Lingerie, Brulee and You

When beautifully cut, on-the-bias preferably for the best draping, certain lingerie pieces can make an outfit light, airy and very sexy. A corset under a blazer, a camisole under a cardigan, there are lots of options.

In the late 70's, Josie Natori created the Natori Campany, famous for their beautiful lingerie that can be worn to bed or out to dinner. This was the first real foray into undergarments as outerwear. We saw this trend emerge as slip dresses again in the late 90's. Today, it reinvents itself with visible boning, corseting and adjustable straps.
