President Obama may have difficulties with the First Lady if the Whitehouse Aides begin turning up in the Yes We Can-Can attire which has been designed by designer lingerie company Mio Destino in celebration of the new American President and his ‘…Yes We Can ’ campaign slogan.
President Obama is the begining of a new and glorious new chapter in the American Dream and with a promising tide turning in the U.S. and the Yes We Can-Can belief….it looks like a favourable start…..
It’s certainly a novel way to celebrate the 4th of July!
Retro and highly stylised – you will definitely get noticed in this glamorous lingerie item! I love bullet bras and in my mind WKD is the best maker of modern styles by far……Rock on!
It will certainly get you noticed but I don’t think you want to be turning up to the in-laws wearing it – they may just turn into the ‘out-laws’. This underbustcorset is the type that would look fantastic at an exotic or fetish party with the nipple tassles or without the tassles (maybe) and over a blouse with a pair of close fitting faded jeans.
The gorgeous hour glass figure that is acheived is erotic and deeply flattering whilst the corset suspenders add a highly sexy addition when worn with some sexy black stockings – I know they have used a tan colour in the picture but I feel black or virginal cream or white stockings would make a much more powerful and attractive statement.
The cinched waist and the manner in which the corset slides over the hips is very artistic giving the model an almost statuesque appeal.
What Katie Did corsets have rapidly gained a cult following in specialist markets such as burlesque and fetishism but also in the world of high glamour. If the underbust corset is a little bit too
If you are looking for something to wear to top-end functions and in the privacy of your own home when the lights are dimmed then this is surely the perfect corset to melt a mans heart!
‘Waist training’ , when done properly, is a practice where it is believed a person can gradually achieve waist reduction or waist shaping which, it is said, is non-harmful though there is sceptisism about this. Waist training is a process of moderately lacing and wearing a corset over a regular period and slowly. Corsets needa period of ‘breaking in’ to soften and mould them to an individuals body shape. After a while the corset gradually fits itself to the contours of the body and the corset material should then put an even pressure creating waist reduction. Corsets that are over tightened can damage the corset fabric and the corset itself but make cause harm to the wearer and therefore it is always worth speaking to an expert about how best to wear a corset.

“Tightlacing” is a term which is used to describe the practice of applying corsetry to its extreme to give the wearer the smallest waist possible.Tight-lacer individuals tend to wear their corset day and night, and continually pull the laces tighter together. After a tight-lacer has achieved a waist reduction of between 2-4 inches, they often change to a smaller corset to increase their waist training until they’ve reach what they see as their perfect figure. Tight lacing is highly controversial and is seen by many as a potentially harmful and dangerous practice. Individuals are advised to seek a doctor’s opinion before considering this form of corsetry. This is a form of corset use which seems to be frequently practiced by men or transgender fashion conscious people to achieve an hourglass figure.
The waist cincher, which is often termed the ‘Waspie’ is a belt type garment which is worn around the waist to decrease, or give the illusion of decreasing, the size of the waist.
Modern waist cinchers or waspies since the 1980s are often styled as wide, laced belts with elastic fabric and soft plastic stiffeners.
Dior’s New Look gave the waist cincher enormous popularity in the late 1940s. Diorwrote: “I designed clothes for flower-like women, with rounded shoulders, full feminine busts, and hand-span waists above enoumous spreading skirts”. The slim waists favoured by Dior were achieved by foundations garments such as the supremely popular waist cincher. This waist cincher was popularly called the ‘waspie’ or ‘guepiere’ and was ‘the’ undergarment of the New Look. These waspies were boned and were much shorter than the former Victorian corsets. The fashion press of the time said of waspies that they were ‘super-light weight’ and had ‘feather boning’ and were normally worn tightly cinched at the waist and usually over a girdle.
Waspies are a very popular introduction to the world of corsetry for many people and tend to be less restrictive and more flexible in their uses than full corsets. One of the most popular brands is the superbly crafted Eternal Spirits corset brand.
An inspirational brand What Katie Did found success from the start and in May 2005 Katie received a telephone call from TopShop which eventually lead to the placing of an order.
Corsets, as you may imagine, have always been a big passion of Katies’ and she commenced her career at Skin Two Retail in 1995. At that period fetish shops were the only source of proper steel boned corsets and for that matter nylon fully fashioned stockings. What Katie Did silk corsets were officially launched in the January of 2006 which was also the point at which What Katie Did commenced its business relationship with the retro pin up photographer Tony Nylons (how appropriately named) who has been responsible for all of the brands photography, except the Bernie Dexter pictures, ever since. What a partnership it has been ‘Inspirational Corset designer meets Talented Photographic artist’….a match made in corset heaven.
What Katie Did produce two collections each year which have a worldwide cult following. Their designs are not just retro influenced but are actually made using vintage patterns which are carefully adapted for today’s woman. The What Katie Did corset brand tries to adhere, where possible, to the fabrics and manufacturing processes that were available at that time.
