Mio Destino sent out an e-mail to their mailing list explaining why every woman needs a corset.

It’s like I need convincing, but I thought they made a good point. Here goes:

1. Wearing a corset gives you a fabulous figure
   It gives you good posture, takes inches off your waist and accentuates your breasts…
2. Corsets are very versatile
   They can be worn under clothes to give the illusion of an hourglass figure or worn as outerwear for a special occasion.
3. Lots of celebrities are wearing them
   From the performing Dita von Teese and Pussycat Dolls to the more demure wearers, such as Stella McCartney and Kristin Davis.
4. They are just beautiful
   A stunning piece of craft work which you will treasure forever and that will become an essential part of your wardrobe.
5. Guys, they are the perfect gift!
   A corset is such a luxurious, meaningful item to receive — just make sure you get her waist measurement correct!

Mio Destino has quite a big selection of corsets, check them out right here!

Remember when I told you how great The Little Bra Company is for listening to their customers and coming out with 28 and 30 band sizes? Well, they’ve done it again!

As we’ve told you before, TLBC has filled in a much-needed gap of gorgeous bras made not only in smaller sizes, but specifically with a petite frame in mind. That means that TLBC bras fit much better than those from other brands that focus on a larger range of cup sizes - but in the beginning, it also meant that they were so focused on getting a perfect bra fit that they only released one style of classic lace boyshort panties. Customers asked for a skimpier choice, however, and TLBC listened! A new low-rise Lucia thong has recently been introduced in the gorgeous new color combinations to match the new Lucia bras! You can have all the comfort, with less coverage.

Now all you women with smaller frames can have perfectly fitting bras, and you can choose how much coverage (or lack thereof!) you want every day. I think that, by now, it’s obvious that TLBC really listens to their customers. So if you’re itching to get your hands on some, so head over to The Little Bra Company’s website to purchase your own set.

(Pssst! If you like what you see, keep an eye on The Lingerie Post. Very soon, we will be giving one of these sets away!)

In an homage to Tom Cruise in Risky Business, Heidi Klum is dancing around in her lingerie playing air guitar. This isn’t a commercial for lingerie, but rather for Guitar Hero the extremely popular video game.

We told you when to tune in to watch the Victoria’s Secret 2008 Fashion Show on your TV. But the show itself was held and taped this weekend, and we have some photos for you! Sharen Turney, CEO of Victoria’s Secret, said, “The theme of the show is a return to glamour. Victoria’s Secret is about sexy, and the new sexy is glamorous for this season.” Chief costume designer Todd Thomas said, “This year’s focus is glamour, sophistication and the return to elegance.” There were 68 outfits worn by 35 models, and 2 performances by Usher. Enjoy!

And of course, I couldn’t leave you without at least a few peeks backstage, could I?

It’s been way too long since we last had Vannina Vesperini on TLP, but today we got word from our friends over at Nancy Meyer that they’ve gotten a new Vannina Vesperini collection in!

The French label has two new looks, both very sober - yet visibly luxurious with a combination of high quality silks and laces. I really love the designs — they just scream out class!

Bras start at $193, panties at $117. That’s not cheap.

Kriss Soonik lingerie is yet another newcomer at Glamorous Amorous (they also just added Ruby Angel!), who are really adding a lot of great luxury labels to their e-boutique!

Kriss Soonik’s “Simple Girls with Super Powers” collection for Autumn/Winter ‘08-’09 made it onto TLP back in August - so more photos can be found in that post!

TLP favorite Secrets In Lace has just released their new Holiday Collection, and it is stunning! The very first thing I noticed is the rich jewel tones: deep red, festive green, warm gold, and an icy silver. These fresh, modern shades are found on the nostalgic styles of circle stitch bullet bras, silky full slips, camisoles, tap pants, thongs, briefs, garter belts, waist cinchers, and even matching portrait collar tops.

With all these colors and styles, I imagine it would be easy to pick just a few pieces and be able to mix and match for a lot of different looks. Any retro-loving, vintage-style, pin-up girl would be thrilled to unwrap her presents to find a piece from the Holiday Collection - I know I would! To make sure you get her exactly what she wants in the sizes she needs, go to the website and search for her wishlist. Ladies, make sure you create one in case your man goes looking for it!
