One fashion designer makes a big statement against the "no more size 0 models on the catwalk" rule… instead of sending a size 0 model down his 30th anniversary fashion show catwalk, Jean Paul Gaultier sends a size 20 model.

Big is beautiful in Paris - this size 20 model is wearing a corset, sexy pantyhose with garters, and a sheer black nightgown.

This weekend I bought a satin bustier from La Senza that I plan to wear under my wedding dress. Unfortunately they do not have it on their website, or I’d show it, but here is a similar one. The features that sold me were:

• satin
• lace up back
• eye hook front opening
• strapless option
• padded cups for great bustier style
• comfort was high
• long on the body for seamless fit

The Venetia corset is a vision in white. And it is the most popular corset, by far. I can totally see why too! Makes me want to change my mind on my own bridal corset!!

The Venetia corset is made of thick, jacquard tapestry satin. This strapless model features a gorgeous Venice Trim along the bustline and hip line. The front features hook and eyelet closure. Boning throughout this item gives a beautfiiul silohouette of your feminine form. The design of this corset has a natural push-up of the bust, creating a devastingly sexy look. The back closure is a ribboned cross lace-up, allowing you to cinche up the waist line. This is a classic corset. Remember, when putting on the corset, lay the corset flat, giving the back lace-up about 3 inches apart. Hook up the front from top to bottom and then continue to tighten the back one cross at a time. This outfit comes with matching thong panties and adjustable/detatchable garters.

Available at angelbodywear at a sale price of $59.

That’s the question that has just been answered. Charlize Theron’s Corset Creation has been sold for a record high amount at Frederick’s of Hollywood’s Lingerie Art Auction. The satin and beaded corset sold for $18,000.

More than 100 celebrities helped raise funds at the auction, which benefited the Tuberous Sclerosis Alliance. Other corsets were designed by Nicole Kidman, Jessica Alba, Tea Leoni, Sandra Bernhard and Julianne Moore.

“It is thrilling for Frederick’s to be part of such a creative and worthwhile event,” said Linda LoRe, president and CEO, Frederick’s of Hollywood. Each year, we look forward to collaborating with Hollywood’s biggest names to create pieces of wearable art for a great cause.”

Additionally, eight corsets were sold via a silent auction during the course of the event. Celebrities such as Kiera Knightley, Susan Sarandon, Reese Witherspoon and Sela Ward lent their designs to the cause. Ms. Ward’s handmade corset brought approximately $2,000.

Some of the corset hightlights include:

* Tea Leoni’s design includes a detailed 3-page sketch, outlining the precise details for development.

* Tori Amos’ “Midsummer’s Night Dream” corset was personally crafted by the singer. Her corset is accompanied by a story she wrote that explains each element of her design.

* Racing enthusiast Patrick Dempsey decorated his corset with patches and checkered-flag ribbon.

This corset caught my eye because it was over the bust and therefor could be worn as part of your outfit - yes, for all to see.
