What Is Elegant Bridal Lingerie?

June 26th, 2008

What exactly is elegant bridal lingerie? The term elegant means tasteful in appearance, and, of course, bridal is associated to a wedding, and the word lingerie is used for women’s undergarments designed to  be visually appealing or sensuous. In essense the bride wants to be tastefully dressed from head to toe under and over.  It has become vogue for brides-to-be to have elegant bridal lingerie as part of their bridal wardrobe.

The first thing that comes to mind when you hear a girl is engaged is wow, what is she going to wear, when is the big day, etc. Sure, most women wonder what the beautiful bride-to-be will be dressed in, but not what she will have underneath that gorgeous gown. Chances are the bride-to-be is ten steps ahead of the pack and is already planning on what possible elegant bridal lingerie she can match with her dress.

One pitfall a bride should avoid is to be careful not to purchase her elegant bridal lingerie before she purchases her bridal gown. A beautiful lacy bra may not go with a low cut gown; a backless gown needs to have a specific type bra that connects at the waist so a standard bra will not do in this instance. Every bride-to-be wants her day to be the most memorable day ever and by adding elegant bridal lingerie to her wardrobe is just one way to enhance the package.

Comfort, comfort, comfort! Elegance is of course a must, but so is comfort. It’s a big day and you’re going to be on display. You want great memories about that fabulous day not about how uncomfortable those undergarments made you feel. So be selective and be mindful of return policies when it comes to underwear. Many stores do not allow returns on undergarments so make certain you know your measurements and size before you order or purchase these garments.

Once the wedding bells ring and the newlyweds are on their way to the honeymoon. The bride certainly wants to be comfortable in her elegant bridal lingerie. Chances are it’s been a long day and for the couple the night is just beginning. If the bride is smart she has purchased more elegant bridal lingerie for her new adventure as husband and wife. This piece or set could be babydoll lingerie or teddy lingerie as a nice trade off to what she has worn all day.

Any way you look at it, a smart bride will be an elegant bride and an elegant bride will be wearing elegant bridal lingerie as part of her wardrobe. So here comes the bride all dressed in elegant bridal lingerie and loving every step she makes.

Women wore chemises as shirts beneath their gowns while the men wore chemises with their trousers and covered them with doublets or robes. Today only women wear a chemise almost always as a part of her lingerie ensemble.

Chemises are worn as lingerie under formal clothes and also as a simple sleepwear. They are made of comfortable fabrics like cotton, silk or satin. They are considered quite a fashion statement for women who love the beauty of sexy lingerie. Designer chemises are quite a fad these days.

Silk and satin chemises are soft and sensual and can be found with a combination of other materials lace, mesh, embroidery or sequins. Coupled with various colors, these designs strive to create a chemise, which is the perfect wear for an intimate night.

Chemise remains popular even five hundred years after it was introduced into the clothing scene. They have evolved from being objects of mere comfort to being the essential part of the lingerie ensemble to make a woman feel sexy and beautiful. The advent of movies and the visual portrayal of chemises have nurtured their romantic and sexy image. They have been shown in every aspect from the femme fatale image to the sweet and innocent baby doll idea.

Even romantic books have portrayed chemises as an integral part of their heroine’s wardrobe. Fact and fiction has been so similar before as with the choice and popularity of the chemise. And since a woman’s love for beauty and luxury will never die, chemises will always be in fashion. Who knows the fashion may revert to even men again some day in the future.

Laced Corsets and Use In Modern Fashion

June 23rd, 2008

It has become vogue to wear lingerie as outerwear for those of you who have not caught up with the rest of the fashion world, .  Such items as laced corsets are actually on the list as must haves for the chic dresser.  Laced corsets are hot for clubbing or for those exclusive dinner parties.

The modern day laced corset is not technically a corset in the traditional sense.  While modern laced corsets often feature boning and generally mimic a historical style of corsets, they have very little effect on the shape of the wearer’s body.

In recent years the term “corset” or “laced corset” has also been borrowed by the fashion industry to refer to tops which mimic the look of traditional corsets without actually acting as one.  These tops are many times found in stores that cater to the gothic fashion crowd.

Truly genuine laced corsets are typically made by a corsetmaker and should be individually fitted. Women of all sizes are known to wear laced corsets and plus size corsets. They are somewhat enhancing for the female figure giving the slenderizing effect of the waistline and an hourglass figure emerges as a result. Laced corsets can lace up either in the front or back giving the wearer a challenge in putting on the garment for the first few times or with the need of assistance. But most women are willing to do most anything when it comes in the name of fashion. The modern versions make lacing much less of a burden than that of the traditional versions that one thinks of when the word corset comes to mind. The laced corset can actually be comfortable to wear once the wearer becomes accustomed to the constrictive nature of the garment.

Laced corsets have also made an impact in the teen gothic dress sector.

We all wear panties in some form or fashion. Some of us prefer sexy sheer thongs, others prefer bikinis, and still others want full coverage briefs. But the truth remains that almost all women wear underwear. For most of us, our underwear reveals something about us and our preferences.

If you are looking to step out of your lingerie comfort zone, your panties are a great place to start. A new pair of panties is fun and inexpensive way to add some spice to your day. No matter what normally occupies the panty drawer in your bedroom, there is a new option available for you. Today’s lingerie is made from very soft and comfortable fabric and you don’t have to be concerned about itchy lace or stiff elastic.

If you are normally a bikini wearer, try a string bikini. String bikinis are a more comfortable option for today’s fashionable skinny jeans. With less fabric on the side you will much less likely to have unsightly panty lines. Obviously, alone string bikinis are a more sexy and revealing panty than bikinis. The advantage is you still have all the coverage you look for in a regular bikini.

Many women prefer thongs to deal with panty lines in their clothing. As fashions become more tailored and slim fitting, panty lines become much more obvious. The always sheer thong is the perfect solution. Again, this is where the fabrics of today are a great gift to women of today. Womens sheer thongs are no longer uncomfortable and restricting but very comfortable.

When shopping for sheer thongs, determine the style that you prefer. Some are constructed with a small triangle of fabric that sits below the small of your back. Others known as g-strings don’t have that little bit of fabric, the elastic simply rides around your hip or just below and between your buttocks. Both styles give the clean no panty line in form fitting styles. For wearing with the ultra low rise style of jeans, some thongs have small charms or jewels attached to the back fabric panel to peek a boo above the jean line. This is fun little accent for weekend or evening wear.

But maybe you have always worn briefs. There is no shame in this. The beauty of underwear is that there are sexy options in every panty style. Sexy white  panties are available everywhere from your local discount store to high end lingerie boutiques. A very comfortable and sexy panty choices is the seamless, cotton lycra stretch blends. If you want to minimize the appearance of panty lines and still have more coverage, these are the panties for you. They are available in every imaginable color and with or without details like soft lace. Neutral skin tones are perfect to pair with light colored clothing. But with jeans, get a few sexy panties in colors that are vivid and fun. No one has to know if you dont’ want them to.

When purchasing swimsuits, keep in mind the various panty styles. Your cut of the bottom of the swimsuit will depend upon whether if it is one or two pieces. Two piece swimsuits can have bottoms from full coverage brief styles to thongs and g-strings. Determine how you are going to use your suit before choosing your bottom style. For beach wear, all styles work well. However, for swimming as exercise or diving, you will likely want a little more coverage.

Briefly in review (pun intended), you can have a lot of fun with your underwear. It is a great way to add a sense of adventure to your lingerie drawer and easy on your pocketbook.

The History of Laced Corsets

June 9th, 2008

*[A laced corset is a garment that girds the torso and shapes it according to the fashionable silhouette of the day. Most often it has been used for cinching the waist and supporting the breasts.

"Contrary to popular myth, the laced corset was not as restrictive as is generally believed. Vain women tended to wear laced corsets tighter than necessary and buy laced corsets with smaller waists, but most women, although they purchased an 18 or 20 inch waisted corset left a gap at the back closure to accommodate a more realistic 22 - 26 inch waist measurements. On average that would mean a corset reduced the figure by only an inch or two at most."

By the middle of the 16th century, laced corsets were appearing as a commonly worn garment for women. These were made of stiffened multiple layers of linen with wooden busks or shafts that were inserted in a pocket at the front in order to keep the corset and figure straight. In this form, the corset survived until about 1860. The new sewing machine created an industry, which replaced the old type home-made corset.

Stays became much less constricting with the advent of the high waisted empire style (around 1796) which de-emphasized the natural waist. Some form of stays was still worn by most women but these were often "short stays" (i.e. which did not extend very far below the breasts). By contrast, laced corsets intended to exert serious body-shaping force (as in the Victorian era) were "long" (extending down to and beyond the natural waist), laced in back, and stiffened with boning.

The primary purpose of 18th century stays was to raise and shape the breasts, tighten the midriff, support the back, improve posture to help a woman stand straight, with the shoulders down and back, and only slightly narrow the waist, creating a 'V' shaped upper torso over which the outer garment would be worn. However, 'jumps' of quilted linen were also worn instead of stays for informal situations. Jumps were only partially boned, did little for one's posture, but did add some support. Both garments were considered undergarments, and would be seen only under very limited circumstances. Well fitting 18th Century stays are quite comfortable, do not restrict breathing, and allow women to work, although they restrict bending at the waist (forcing one to protect one's back by lifting with the legs!).

By 1800 the corset became primarily a method of supporting the breasts as the waist was raised to just under the bust line. Laced corsets still slimmed the torso but this was not their primary purpose

When the waistline returned to its natural position during the 1830's, the corset reappeared and served dual purpose of supporting the breasts and narrowing the waist. However, it had changed its shape to the hourglass silhouette that is even now considered typical both for corsets and for Victorian fashion. At the same time, the term corset was first used for this garment in English. In the 1830s, the artificially inflated skirts and shoulders made the intervening waist look narrow, even with the corset laced only moderately.

In the late 19th century overzealous concern about reports of tight lacing caused a movement for rational dress. Some doctors were found to support the theory that corsetry was injurious to health (particularly during pregnancy) and women who did tight lace were condemned for vanity and excoriated from the pulpit as slaves to fashion. In reality, tight corsetting was most likely the cause of indigestion and constipation but rarely the cause for a plethora of ailments associated with tight corsetting at the time ranging from hysteria to liver failure.

World War 1 caused a lack of steel for civilian use and the corset, which had been using steel bones in its construction since the 1860s, further declined in popularity as women took to brassieres and girdles which also used less steel in their construction.

Change in economy also changed the culture. Before: The typical young lady would be living at home and would have received a corset around age 15, and she might have been married by age 18 and in these years. After: The young lady was a student. The typical trendy young woman had unskilled work, and contraception was common. The typical corset was an underbust corset only for corpulent or pregnant women, but often it was all smooth underwear carrying the same name. 

Corsets fell from popularity during the late 1910s but forms of body shaping undergarments often called corsets continued to be worn well into the 1920s. However, these garments were better known as girdles with the express purpose of reducing the hips in size. A return to waist nipping corsets in 1939 caused a stir in fashion circles but World War II ended their return. In the late 1940s they were revived and were popularly known as 'Merry Widows' In the late 1980's and 1990's, fetish fashion became popular and laced corsets made something of a recovery, often worn as top garments rather than undergarments.]*
