When we
think of tight-lacing, we think of allure, of an hourglass figure, of times
past and ladies’ boudoirs. We think of seduction, and maybe a hint of danger.
All this seduction and femininity applies to lace as well.
It is no
wonder then that we decided to combine and celebrate the two in this blog, and
play around with the idea of a very ladylike femme fatale.
We were
simply blown away with this Black lace
corset dress and had to feature it in our first set as it combines all we love
in one neat package. We accessorized with an elaborate necklace and earrings,
and added a simple yet elegant ring and of course, a lace fan.
There is something incredibly seductive about the colour purple. We paired this purple brocade corset with a lace and mesh skirt and mesh gloves for a lady that hides and reveals at the same time.
The Taffeta
Whisper is what we love about old school Goth: The sleek, Morticia-inspired
silhouette, the suggestive lace, and the tight, figure-enhancing corset. It’s
definitely our kind of sexy!
Our last
set, Thrill of Frill is inspired by Steampunk. The mermaid skirt and the black
corset with the brass detailing just beg for steampunk style jewellery. Of
course, we added a large frilled parasol which doubles as an umbrella, because
a proper steampunk lady wouldn’t be caught dead without it!
