Hi ladies & gents! What a whirlwind of a week! First off, I have to thank every single one of our fabulous customers for making this Halloween season such a wonderful and busy time. Not only did we have a fantastic Halloween, but we have been LOVING all the pics our customers have been posting in their sexy costumes! (check them out on our FB page! Our customers look amazing in their costumes!!)
On top of that, we had a great time promoting the love of Hips & Curves at this year’s L.A. FFFWeek (Full Figured Fashion Week)! H&C was featured in the Saturday finale event on the FFFWeek runway. It was such a blast, and our models ROCKED in some of our hottest corsets, costumes and lingerie.
With Halloween just around the corner, we have come up with some fabulous new items that are sure to spice up your costumes! And the beauty of using these pieces for a costume is that they can become an integral part of your wardrobe in the future. For example, check out our new (absolutely stunning) Trumpet Tulle Skirt. I LOVE this skirt!! And when Halloween has come and gone, it can still be worn for events, boudoir photos, a sexy outfit out on the town (or in the bedroom)… or for whatever else your imagination can come up with!
If you understood the title of this post then you’ve probably been to a Renaissance Pleasure Faire. The best place to dress up in your tightest corset, eat a turkey leg and speak a little Elizabethean. I got to thinking about the Ren Faire after seeing some of the new styles released on Hips and Curves.com this week. Some of these styles are perfect for a Renaissance Faire and can actually be worn after – unlike some of the crazy metal corset contraptions you may have seen at some of these events!
Try a pair of bloomers – just in case the hot summer breeze (or someone who’s had one too many beers) finds its way up your skirt!
This cotton lace chemise is perfect for the warm weather. Pair it with a steel boned underbust corset for some serious shaping.
If you want to go totally casual, try this cotton lace camisole with a pair of jeans.
Remember, fashion from the Elizabethan period reflects the social status of the wearer, so if you want to be seen as nobility you’ll need to go all out! Try a steel boned corset, top hat, bloomers and a riding crop!
