For corsets, I used to model for an Edwardian corset maker called Hoss. They're located in downtown LA near the mart. They do a few vinyl styles as well as mostly double-lined satin.

There's also a store on Haight in San Francisco that sells metal boned corsets in satin asian prints. They're sturdy and the real deal at both these places.

There's a 1930's style dress store on Haight east of Ben and Jerry's in SF that I highly reccommend. If you're looking for a formal beaded gown that clings to your bum, this is the place. All the accessories and store decor really make you feel like you're in Paris or old Hollywood. They have lots of sparkly accessories for any budget.

www.pinupgirlclothing.com does have some basic sexy swimsuits and dresses although ttheir line has been pretty much the same for years. They do have bright prints and good shoes.

Very cool links, thanks!
