LOS ANGELES, Jan. 27, 2009 — This Valentine's Day, premiere plus size lingerie site, Hips & Curves, is now offering the first in its line of affordable European Steel-Boned Corsets to its plus size customers. While many shoppers have limited purchasing power in 2009, Hips & Curves' corset has been developed with budget constraints in mind. While competing corsets of the same quality retail for $350 – $450 and up, the "Duchess" Steel-Boned Corset is being offered by Hips & Curves for $149.95.
"For years I've wanted to design high-quality, affordable, steel-boned corsets, but couldn't find a way to make them affordable without compromising on quality," Hips & Curves President and CEO Rebecca Jennings said. "That didn't discourage me. No one else had done it, but that didn't mean it couldn't be done. I love a challenge and I love providing unique, hard-to-find items our customers can't find anywhere else."
Customers who wear the Victorian-inspired piece can comfortably reduce their waist measurement by two to four inches if they desire, and create a smooth, curvaceous silhouette. The Duchess Steel-Boned Corset is designed to complement and enhance plus size curves with a fuller cut in the bust, a steel busk for mega support, enhanced grommets, reinforced fabric, and an optional modesty back panel. Garter loops allow this item to be worn as lingerie as well as outerwear with a pair of jeans. Never again will curvy customers find themselves squeezing into corsets intended for a smaller-framed woman.
Hips & Curves' Duchess Steel-Boned Corset is available for $149.95 at hipsandcurves.com and is manufactured in Europe to ensure a quality product. Carefully contoured for an hourglass figure, this corset utilizes flexible steel boning under heavy duty satin. It is offered in a black and antique pink colorway with ruffle bust trim and a ribbon-lace front.
