Thanks to Amy Lee, Lady Gaga, Madonna, Katy Perry and Rihanna the corset has made a huge come back in to the mainstream from the dark corners of Victorian Goth wardrobes. Remember how Emma Stone from the movie Easy-A pulled off the bustier and jeans look flawlessly? Well, you too can rock this look but keep in mind that this is more suitable for your nightlife rather than school or work. If you are daring enough to wear one for daytime wear, make sure to pair it with a see through blouse, a loose silk peasant blouse underneath or a jacket on top to make sure you don't turn too many heads.

Pairing up corsets or bustiers with jeans or pencil skirts is a great look for a night out. When selecting one, keep in mind that the right bustier will minimize your waist and lifts the bust. A bustier will not, however, take off twenty kilos from your weight miraculously and attempting to squeeze in to the smallest one will only achieve some degree of suffocation. Select a bustier which is two to four inches smaller than your natural waist measurement for best results and to avoid uncomfortable constriction. Don't forget to take your bust size in to account as a too-small bustier could flatten your chest and ruin the look you are trying to achieve.

When trying to match a ballet skirt, pencil skirt, layered gypsy skirt or a mini skirt, with a bustier, a shorter one will be ideal to create the right silhouette while longer versions such as basques would look great with jeans. Lace, satin and silks are ideal bustier materials which go well with many different looks. But bear in mind that the more exquisite the material, the more expensive the garment, so choose wisely and stick to your budget.

Check your local VICTORIAN DRESS boutiques and bridal stores for great bustier designs and be sure to try on as many as you can before you make your purchase. Selecting the right accessories such as jewellery, scarves and necklaces to go with your ensemble will pull everything together and finish off the look.
