
Corsets are fascinating! I love the photos of them through history and at present. I always enjoy admiring  the beauty and workmanship involved in a corset. It is a transforming garment that never stops amusing me.

Corsets seem to be grabbing my attention even more than usual so I am going to run with it even though I have done many corset posts in the past.

Exploring the Corset

---

For 30 days I will explore a wide variety of corsets and images. Prepare to get your fill. 
Let’s start our corset journey by admiring this photo by Horst.



This is an iconic corset image. In black and white it shows the form of a woman in a corset. She appears to be a modern woman yet dressing in the historic garment. I find this photo to have a slightly sad appeal to it. The woman looks a bit melancholy, not rushing to be anywhere, just enjoying her quiet time alone.

This Mainbocher corset photo was taken in Vogue’s Paris studio in 1939.

The photographs of  Horst are famous for expressing an era.  Horst was a German born American fashion photographer who began working for Vogue in 1930 as a young artist. He went on to photograph the rich, famous and fashion elite!

For 3 decades he photographed the collections of Coco Chanel and fondly called her “the queen of all things.”

Horst’s work remains popular today. He was a wonderful, productive artist up until his death at 93.

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween from Brenda.

Just recently I was deep in conversation about Halloween of the past. We were trying to remember what we, as kids and our pals had dressed as. As our memories flooded back we laughed and compared notes. There was not much variety.  Cowboys/girls, indians, ghosts, gypsies, doctors, hobos, robots and clowns. The common theme was “homemade” .

When I saw this picture I immediately recalled the smell of those plastic masks. How hot and sweaty they became and how you could hardly walk because you could not see!….or breathe!

What a great line up.

Casper the friendly ghost
 Devil
 Bozo the clown
 Snoopy
 Princess
and my favorite – Planet of the apes


Now that is a blast from the past.

Have a great, spooky day and don’t eat too many treats. I already

had to run out and buy a new bag myself, I don’t know where they go…….

Red Lace Plus Size Panty–2 styles

Introducing Tatiana in RED!


Gorgeous scarlet lace highlighted in the last rays of autumn.

I adore lace on lingerie. Nothing gives a feminine touch like lace. Tatiana shows their expertise by placing it with great care just where it can flatter most exquisitely.

A high quality lace is soft to wear and highlights the design. Tatiana brand lingerie is produced in Europe using high quality fabrics and old fashioned workmanship. Both panties are made from a nylon and spandex blend lycra. Comfortable to wear and easy care.

Two options in red panties.  Maria and Valentina.

Maria high cut panty:

Large wedges of lace create a slimming style with full coverage.  Two delicate red bows sit on the lace at the waistband. It is the little details that make these beautiful.










Valentina Panty:

Although this style is also a full panty it is a 3/4 high hip panty. Valentina has a slightly lower cut leg and strips of lace in a v shape on the front panel. The scalloped edge of the lace embellishes the center front. The same two tiny bows adorn the scallops at the waistband. 


Two panty styles. Slightly different yet both charming.
