Why wear a bridal corset




While the days of pure whites for the wedding night that implied a bride’s virginal purity have (mostly) passed, wearing white for your wedding day (and night) is still common. Because of this, there’s an impressive array of white lingerie to complement the bridal outfit available for purchase online.

What’s the purpose of a bridal corset?

Bridal corsets or bustiers help support the bust and smooth the torso when you’re dressed in your bridal gown, but they can also be worn for your spouse’s eyes on the wedding night. Bridal corsets or bustiers are usually quite plain and unembellished, since they act as an undergarment, but a white corset or bustier used as lingerie will often have much more embellishments. These can include rhinestones, lace appliques or sheer panels that will add visual interest.

While it’s not hard to find a white corset that you can wear on your wedding day, maybe modern brides are opting not to wear white at all. If this is the case for you, you’ll be pleased to discover that the options for non-white corsets are pretty varied.

A whole new spectrum of colors is becoming popular in traditional weddings. While still pale and pleasant, these new colors allow an injection of personality to an event that can sometimes be whitewashed (excuse the pun.) Shades of gray, blush, periwinkle, mauve and buttercup are all surprisingly popular in otherwise very traditional weddings.

Those who are opting to go untraditional are using even more dramatic and vibrant colors, such as burgundy, black, gold and turquoise. These rich colors make for striking events and allow brides to be quite creative with their bridal undergarments.

Whether you wear all white or deepest black or somewhere in between, your wedding day is your own and it’s important to feel comfortable. Using a good quality corset, whether as an undergarment or as lingerie, will help give you more confidence when walking down the aisle. Read More....

Melasma Skin Disorder Removal

Melasma skin disorder causes brown and gray- brown patches on the face, mostly around the cheeks, forehead, on the bridge of the nose, above one's upper lip, and on the chin. Other parts of the body where it is common include the neck and the forearms. The primary cause of the disorder is ultraviolet rays from the sun that affect the cells that control pigmentation. The most shared and natural way of Melasma removal is sun protection, by application of sunscreens and wearing wide-brimmed hats whenever one is outside in the sun.

What makes a Corset Steampunk?

The phrase “if you call it steampunk, it is steampunk” is something we’re firmly in favor of. Steampunk is a very individualistic expression of creativity and fantasy and we don’t think anyone should be in a position to tell you how you should express your creativity. That aside, there are certain elements and items that embrace the traditional concepts of steampunk with a little more verve and vigor.  Corsets fall right in line with the Victorian era steampunk aesthetic. Corsets were at their height of popularity in the Victorian age, which is where steampunk draws its inspiration. So a corset of any type is a pretty safe steampunk bet.

Getting sexy with it: why dressing sexy doesn’t make you any less steampunk

We’ve all seen the backlash some women get for wearing a racy steampunk costume : people try to call them out for “faking” or not being “steampunk enough” (whatever that means), but we don’t buy that.  Embracing your sexy side doesn’t stop your from being steampunk.  Time and again, people reiterate that steampunk has no real rules, just a set of loose guidelines. So if dressing sexy is what you enjoy, then don’t let anyone say it’s not steampunk. To start with, being racy with your steampunk outfit doesn’t mean you’re limited to burlesque characters or ladies of the night. Sexy adventurers, pilots and assassins are all great options. Get creative with the costumes by using chaps or cropped tops to show some skin, while still having plenty of fabric to attach chains, bandoliers or other accessories to. Steampunk corsets are also a great way to add some va-va-voom to your outfit. Underbust corsets will give you great waist to bust ratio by whittling down your mid-section, whic
