Late last year I purchased this little number from What Katie Did:
The "Dorothy" underbust corset has a steel busk (the metal hook and loops at the front) and steel boning sewn into the lining. It pulls tight with strong nylon lacing at the back and can reduce your waist by up to 4 inches. That's right Kittens - 4 INCHES!!
Now since I purchased my corset I have lost a little weight and it a little on the big side now, particularly under the bust, but it is still very wearable under both vintage and modern dresses.
The pink gingham print makes it almost too pretty to hide under clothing, but it has yet to venture out over the top of a crisp white shirt. I always seem to lose my nerve to use it as outerwear!
I just love the way it defines my waist and gives me killer curves a la Joan Holloway.
Do you have a secret weapon to help you with your look? Whisper it in my ear.... it'll stay between you and me Kittens!
