Basques and  Corsets are at their most popular with more and more parties having  a Burlesque theme.   The marjority of Corsets and Basques tend to have lace up backs so you can really tighten the waist to get the hour glass figure that is required.  A really good tip that was given to me is if you're on the larger side  buy a longer length of ribbon so that when it comes to doing up the tie at the back your not left struggling with a short length to hold it all together.   This way you can let out on the hips and/or chest area to acheive that figure of 8 look.  Sweetheart necklines can also be more comfortable for large chested women than the straight across neckline but go with what you feel most comfortable and sexy in.

Ranging from girly nights out, romantic nights in  to hen parties -  remember that as well as the clothing the hair and make up can really set the scene. 

Feminine big hair do's and bright red lipstick all add to the look.  Black eyeliner on upper lids only.   Make up tends to have a matt finish so use powder to keep the shine at bay.

Remember  all shapes and sizes can carry off this look , it'll flatter and enhance those fabulous curves.  Be confident.
