I had to find out more about Bordelle, the label that gave birth to my elastic cage corset which I’m quite willing to give up Ferrero Rocher for in order not to *ahem* bulge out of with the pudgy fat rolls (some of you mentioned about having some…trust me… I have them too…). Andrew Ibi, the owner of The Convenience Store where I bought the beautiful Bordelle piece did promise an even more impressive S/S 09 collection where by definition, it makes the full crossover from lingerie to bodywear. Herve Leger-type bandages gets warped a little so that there are gaps in between… I’m picturing a juicy shade of peach peeking through… not to add to the sexual innuendo or anything…I just happen to really like that colour…
Criss cross elastic corsets, chiffon ruching running up latex leggings and harlequin lambskin sectioned leggings. I can think of more than one or two bloggers who could pull these off with effortless aplomb…
Going back to the issue of bulging rolls though, unlike the model here, if I indulged in another piece of Bordelle, of course a bit of grey jersey or worn down cotton would be going underneath the corsets/basques (thank the lord for industrial strength elastic…), and thus lessens the roll issue. I am speaking from experience as on the day after Boxing Day, I put mine on and in the mirror miraculously, evidence of my Crimbo pork-out (no less than FOUR different roast meats within a three day period goddamnit…) suddenly ceased to exist…
