A corset with something a little different is always appreciated and this corset is no exception. This corset has been designed to emphasis the waist reduction it gives. The front panels are made in a print cloth with the rest of the panels on the corset made from a plain cloth. This helps give the illusion of a very dramatic waist reduction and draws beholder's eye to this reduction. To compliment this there is a ribbon ruffle trim at both the top and bottom of the corset, which at the top also provides cleavage cover for the more modest wearer.

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!
