Corset Measurement Form Corset Measurement Form Before you being please read the following: It is absolutely essential that you take careful measurement in order to ensure proper fit of your corset. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THESE MEASUREMENTS YOURSELF. Ask a trusted friend or go to a local bridal or alterations shop. Fashions of the Ages is NOT responsible for corsets that do not fit as a result of inaccurate measurements. All of our corsets are drafted from scratch based on the designs of the period of history you have selected and your specific needs. There are no refunds or exchanges of any kind, alterations will only be made if there is a mistake on our part. If you have any questions please email us before beginning, we are more than happy to help. • Measurements should be taken directly next to the skin or over a lightweight fitted bodysuit. Do not wear a bra unless you plan on wearing that same bra under your corset. • Tie a string snugly around the smallest part of your torso. This will help you when taking other measurements that are based off of your waistline. • Try to be as natural as possible with regards to your posture when taking measurements; do not suck in your waist unless specially instructed to. • Record measurements in ½ inch increments with the tape measure pulled sung. • A paper tape measure is preferable, plastic measurers are also ok. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE A YARDSTICK.

  • Class Cleavage Roots and Left Electoral Mobilization in Western Europe Vincenzo Emanuele
    Article Lost in Translation? Class Cleavage Roots and Left Electoral Mobilization in Western Europe Vincenzo Emanuele I investigate whether the strength of the class cleavage in Western Europe still “translates” into the electoral mobilization of the left. This research question is addressed through comparative longitudinal analysis in nineteen Western European countries after World War II. In particular, the impact of class cleavage is investigated by disentangling its socio-structural (working-class features) and organizational (corporate and partisan) components, thus accounting for its multidimensional nature. Data show that both components have a significant impact in Western Europe after 1945. However, while the socio-structural element is still nowadays a substantial predictor of left electoral mobilization, the impact of the organizational element has decreased over time and has become irrelevant in the last twenty-five years. Therefore, the class cleavage is not entirely lost in translation, but left electoral mobilization is no longer dependent upon the organizational features of trade unions and political parties that originally emerged to represent working-class interests. investigate whether and under what conditions the (i.e., the presence of a strong industrial working class, high I electoral mobilization of the Western European left is membership rates in trade unions and left-wing parties) predicted by the strength of the class cleavage.

    A Cleavage Trend Reveals a More Natural Décolletage for Hollywood Stars on the Red Carpet - NYTimes.com 2/18/14 1:10 PM http://nyti.ms/1m96c6u FASHION & STYLE Taking the Plunge at the Awards A Cleavage Trend Reveals a More Natural Décolletage for Hollywood Stars on the Red Carpet By TATIANA BONCOMPAGNI FEB. 12, 2014 Out with the Wonderbra, in with the ... sag? (And we don’t mean the Screen Actors Guild.) Dresses with revealing necklines have been stealing the spotlight this awards season, signaling, perhaps, a new era in red-carpet décolletage. At the Guild’s awards last month, Michelle Dockery, a star of “Downton Abbey,” wore a black and white J. Mendel dress that exposed much of her chest, while at the Golden Globes, more than a half-dozen actresses (Amy Adams, Sandra Bullock and Kate Mara among them) turned up in low-cut frocks that seemed to defy the use of regular brassieres. This is a new kind of cleavage ideal: Not the often artificially inflated breasts of yore, but a more naturalistic teardrop shape that harks back to the 1970s. Tired, perhaps, of exposing the top of the breasts, with the obvious leers that practice inspires, stars are now exposing the sides (sometimes at their peril: witness, along with a tsking Twitterverse, the “House of Cards” star Robin Wright’s flash of a pasty during her acceptance speech). At the Globes, Julianna Margulies and Margot Robbie, from “The Wolf of Wall Street,” also went nonchalantly low-cut. Valerie Steele, director and chief curator of the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, has noticed the shift.

  • Bra Fit Solutions Glossary.....P3-6 Fitting Tips Glossary
    Fitting.........p1-2. Tips.............p2 Bra Fit Solutions Glossary.....p3-6 Fitting.....Tips.....Glossary Bra Fit Solutions What is the advantage of an underwire? Underwires help relieve shoulder stress from bra straps by adding support below the breast. Underwires also provide shaping for an attractive lift and look. Does your bust spill out over the top of your bra or bulge under the cups? If so, your bra cups are too small; go up one cup size (but be sure to keep the same band size). Do you have wrinkles in your cups at the top or sides? Then your bust is not filling out the cup properly; try a smaller cup size. Does the back of your bra ride up higher than the front? If so, your band is too loose, you should tighten the band and loosen the straps. If that doesn’t help, you should try a smaller band size. Remember the lower the back of the bra fits, the more support you get. How do you prevent your bust line from sagging? Try shortening the straps; if your bust line still sags you may need a smaller cup size or try a firm support style with rigid straps. What if one of my breasts is larger than the other? This is a common problem among women. Always fit the larger breast. Choose styles with stretch fabric in the cups or padded cups. You can also adjust the strap of the larger breast looser than the strap of the smaller breast How often should you be fitted for a bra? You should be fit for a bra at least once a year.

  • Victoria's Secret As a Do-It-Yourself Guide Lexie Kite University of Utah
    Running Head: VS as a Do‐It‐Yourself Guide 1 From Objectification to Self-Subjectification: Victoria’s Secret as a Do-It-Yourself Guide Lexie Kite University of Utah Third-Year Doctoral Student Department of Communication 1 Running Head: VS as a Do‐It‐Yourself Guide 2 In the U.S. and now across the world, a multi-billion-dollar corporation has been fighting a tough battle for female empowerment since 1963, and according to their unmatched commercial success, women appear to be quite literally buying what this ubiquitous franchise is selling. Holding tight to a mission statement that stands first and foremost to “empower women,” and a slogan stating the brand is one to “Inspire, Empower and Indulge,” the franchise “helps customers to feel sexy, bold and powerful” (limitedbrands.com, 2010). This is being accomplished through the distribution of 400 million catalogs to homes each year, a constant array of television commercials all hours of the day, a CBS primetime show viewed by 100 million, and 1,500 mall storefront displays in the U.S. alone (VS Annual Report, 2009). And to the tune of 5 billion dollars every year, women are buying into the envelope-pushing “empowerment” sold by Victoria’s Secret, the nation’s premiere lingerie retailer. Due to Victoria’s Secret’s ubiquitous media presence and radical transformation from a modest, Victorian-era boutique to a sexed-up pop-culture phenomenon in the last decade, a critical reading of VS’s media texts is highly warranted. Having been almost completely ignored in academia, particularly in the last 15 years as the company has morphed from a place for men to shop for women to a women-only club (Juffer, 1996, p.
