Mad Girl Clothing

lilah wild — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 22:01:05 +0000

A substore of Pendragon Clothing that specializes in steampunk fashion. Men’s doublets, vests, and jackets decorated with distressed straps, tooling, and zippers, outfitting highwaymen and pirates and anybody thrilled by the prospect of concho snaps. The Women’s page is a bodice-fest of earth tones and industrial clasps and includes a bustled coat that pairs well with the corsetry. Accessories look to be on the way. Thanks, Miko!

Bibian Blue

lilah wild — Tue, 04 May 2010 22:19:44 +0000

Super-duper extravagant corsetry and fancy dress from Barcelona. The elegantly nipped waists are presented in Victorian buckles, circus stripes, tailored tartan, can-can lace, steampunk leatherette, gothic batty bustlines, industrial latches, and many other sumptuous permutations, often with skirts, pasties, jackets, and millinery to match. Bridalwear, too. Thanks, Sara!

Voodoo Dolly

A large catalog of alt brands, the usual suspects of Lip Service, Shrine and Stop Staring are here with Baby Tears, Evil Kitty, Honeydew Intimates and Limb. The styles are all over the map, swooping through goth, fetish, retro, and steampunk, with shoes and accessories to match.

Eeldrytch Armouree

lilah wild — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 22:21:18 +0000

Leather fashion from the Renaissance era, sculpted and scaled and dotted with bits of fancy metal. Reptilian armor, fierce bracers, studded jerkins, pentacle-emblazoned cinchers, druidy cowls, coin-studded mantles, engraved headbands and stick barrettes, gothy little pouches, baldrics and all the various hanging bits to keep one’s personal items about one’s belt. Custom is extremely welcome, to the point of the shop owners never getting around to installing a shopping cart – so contact for more info.

Joanna’s Wardrobe

lilah wild — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 18:51:14 +0000

A banquet of retro lingerie, loaded with girdles and garters and bullet bras from Pour Moi, Stockings and Romance, Vollers, What Katie Did, Gossard, Rosy, Kiss Me Deadly, and Playful Promises. The hosiery sports wide lace tops and Cuban heels, the cocktail sparklies are provided by Rukhsana, and there are crystal bra straps if this all just isn’t enough oomph.

Lilly Wiggler

lilah wild — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 22:32:56 +0000

Lingerie made in coordinating ranges of bras, undies, garter belts, pasties, and corsets, buyable by the whole set or a la carte. Polka dots, harlequin diamonds, Victorian satin, rockabilly tattoos, pinstripes, and the bridal section turns things white with a little sparkly headgear.

Bernie Dexter

lilah wild — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 17:47:13 +0000

Fashions from the ubiquitous pinup model, gathered from some of the brands she’s modeled for. Very good for the juvenile-delinquent side of retro, with high-waisted capris and collared tops alongside the vampy pencil skirts and farmer’s-daughter gingham tie tops. Corsets from Naughty Design present burlesque brocades and buckled PVC, the lingerie from Lucy B is straight out of fifties fetish reels, and her tight, wiggly collaborations with Versatelier are covered in fringe.

DollyQ

lilah wild — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 03:50:03 +0000

Corsetry unafraid of experimentation, mixing up skirting and fringe with fabrics and designs snatched from a gentleman’s wardrobe. Brown plaid is glammed up with a ruffled bustle, an admiral-inspired bit of cinchwear in cream and gold is finished off with a pair of chains, and one design features fan lacing that stretches around the sides to the anchor of a single bondage ring. Also panniers for extreme ballgown volume, or more avant-garde purposes.

Antiseptic Fashion

lilah wild — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 19:08:37 +0000

A small catalog of leatherworks with a touch of Mad Max. The corsets feature overlapping panels riveted together for a layered, asymmetrical look, wrapped with buckles in a couple of designs, and lacing is not confined to the back – it’s used in one piece for securing a high-necked top to a cincher while revealing maximum cleavage. The posture collars creep up over the chin and up the nose to mask the lower half of the face. Good unusual stuff for the more rugged terrains of fetishwear. Thanks Sara!

Lusty Leather

lilah wild — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 04:40:42 +0000

Medieval dressup grounded in solid ren-faire getups, and perfectly happy to buckle things up for fetish nights, too. Cinchers where unicorns dance along the front lacing, bodices for wenches and warriors and those who appreciate a fine bit of tooling, dagger bracers, belts and all the various attachments to clip on gear for drinking and fighting (and making phone calls), and the Dungeon takes things a bit darker with collars, cuffs, floggers, and sprinklings of O-rings. Custom welcome.

Glamour World

lilah wild — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 21:36:08 +0000

This Australian shop has specialized in plus-sized lingerie for over 30 years, and it is bustier heaven. Tons of styles from busked longline sweethearts boned for tightlacing to satin’n'lace gloriously tawdry 80’s bedroom confections, generally running from size 8 up through 26. Catsuits, shelf bras, tight little minidresses, thongs and french knickers, thigh-high stockings, a page of PVC, lots of sexy little things and they’re also crossdresser/trans friendly.

LoveHoney

lilah wild — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 03:51:36 +0000

A catalog of boudoir goodies, not just well-stocked with toys and lingerie, but providing plenty of guides and advice to go along with them. There’s a treat for every taste, from ElectraStim Electro Sex Packs to vibrating waterproof ducks in Santa hats, there’s some actual sturdy corsetry among the Music Legs and Dreamgirl, and this is the place to hit for glow-in-the-dark condoms. Forums are also present for the lively discussion of it all.

Burlesque Baby

lilah wild — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 21:33:26 +0000

Retro fashion of the tight and wiggly variety, with a predilection towards satin and leopard print. Bustier tops and blouses, pencil skirts, and clingy dresses, with corsets and cami sets and little nighties in the lingerie section. Accessories include tattooed purses and a robust shoe section perfect for pinup coordination. And for actual performances, they’ve got fans, parasols, and wigs that pay very close attention to the bangs.
