I am a huge fan of romance novels, but not the modern ones. I prefer the historic ones. You know... the mysterious stranger on the dark stallion, the headstrong misunderstood brilliant girl wandering the moors in her cloak, haunted Gothic manors, nasty selfish relatives, smuggling in a hidden cove, buried treasure, a family mystery, kidnapped onto a pirate ship, smoldering eyes, the hero defending his lady, ... You know, that sort of fun stuff.
Part of the fun of romance novels comes from imagining one is the heroine in these grand adventures, imagining dressing in these beautiful old-style clothes -- the gowns, the petticoats, the stockings, the cloaks, and, most exciting of all, the corsets. There are many styles of corsets to choose from, especially now that one can buy anything over the internet. You can get basic underwear style corsets, corsets that are worn over clothes, corsets that are part of the dress, and corsets that are primarily meant as lingerie worn in the home. I found this corset on a computer search and think it is the epitome of romance! I'm drooling. So gorgeous! The passionate romantic burgundy wine red color, the ribbons, the ruffles, ... Would I wear it out? It'd be tricky wearing under clothes because of the ribbons and ruffles.
