Beautiful ! And so feminine !

The bejeweled Christian Dior is calling my name. You always find so many lovely pieces to feature. I should love to own all of these corseted gowns! :)
That first image is beyond gorgeous!!!
Also love the Donna Karan one.
Lovely images! I love corseted gowns.
I love these gowns, but never look good in this style. I think they look good on women who have a little more going on up top =) Gorgeous and I wish they looked good on me! Great post Carrie!

Corsets make every woman's figure gorgeous. So happy to designers are bringing back the hourglass.

I love the fitting on corseted gowns/dresses. They can make anyone look so classy and elegant.
love the second one
corests just seem to make any outfit that much more sophisticated!
these are truly amazing. Love them.. very inspiring. I wish i could one day make beautiful dresses like these =)
The one from Chinese Vogue is to die for. Where pray tell does one get Chinese Vogue here darling?
The one from Italian Amica is my favorite... now when would I wear it? I need to start getting invited to more red carpet soirees and galas, so I can dress in corseted gowns and other impractical fashions...!
Love the 2nd image/dress from Amica!
I want to wear the green one with my battered olf All Stars :)
Loving Viktor & Rolf this season!!!

FAB gowns... I need one for lounging around the house while blogging... maybe even while painting... hmmmm... it could become a work of art too when a drop drip spill paint on it... oooh FUN!
Bon week-end mon amie!
Fifi
These corseted gowns are gorgeous. I love this style. I love the dark blue one with the flowy bottom. It is fab. :)
How many yardsssss of fabric that VictorRolf gown darling... so fab*
Great weekend dear CC! xo*
Sigh, this is such a beautiful post CC. My fave are of course the Dior and Versace! The Versace is a very interesting and modern interpretation of such a traditional silhouette, yet still wearable!
Every piece is gorgeous of course, but I wonder if one has to be tall in order to look "right" in a corseted gown?
what an awesome gowns, CC!
wish i own one of them.
i like d Reem Acra dress :o]
thanks for checking out my video!
ah! i love them ALL! gorgeous post, lady!
God knows I've got the jewelry to wear...if only I had the occasion to wear one of those lovely gowns!
I love the one from China vogue the second picture, its gorgeous!
Ohhh I love corseted gowns!! hides the bulges and nips the waist..=P Corset gowns make me feel so womanly..

These gowns are absolutely amazing! I love couture dresses on the runway. And corseted gowns definitely add a lot of sex appeal. Great post, Carrie.

Love the look, but my absolute fav is the first - stunning! I'm a sucker for anything with that 50's poof.

These are all so amazing!! I fell head over heels with a Betsey Johnson corseted wedding gown last year. Saw it in person at Betsey's store in NY and nearly died. I'd love to get married in this style gown.
Such gorgeous eye candy in this post!
