Gingham & Satin Underbust Corset

Gingham & Satin Underbust Corset

£40.00 / $60.00


This georgous Trixi waist cincher has a gingham print contrasted with black satin, to give a new spin to the classic gingham underbust. Try pairing it with one of our skirts.

There are a total of 12 steel bones in this corset, all positioned to in such a way as to flatter the silhouette of the wearer. The bones are designed and positioned in the garment to help the wearer achieve the much sought after hour glass figure, if so desired, by cinching the waist which helps accentuate the breasts and hips. The front of the corset has a steel front closure, popularly referred to as a busk. This works with the steel bones.

The back of this corset is lace up. If so desired this can be used to reduce the waist of the wearer by up to 4 inches.

The steel bones and steel busk have been used as opposed to plastic to ensure longevity of the corset. Plastic bones tend to either warp or snap after a short period of time and then become uncomfortable for the wearer. Nor do they have the ability to flatter a silhouette the way a steel bone corset does, even if the plastic bones are used with a steel busk.

* Specialist Duchess Satin
* Specialist Cotton Lining on the inside.
* Reinforced With 14 Steel Bones
* Steel Front Closure (Busk)
* Busk Length 9"
* Corset Length At Front 10"
* Lace-up back
* Six Loops For Suspenders

This corset is sized according to both waist and dress size. It is advisable that you buy according to your waist size, not dress size. Corsets should be ordered 2-4 inches (5-10cm) smaller than the natural waist size. e.g. a 26" waist should order a 24" corset or for the more experienced corset wearer 22”.
For further details see the Corset Sizing & Fitting.

This item is available up to a dress size 24 which is 36".

Paulina's Tips On How To Dress Pin Up Model Style

Corset Catalogue | Paulina De La Passionfruit |  Paulina's Tips On How To Dress Pin Up Model Style

The pin up look I love
The pin up look I love
The pin up look I love so much can be incorporated into all styles with any kind of body type and the current pin up model style is changing the standard of beauty. These women and artists present an image of glamour that is a mixture of the past and present style.

Instructions

Step 1 :
Choose a hairstyle from 1940’s that will complement your face shape. The 1940’s hairstyle is usually a combination of pin curls, side-reverse rolls or victory rolls. You can either try master the hairstyle yourself, find a wig or go to a stylist. Ebay is a great site to purchase wigs and at a reasonable price!

Step 2 :
Choose your makeup. Next time you are out shopping, visit your local makeup store and seek out the advice of a professional and their opinions on the right colours for your complexion.

The typical look of the 1940’s produced a natural look that focused on the eyebrows, eyelashes and lips. Your eyebrow colour should match your hair, the brows should be shaped with a long thick arch that tapers off into a point. Once styled, eyebrows are emphasised with an eyebrow pencil. The colour of the eyelashes depends upon your hair colour, dark hair should wear black while blonde or redheads wear brown. Natural looking fake eyelashes or extensions can be used to emphasise eyes. Eye shadow colours should be neutral with highlighting that deepens the eyelid. Cheek rouge should produce the effect of a slight blush. Lip colour should be as dark and deep as deep as your skin tone allows. The lips are lined in the same colour as the lipstick.

Step 3 :
Corsets are actually an exception rather than the rule in the classic pin up look and you are in the right place if you want to purchase one to add to your look! All of the waist reducing underbust and overbust corsets featured on this site are made using high quality steel bones to give that much sought after hour glass figure and are made using the finest and most unique cloth. When choosing a corset, I would probably recommend going for one that is a little more understated so that it doesn’t dominate the look.

Step 4 :
Dress in costume. Usually, the look was a naughty girl next door. Everything from a sailor suit to the wayward country girl can work. If you type in 'World War II Pin Up' it should offer a selection of ideas of the type of look that should be achieved.

Step 5 :
The hosiery and undergarments can either make or break the look; these are usually vintage thigh highs with classic girdles and full brassieres. We will be adding a selection of classic pin up wear to this site very soon!

Step 6 :
Pick your shoes! The open-toe platforms are the most recognisable 1940’s shoes. Baby Girl Boutique has a good selection that you can choose from! But remember that red is a sassy colour that can definitely achieve that look!

Step 7 :
For a more retro look, find tattoo alternatives, this would seal the classic pin up look and make it more contemporary. Real or alternative, a quick internet search will provide you with some ideas.

A few extra tips from Paulina: Patent your look and define your style! The pin up look goes back a hundred years and any one element can be incorporated into your look! Don’t be afraid to be fresh and daring!
