As part of Midwest Fashion Week’s March events, Sweet Revenge will contribute to a short fashion show preceding a showing of the one woman play, Jamaica, Farewell. We’ve decided to do an unpredictable melding of lingerie, vintage and costume pieces in an effort to kick up our heels for spring. Corsets? Check. Dressing gowns? Check. Feathers? Naturally. Silks, lace, tiaras…this isn’t about reality, it’s about fantasy. Come indulge!
Watch a preview of the show aired on Indy Style (March 15th): three models show off some pieces for the fashion show. Sweet Revenge Lingerie designer, Catherine Fritsch, talks to the hosts about her line.
Cabaret Lingerie will be at the IndyFringe Theatre, $30 admission for the fashion show and play. See Events page for more information.
We had a great open house on February 4th, so I thought I would share some images! I decided to celebrate Valentine’s Day with a few corset looks. Pictured at left is a gorgeous corset made of deep purple velvet printed with gold, mixed with a purple and black ottoman fabric. It is fully boned and laces up the back; great with or without the vintage corset cover and petticoat (pictured).
Below is a bustier look in black and white print cotton. The bustier laces up the back for an adjustable fit, and has a zipper front closure. Fur pompoms on the zipper pull add a touch of whimsy. I’m mixing and matching polka dots and stripes for dizzy textural effect! The skirt is a lawn circle skirt with a double row of ruffles, caught up at the side a la burlesque dancers…the mini petticoat adds the final touch.
Corsets are a great way to enhance your figure–they can be worn as lingerie or as a fun touch to evening wear.
