On My Wishlist: Gossard Sequins!

Hey Gals! Do you remember these high waisted sequin knickers I was lusting after a couple of years ago?  Well, I have finally found a version that is attainable! Gossard has an amazing sequin set out right now that is va va voom and ready for holiday parties! You know how much I love Gossard, from this post and this post.  It's safe to assume, these will be mine! 

The bra is very padded and push-up. Did I mention va va voom before? Not kidding. They retail for $89.  The bottoms are not as high waisted as my inspiration from two years ago, but they are high waisted and do the trick. I love them! They retail for $41. Available here.

On My Wish List: Gossard's Retrolution

Gossard has recently come out with a retro inspired collection, called Retrolution. It has been on my watch list for a while.  It has a fine mixture of retro styling and modern sculpting fabrics to help you out in all the right places. A few pieces are on my wish list: 

The Retrolution Slip will give you curve and smooth lines under your sexiest vintage dresses and pencil skirts.  I need this! It also comes in nude- which is a must have and a great bridal piece.

However, the two piece set is what I'm really lusting over. I'm not going to lie, I already purchased this Staylo Plunge bra so it is no longer on my list. I bought it at work (no horrible day job, here!)  and am now waiting for the Waist Cincher to arrive. The bra is very padded, which for me takes some getting used to. What I love, is the deep V plunge and longer line. I am dying for that high waist cincher panty though!! That is still on my wish list, but hopefully not for long. 

What do you think? Do you have any of the Retrolution pieces? Do you want them? Would you wear it? 

My View: Lipstick, Corselettes, and Curls!

It's so hard to follow everyone on every social media channel these days. I know I can't keep up! Here's a review of some of my recent Instagram pics. To keep Instagram, you know, instant, follow me @bobbinbombshell!

My new Guerlain lipstick! The case is a pop up mirror. So James Bond and the shade, Genna, is a perfect red! Guerlain made the first bullet tube of lipstick. They have not stopped innovating! 

Oooh La La! My new Gossard Corselette!  You may remember me gushing over vintage Gossard corsets here.

And then here's my evolution of naturally straight hair to vintage curls: 

1. The wet-set is in place. I wear these all day and to bed! 

2. The next morning- pre brush out.

3. Ready to go to work! 

Fashionable History: Gossard

The gorgeous high quality lingerie from Gossard, we know today started in Chicago at the turn of the 20th century. Henry Williamson Gossard founded the HW Gossard Co. in 1901 with the desire to produce top quality bras and corsets. By the 1920's Gossard was exporting goods to the UK and producing revolutionary designs like corsets that laced up in the front instead of the back.
In the 1930's Gossard relocates to the UK and becomes a British company where it is still in business today.

In the 1950's Gossard introduces lightweight girdles, and perma-lift bras. In the 60's the Wonderbra is introduced. With one hand on innovation and the other on the pulse of what women want, Gossard has become one of the top lingerie brands in the world.

Here is an example of an early 20th century corset. It is available in my vintage shop, Femme Fatale Vintage.
