So from that post I had planned to lead onto this weeks Most Wanted Wednesday, and since the show I have been thinking more about Burlesque and its stunning costumes (which don't exactly stay on for long!). The costumes I saw on Saturday were gorgeous, so I decided to look a little further and found this...
OMG ISN'T STUNNING! I had totally forgotten that the Queen of Burlesque, Dita Von Teese, had walked the Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture show last year, in the most amazing corseted bejeweled costume I've seen. It's skeletal design mixed with the fine tailoring and boning of the corset just gives the most beautiful silhouette and impact. Just look at her waist!
I could never make something anything like this, I mean hopefully one day, but it looks doubtful. I could design it, but lack the skills to actually make it. But then again, isn't that what highly skilled seamstresses and tailors are for?
