From Underwear To Outerwear, The Evolution Of The Corset

Corsetry has come a long way since the 15th century days of the handmaiden lacing the noblewoman so tightly that she could scarcely breathe. Corsets began as tools to shape a woman's body, permanently in many cases. They were hard, ugly, unbending and never meant to be seen - certainly not by men. While the modern corset is often used for the purpose of shaping, the effects are less permanent and the garment itself is usually meant to be viewed - often in the bedroom, but recent trends have corset like garments mixing with jeans and skirts as clubwear or even casualwear. Check out the SLIDESHOW for 5 corsets that look smashing on the outside!

Sex and the City Style: Miranda Wins Our "Most Improved" Award!

Ambitious attorney Miranda Hobbs has a no-nonsense, conservative, practical approach to fashion best labeled as corporate-chic. Although her style was often overshadowed by Carrie's avante-garde looks, Samantha's saucy style, and Charlotte's classically chic look, she definitely has her gal pals beat by a long shot in the Most Improved category with a style that evolved tremendously through the course of the series. As Miranda's tough-as-nails character softened, her hyper-androgynous, ultra-conservative style gave way to a softer, sleeker, more feminine one. For day, Miranda keeps it sleek and unfussy with tailored pants suits, clean lines, sensible shoes, and basic colors. For nights out with the girls, however, she proves that she too has a knack for fashion with slinky dresses, graphic prints, bold accessories, and more body-con silhouettes. As the anticipation for the Sex and the City movie mounts, let's take a look back at some of Miranda's defining looks.
