Sexy Basques - A History of Sexy Costumes and Elegance
Many women love to wear sexy costumes. From an elegantly sensual basque to an exotic bustier, sexy costumes are a terrific way to spice up the bedroom. Some basques can even be worn as outerwear, offering a daring choice for a night out. Basques have been around for many centuries, although they have adapted and changed over the years. Provided here is a brief guide to the history of these beautiful and sexy costumes.
Basques were originally Victorian-era jackets that mimicked the shape of the corset. The jackets were tightly fitted and extended past the hips, flaring out to accommodate a bustle.
Over time, fashions changed. Corsets began to fall out of favor in the 1910s, as the rational dress movement took over. Gradually bras and girdles took the place of the corset. Basques fell out of fashion as women stopped wearing bustles and waistlines crept upward.
Today’s basques are largely rooted in the fetish trends of the 1980s and 1990s. Largely modeled after Victorian-era corsetry, as well as the Victorian basque jacket, today’s basques range from mild to wild.
A supportive choice to wear underneath backless dresses, the strapless bustier is especially popular. However, more exotic basque choices are also available, including largely see-through pieces that are perfect for bedroom wear.
The basques of today are designed to resemble the corsetry of the past. Modern materials ensure a subtle body shaping without the compression of the past. Blending functionality with exotic and beautiful designs, these sexy costumes are wonderful for a myriad of occasions.

Tips for Choosing the Perfect Bridal Lingerie:
When picking out your bridal lingerie, make sure your bridal lingerie works well with your wedding gown. Some wedding gowns may require specific styles of bridal lingerie to provide maximum support or maximum exposure.
Although functionality and style are extremely important, another very important factor to consider when buying bridal lingerie is comfort. Keep in mind that during the wedding ceremony and reception, you’re going to be on your feet and moving around most of the time. The right bridal lingerie shouldn’t be too constricting and should make you feel gorgeous not awkward and uncomfortable.
Whether you purchase the bridal lingerie or receive it as a gift from your bridal shower, remember to pick pieces that are structured well to provide excellent support to your dress, but beautiful and soft enough to make you feel absolutely desirable.
Bridal Basque or Bridal Bustier
When choosing wedding underwear it can certainly be a challenge if you don’t know your bustier from your basque. Whereas a basque offers a longer waisted support, a wedding bustier is a shorter version of a corset or basque and tends to finish just above or around the waistline. This can create the effect of a smaller waist whilst leaving your hips free. This style particularly suits a dress that flows out from the waist missing your hips, rather than an A-line.
Our bustiers are made from sumptuous satin or soft lace both offering you the most luxurious of fabrics. Whether you’re looking for a smooth finish with underwired cups for shaping support, or the full support of a boned wedding bustier, either will leave you feeling both comfortable and gorgeous. Most of our wedding bustiers include a low back designed to stay out of sight underneath your dress. Our wedding bustiers are available in white or ivory, the perfect accompaniment to your wedding gown. Matching knickers or thongs are also usually available to finish off that beautiful wedding bustier. A bustier can come with or without straps. Make sure you choose one that will not be visible underneath your dress so that the only person who gets to see your gorgeous new wedding underwear is your new husband on your wedding night!
As with all styles of wedding underwear, always be sure to go for something that is both comfortable and flattering underneath your dress, rather than because you think it’s pretty. You can always change into something more appealing to the eye for the wedding night!
