The truth about my prom night.

I haven’t told this to anyone but it got to a point where I had to admit at least to myself that the real reason I didn’t attend prom is that I wasn’t confident I would pull the look I had in my head.

You see prom was this night that people talked about since first year and it was something that girls planned with precision. I knew that I wanted to go for prom. I knew that I wanted to look stunning. I knew that I wanted a long gown and nice silver sandals. But I wasn’t sure that I could attain the look in my head. So I came up with all these excuses so that my girlfriends wouldn’t feel like I was bailing out. And the night came and I missed my prom because I wasn’t confident enough.

With hindsight I wish I went for prom. I wish that I had been confident enough to believe that I would look stunning in my choice of dress. I had actually seen my dream dress and tried it on. The shop manager thought I looked amazing but it was all too much for me. I don’t like being the centre of attention and I felt like the dress was over the top but I also deep down felt like I couldn’t pull it through.

 Well they say in life there’s second chances and I got a chance to wear my dream prom dress in my best friends wedding. Her colour scheme was sky blue and she allowed me to pick a dress of my choice. In my opinion I looked stunning (I hope she doesn’t read this).

And that’s why I felt that as the prom season is now upon us I should encourage any girls out there. Don’t be discouraged by the catalogues of prom dresses. Not everyone can look like a model but we are all stunning when we wear our choice of dress confidently. Shop around and try on different styles of dresses. Don’t just try on what you have in your mind but be open to the possibilities that designers have created for you. If you know for sure you want a mermaid gown, try a short dress, a bandage dress, a dipped hem, Grecian style and all other styles available.

Also try on a range of colours. We all have favourite colours but sometimes sticking to your favourite colour makes you predictable and boring. If you are a  girl who loves black why not try jewel tones or metallic and see how that looks on you.  Bright colours tend to lift moods and boost confidence. You can also stick to black but with embellishment to give it the glam look. Try pearls or sequins perhaps even glitter.

Having done all that you can please remember that prom is all about having fun and dancing with your friends. Make it a night to remember, smile, dance and let the night roll.

Dresses of the week

Corset or was it cinchers II

Hope you had a good weekend. I had a great one .
This is in continuation to my blog last week on my testing of the corset.

Its been couple of weeks now of wearing a corset on alternate days. Like i said before the hardest bit about wearing a corset is in the mind. Get past that block that says its uncomfortable, or that you won't breathe or that its too tight. Get a grip of the fact that it pays to look good coz you feel good and it shows in your posture and behaviour all day. Its been while now and i still wake up and think "do i really have to wear a corset today?". So it takes some getting used to but so does wearing tights or a bra.

By the way when i refer to corset am talking about the ESBELT Corset.

That's the best I've found so far and if its been used by Gok Wan to style women it must be good :D)

One of the immediate benefits of wearing the Esbelt corset according to my own observation is that it lifts the bust. 

This gives you a great posture and obviously works wonders on clothes giving you an amazing silhouette.

I also found that when i wear a corset i don't slump at my desk as am normally in the habit of doing. It  helps me sit upright in a proper posture and hence by end of day my shoulders don't feel strained.

The best benefit that I've proven by wearing the corset on alternate days is that your stomach muscles actually feel and look more toned and not flabby.
It doesn't work overnight. You need to wear the right size of corset and be consistent. When it comes to size i have had experiences with ladies who believe that the smaller the corset the better. However corsets do come in sizes and its important that you buy your actual size and not a smaller size. Most ladies who give up on wearing corsets are those who went ahead and bought a smaller size so when they manage to get it on they can hardly breathe. Thats not only uncomfortable but its also dangerous.Make sure when you buy a corset you ask the retailer about the proper sizing. Esbelt corsets have very clear size charts and if you are to purchase one i would recommend that you buy your actual size.

Also because its a corset and not a body suit you don't have to worry about the convenience of going to the washroom which is what many women struggle with when it comes to waist cinches because most of them come in the form of body suits.

I have read that its been scientifically proven that your body can actually get used to waist constriction to the extent that you reduce your actual waist size using a corset. I haven't proven that yet because i think thats a bit extreme. If you want to lose weight i would say watch your diet and exercise, however while keeping at it buy a corset and help smooth the lumps and bumps. Don't let the excess lumps limit your wardrobe rather tame them using a corset as you work towards a more long term solution.

I hence will boldly say for what its worth, a corset is a great investment for every wardrobe.

Last week a naughty friend asked me if i was going to do a review of the ESBELT BUM BUM
Taking on the challenge, ill wear a bum bum for a couple of days and let you know.....
Don't believe am doing this.......

Corset or waist cinchers

Many women are embarrassed to admit that they use a corset or any other shapewear.
I use a corset and i tell everyone who asks me. I think its one the things every wardrobe must have regardless of your size.Its not about size but more about smoothing out edges :D)

Am a typical UK size 12 on a normal day. I say normal day because my winter eating habits have a way of moving me up a dress size and then the rest of the year am a size 12.
I have found that when i wear some dresses there are a few areas that need some smoothing out.
The truth is even if i went to the gym it wouldn't guarantee that smoothing effect in that particular area.
Don't get me wrong am all into exercising and keeping fit and its part of my daily routine.
However there comes some days when i wear a bodycon  dress that needs to hug the figure and not show the "sins"  that i grab my corset and let it do the work for me.

When i think of wearing a corset i feel tired!! literally.
Its one of those things that make you go like "no, not again". But I've found that once i have it on, its not half as bad as i thought it was. I wear the ESBELT Corset which is the toughest in the market. Its also one of the very few corsets available in the market that doesn't ride when you walk or sit and thats the main reason i love it.

When i first got it, i opened the pack and was shocked. The smell of latex was so intense. Thats because the corset is made of 100% latex don't go into shock please, it has a triple layer of cotton to ensure that its comfortable next to your skin.

So i rinsed it  and hang it to dry and be ready to wear the following day.
I wore it the following morning and boy was it tight! I know they say no pain no gain but.......
It felt like the whole of me was compressed and the 8 hours were so long. The only reasons  that kept me going were A, everyone said i looked stunning in the dress i wore and , i have a policy of not giving up easily so yeah i held on for 8 solid hours. I got through it and wasn't too sure i was willing to do it again ever. So i packed my corset and didn't wear it for a couple of weeks.

Then one day i woke up and decided no i need to do this.
I need to test this corset, i need to know if it does what it says it does.
And thats why am writing  to tell you of my tests and findings of the ESBELT corset.

Please watch out for the rest of the article on Monday you will love it.
