Beige Steel Boned Corset With Ruffle Trim

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.

I love retro pin up looks
I love retro pin up looks and they are becoming more and more popular in advertising, pop culture and advertising while the high fashion industry are still favouring the tall gaunt models, more companies are looking for curvier bodies and a great sense of style in the models that they choose.

The 1940’s and 1950’s pin up look was very feminine and sexy, today pin up models often work in burlesque and lingerie modelling. Confidence is essential if you are thinking of becoming a pin up model.

Step 1
Research the internet and books for pinups, calendar girls and the styleof the 1940’s and 1950’s. Also have a look at today’s pin up models and burlesque girls such as Dita Von Teese and Bernie Dexter. Make sure that you know that you can comfortably wear the pin up style clothing as some of it can be quite restraining. While curves are a big part of the pin up look, you still need to be toned. There is a marketplace for larger pin up models, if they have a great sense of personal style.

Step 2
Make those essential finishing touches to perfect the look. The pin up girls of the 1940’s and 1950’s each had their own trademarks, so ensure you pick out your best features. Wear figure hugging pencil skirts and high heels if you have that typical hourglass shape to draw more attention to your waist line and team this up with some killer heels to really elongate your legs! And if you have a better bottom half, wear a corset that will really pull your waist in and still trim your hips to give that much sought after hourglass shape! I would recommend any of our Dita corsets that can pull your waist in up to four inches but still providing the coverage for your hips so you don’t get that unwanted overhang. Also keep in mind that part of the retro pin up look is the right undergarments. A waist clincher and bullet bra will really give you a true pinup look, check out our trixi underbust collection for a range of different looks!

Step 3
Find a photographer. To start work as a pin up model, it is a real must to have a good portfolio of photos. Search the web for an experienced pin up model photographer and maybe invest in a hair stylist and makeup artist for the best retro photos. if you are already based in a city with a good rockabilly or burlesque scene, this could be a good starting point to find a photographer.

Step 4
Promote yourself! As with all kind of modelling, it can be extremely competitive to get noticed therefore it is important to stand out from the crowd! If you have any other skills, consider the possibilities of burlesque or other stage performance to further your work as a pin up model. Set up your own social networking page, i.e Facebook, Myspace and Twitter to really get yourself out there!

Step 5
Consider hiring an agent. While not all modelling agencies work with pin up models, some do manage models with an alternative, retro, rockabilly or pin up look. But be really careful who you sign up with, read the contract and do not pay any money! A reputable agent will not charge you monay upfront.

A few extra tips from Paulina
"It is an absolute must that you invest in some red lipstick! Particularly for your portfolio! Red lips are a trademark for nearly every pin up girl! Don’t fret if you have a tattoo or two, most tattoos are typically quite accepted for modern pin ups. And make sure you can walk in your heels! There is nothing worse than a girl who can’t walk in their heels!"

That's all guys & dolls
Love,
