Introduction

The term ‘control wear’ is a relatively recent one. At one time these garments were called stays then corsets or girdles. The word ‘corset’ has old fashioned connotations so no doubt with modern materials and technology there is a need to find new ways to modernise the concept of body control garments. It seems quite clever to me to find such a good generic word to describe something which is a delicate subject (even unmentionable) and at the same time to promote such garments so that they become fashionable and popular. Somehow the term ‘control wear’ gives the right emphasis and explains exactly what it does.Control wear is a garment that affects the shape and line of the body to improve the basic silhouette before adding the outer layer of clothing

Desirable silhouettes

Every culture has its idea of the ideal figure for a woman, and all the women belonging to that culture will try to fulfil this ideal regardless of their natural propensity. Who determines how the perfect woman should look is debatable, but there is no doubt it is part of the mating ritual so that men will find a woman desirable and want to have her for his mate. Different cultures have different ideas of beauty and some cultures like their women fat, others like them thin. Sometimes it’s colour of hair or eyes, other times it’s body fitness, long legs, long necks or wide hips, but usually it’s the myth (often unconscious) that certain shapes, styles or colour will indicate the healthiest women for child bearing in order to fulfil our biological purpose to perpetuate the species.This is laughable particularly during the Victorian era because the distortion some women put their bodies through caused havoc with their internal organs and often damaged their reproductive workings.

When you look back through the centuries at the different styles of dress it becomes obvious that extremes of fashion usually appear at a time of affluence and leisure. It was only the very rich who could afford such luxuries of extreme styles. The poor had to make do with whatever they could find, or make themselves, to cover their bodies for warmth and decency. During times of hardship the styles became more practical and less elaborate. After the First World War some modern women shocked the world by wearing bloomer like trousers when riding the new contraption called a bicycle.During the First World War there was a revolution in women’s clothing. They needed to be more practical and manageable for the wearer as many women involved themselves in helping with the war effort.

In some ways things have not changed much today. The famous and wealthy spend an inordinate amount of time and money on what they wear and the way they look and aim to create an image of the perfect male or female form for the rest of us to emulate. To that end they go on diets, have surgery or inject Botox, spend time with personal trainers and work out etc. As well as all that they find a need to resort to control wear to make sure there are no bulges or creases to mar their perfect form.When I was a very skinny teenager, Marilyn Monroe and Jane Mansfield were the models for female perfection with large breasts and small waists. I had the small waist but that was about all. Later along came Twiggy with her thin body and legs and I would have been the required shape but alas by then I had produced three children and could now emulate the previous models.

The term shapewear is the general name for any items such as corsets, basques, tummy control panties or tights and even bust enhancing bras.

History of Control Wear and Body Shaping Forms

Throughout history there seems to have been a need to change the female form or to modify it in some way. If you look back to the Elizabethan times, their huge wide skirts and flat fronts made women look like cardboard cut-outs. The skirts were so wide they would have to turn sideways to pass through doorways. Later there came differing degrees of bust enhancement, hip or bottom enhancement, waist constriction and wide skirts, as well as all the many variations in sleeve styles, neckline and collars, overskirts, underskirts, I could go on forever.Changing the body line seems to have been an obsession from the mid 16th century

The earliest known control wear appearing during the 16th Century were called ‘pavre of bodies’ which contained the upper torso in the shape of a cone or cylinder. These forms later became the more familiar ‘stays’ which were made of wood or whale bone. The idea was to level the front of the body and in doing so push up the breasts so they bulged out of the top of the bodice. During one phase of the more promiscuous 18th century period, the nipples were encouraged to peep out, no doubt to titillate the male desire. Illegitimate babies were the norm and not treated as disgraceful during this time.

Stays were considered an essential item to keep the figure straight by supporting the back, tightening the midriff and improving posture. The restriction at the waist prevented bending and forced women to use their legs for lifting and thereby protecting their backs. Stays survived until the late 18th century when the empire style became into fashion around 1796. The bust was contained and pushed up by short stays and the waist line was just below the bust so that the natural waist line was concealed

When the waistline returned to its natural position the body restriction reappeared in the 1830’s. And the term ‘corset’ was used for the first time in English. Its purpose was to gird the waist and support the breasts. During Victorian times the ideal form was an 18 inch waist with a full wide skirt supported by hoops to the floor. Ankles could not be seen and busts were emphasised but covered with lace for modesty. The shape I guess was determined by the natural figure of the young Victoria but exaggerated to create a fashion. To obtain this line the women forced themselves into whalebone corsets which were long, extending down beyond the natural waist line thus resulting in serious body-shaping. They were laced at the back therefore a maid was required to fasten the laces as they could not dress or undress themselves. To produce a tiny waist some women would have the corset pulled so tight they could hardly breathe. This then pushed the breasts upwards and compressed the internal organs.

During this period fainting was an art and it came easily when there was no room to breathe and everything else was squashed; added to that, the night air was considered bad for your health, so evening events became hot and stuffy. As a result dancing could cause women in the most robust health to feel lightheaded so it’s not surprising women appeared to suffer from indifferent health. Anyone carrying excess pounds will benefit from a body shaper to give the appearance of a firm torso.

During the Edwardian period at the beginning of the 1900’s the Victorian style was replaced by the new look shaped profile. The bosom was raised and large, the waist small with a large bustle at the back to create a completely unrealistic female shape. The front of the skirt went straight down to the feet and there were many flounces tiered down from the back often with trains for formal occasions which had to be picked up and held whilst walking or dancing. Later to build on this shape, leg-o-mutton sleeves were added for day wear; although for evenings low necklines and short capped sleeves were the norm. These elaborate dresses cost thousands of pounds in today’s money so that again only the prosperous could dress in this way. The average woman had to make do with home-made copies or just plain gather skirts and plain bodices.During periods when there was a shortage of women, probably due to hard work and having too many children, the men became the most fashion conscious and dressed in bright colours to attract the females, while the women wore dowdy colours and wore the hair pulled back and plain.

What is Wrong with our Natural Shape?

When you see the pictures by Degas of ladies bathing you will see that they are well rounded with tummies, big bottoms and legs probably with cellulite and well developed breasts. Very few of the women would be under a UK size 16. They still wore stays but mostly I suspect it was to support the breasts rather than reduce the thighs and hips. Gok in his TV programme ‘How to Look Good Naked’ encourages women to be positive about their bodies and focuses on choosing the right clothes to accentuate their best features. His success lies in the fact that after they have gone through this transformation, the women all feel much more confident and happy with the way they are.

However choosing the right foundation garments is essential to improve posture and create a smooth line to provide a good basis to make the most of the clothes that are placed on top.Women were designed the way they are for a reason, why should we go to so much trouble to change what is natural?

Modern Control Wear - What Spanx can do for you

Modern control wear offers women the option of support and clean lines, without the restriction of movement experienced with the old fashioned corset. Spanx power panties seem to be the latest rage in control wear these days. I have not actually had the pleasure myself but I remember a friend saying to me last year ‘Power Panties are wonderful’. Old fashioned corsets are still worn by some people but gradually as the younger generation feel the need for some form of support they are looking to the more modern control wear used by celebrities such as Gwenyth Paltrow, Oprah Winfrey, Kylie Minogue and even Madonna. Sarah Blakely the founder of Spanx could not find footless pantyhose to go with her cream trouser and open toed shoes. In her frustration she set out to tackle the 2 billion dollar hosiery industry. Within 2 years she had perfected a product that combined all the elements women love about underwear and changing all the elements they don’t like to provide a comfortable slim-line look with no VPL (Visible Panty Line). She started an underwear revolution selling 50,000 of her Power Panties in the first three months and revolutionised an industry that was in a ten year slump.

Basques - Corsets on the Outside

In the more recent years of control wear there appeared a fashion accessory modelled on the old fashioned style corset but worn on the outside of the clothing. It seemed designed to show off the slim torso and enhance the breasts by lifting them. These were usually worn over a flimsy blouse type top, and were fashionable over the Christmas party period. The bodice was boned and came to a point at the front just below the waist. It could be worn with a skirt or even over trousers. You can have Spanxs fishnet tights combined with control panty that slim your tummy, thighs and rear.

This model of corset is still available as underwear and is known as a ‘corset basque’ or a ‘busk’ and is reminiscent of the dress bodices seen in cowboy films worn by ‘the heart of gold’ hostess at the town’s hotel saloon. They are boned and shaped to create the traditional hour glass figure and are similar to the Victorian corset. Some are laced at the back but with no maids, very difficult to do up. There are high cut legs and longer lines, often with suspenders so create that popular striper-gram look. The Basque corset is often seen in shops selling erotica or Gothic fashions.

Some important points to consider when wearing control wear are:- uplifting pants will firm the bottom; Padded bra’s will enhance the breasts; a padded plunge gives a great cleavage; corsets and waist nippers will take inches off the waist but most importantly, if flesh should escape at waist or thigh it means your control wear is too tight.A good basic outline will enhance any clothes that are worn whatever the occasion.

Conclusion

When you look at the history of fashion it seems that women are never satisfied with the shape they were born with. Today more than in any other time in history we are allowed to have a more normal shape, but even that has to be contained, smoothed, uplifted or cinched to make the female body more than perfect.There are now several programmes on TV which are promoting the message that natural is good and we are fine the way we are. A little improvement here and there to make the most of the assets you have is as much as you need to do. It is reported that men in general prefer women to look real which for them is sexier than the extravaganza women think men want. Obviously they have their preferences for type and size and shape, but we can’t be all things to all men and the sooner women realise that, the more comfortable they are going to be.

Since the appearance of Power Pants control wear lingerie has been transformed. Sarah Blakely has been described as the Pied Piper of the ‘wobbly bits brigade’ and her success has reached £250 million in global sales in the last year. Her products have become ‘the control wear to have’ and are worn by all the ‘best people’. There is a stigma for men wearing control wear so that they will not go out and buy such an item but wives and girlfriends are doing it for them. Manx the male version of Spanx is available on line and is promoted as a back support while playing golf, being good for posture and long car journeys.

At the end of the day we all want to look our best and if that means wearing a control wear garment that is what people will do. People both men and women want to be liked and admired and all the fashion contortions are just to fulfil our dreams of being the chosen one, the most beautiful or most popular. So however much we might like to believe we don’t need these gimmicks, we all pay homage to them in one way or another.

Some people mistakenly believe that they will do better at negotiating an offer going solo without a real estate agent. Most of the time, however, this just is not true. Actually, the exact opposite is true. Most buyers who have tried going solo without an agent regret it. In fact, studies show that using a buyer’s agent can pay handsome “dividends” when it comes to your Portland real estate transaction.

It’s nice, of course, that you are not required to pay the commissions up front — her commission comes from the seller’s proceeds and was definitely calculated into the asking price of the house. But the real benefit is that you can save significant money on the bottom line at the end of the day.

Hiring an experienced real estate pro on your team when you’re entering into a contract where a lot of money changes hands is simply good idea on its own merit. But add to that the potential boost to your bank account as a result of the experience a real estate agent can bring to the table and it should be a no-brainer. There are far too many ways to loose your hard-earned cash on a deal not to have someone who negotiates Portland real estate purchases day in and day out to keep the information (and signatures) flowing smoothly.

The Auction House is one of the least physically risky places in the World of Warcraft. You don’t have to worry about bloodthirsty orcs or marauding centaurs breaking in. You can go about your business and hopefully earn some gold. On the other hand, there is nothing but physical danger all around you if you find yourself in the Dragonblight. It is one of the most forlorn places in the entire World of Warcraft. It is a land of snow and ice where dragons go to die. The only moving creatures you will find are undead parasites hiding among the bones of the great beasts.

Occasionally a quest will take you to the fringes of this world; earning Dragonblight gold is a mark of a very brave warrior. It may soon be that many people have to cross the Dragonblight as there is a rumor that it is the best way to reach the Lich King.

However, in the meantime, it might be better to stay closer to home and get your gold through the Auction House. Even though the physical dangers are less there, there are still a great many mental challenges as you navigate through the principles of supply and demand to try and turn a profit on your purchases.

It may seem a little counterintuitive that you can make WOW money by buying things, but that is actually true.

If you have the time to hang around the Auction House and at least ten gold to your name, then you can start to make a profit buying low and selling high. The first to maximizing your purchases is to watch the markets for about a week. See what items are selling for what prices. See if the price of certain items is higher on a weekend than on a weekday.

See what commodities are plentiful and which are scarce. If you can find a veteran player who will share his long-term view of the Auction House, you are set. If not, you just need to keep observing.

After about a week of watching, you are ready to start buying. Look for items that are priced below their usual going rate or the rate they can reach on a weekend.

The middle of the week is a good time to find underpriced items; there are less people on the server and therefore less potential buyers. If someone needs to earn gold from a sale, they will price their item to sell. Then, just hold onto the item until the weekend and you should be able to sell it for up to double what you paid. Continue to reinvest your profits and soon you should find yourself with a tidy sum.

Buying low and selling high is a steady way to earn income. It is also fun, especially if you use economic principles in your real world job. While Dragonblight gold can be very exciting to earn, sometimes the risks involved will chase you back to the safety of the Auction House.

To learn more about how to make WoW gold, a good World of Warcraft gold guide is recommended.

Producing Healthy and balanced Dirt

If you’re planning to begin your own vegetable garden enterprise, you’ll want to prepare your soil to ideally house your plants. A good thing to do in your own soil preparation process should be to reach the perfect mixture of sand, silt, and clay. Preferably there would be 40 percent sand, 40 percent silt, and 20 percent clay. There can be different types of tests utilized by experienced gardeners to tell whether the soil posesses a good composition. First of all you can compress it inside your hand. If it does not hold its shape and crumbles without any outside force, your sand ratio likely will be a tad high. If however you poke the compressed ball with your finger and it does not fall apart easily, your soil contains an excessive amount of clay.

If you’re still uncertain regarding content of your soil, you are able to separate each ingredient by making use of this easy method. Put a cup or two of dirt into a jar of water. Shake the water up until the soil is suspended, then allow it to set until you see it separate into 3 separate layers. The top layer is clay, the next is silt, and on the bottom is sand. You ought to be able to judge the existence of each component within your dirt, and act accordingly.

After you’ve analyzed the content of this soil, if you decide it is low on a particular ingredient then you should definitely want to do something to fix it. If combating an excess of silt or sand, it is beneficial to add some peat moss or compost. If coping with too much clay, add a mixture of peat moss and sand. The peat moss, when moistens, helps for the new ingredient to infiltrate the mixture better. If you can not seem to manage to attain an ideal mixture, just go to your local gardening centre. You can expect to be able to find some form of soil product to aid you.

Water content of the soil is another important thing to consider when preparing for your garden. If the garden is at the bottom of an slope, it is most likely going to absorb too much water and drown the plants. If this is possible, you must possibly raise your garden a couple of inches (4 or 5) over the rest of the ground. This could allow for more drainage and less saturation.

Adding nutrients to your soil is also an essential component of the task, as most urban soils have little to no nutrients already in them naturally. One to two weeks before planting, you must add a good quantity of vegetable fertiliser to your garden. Mix it in really well and allow it to sit for a while. Once you’ve done this, your soil shall be completely ready for whatever seeds you decide to sow in it.

Once your vegetable seeds are planted, you still want to take note of the soil. The first few weeks, the seeds are desperately depleting all of the nutrients around them to sprout into a real plant. If they run out of food, how are they supposed to grow? About 7 days after planting, you should add the same amount of fertiliser that you added before. After this you should continue to use fertilizer, but not as often. If you add a tiny bit every two weeks, that should be plenty to keep your garden thriving.

Basically, the complete procedure for soil care can be compressed into just several steps to be certain the makeup of the soil is satisfactory, don’t neglect to have proper drainage in your garden, add fertilizer before and after planting, adding fertilizer regularly after that. Follow these simple steps, and you will have a plethora of healthy plants in no time. And if you need any further details on an individual step, just head over to your local nursery and enquire there. Many of the employees will be more than able to offer you advice.}

Most large businesses do not have one person who acts as being the voice for the company. Some businesses break this rule and use their CEOs as the organizations face, Steve Jobs of Apple computer would be one, and also Richard Branson of Virgin, for example, but this isn’t typical.

A smaller businesses image is more driven by its owners. Smaller businesses can exploit this single point of contact by using the business owner or head consultant’s headshot as part of the brand. Utilizing a photo in such a manner is definitely a unique touch to provide a point of consistency across all marketing materials.

Large companies typically will need to bring in a very large number of consumers to become successful to generate a healthy bottom line and uphold the business infrastructure. In the case of many corporations, the more clients, the more business and the more growth.

Smaller companies would not need to entice a large customer base. Smaller companies are most likely not equipped to fill large product or service orders or to have enough staff to handle a large number of requests for their goods or services. Many small businesses offer goods on a local or regional level preventing the need for branding beyond a geographic area of business.

Even though it’s still important for small companies to create a brand that appeals to its target audience, it could very well be possible to focus strategically and still generate lots of customers to keep and increase their business.

Many larger businesses can often afford to produce more emotionally driven branding pieces, for example commercials or ads not having a specific call to action or branding message. Smaller businesses must be sure that each and every marketing piece is highly effective and delivers as much bang as possible for the marketing buck. Smaller businesses can enhance the effectiveness of their marketing pieces by focusing each marketing piece on one specific offer. Any time you try to sell the entire company and solution system in one marketing piece you will not have the capacity to be specific about any one service or product.

A call to action should be built into every marketing piece produced. Should they go to your website to get more detailed information? Should they contact you or register for a teleseminar? Should they subscribe to your mailing list? When you inform them how to proceed next, it’s much more likely they will do it.

Big companies often have the budget and staff to create substantial print and online campaigns. Smaller businesses need to focus their marketing because lack the large marketing budgets and the staff required to manage the different kinds of comprehensive campaigns afforded by large companies. Create the number of marketing materials which you can actually get out to your customers without breaking the marketing budget.

Finally, big companies can make the time to teach their target market what their company does and what their logo and images mean. For a small business, instantly meaningful brand designs can be that much more valuable as a communication tool. They’ll carry an important part of your business’s story, even before the customer or prospect begins to read your information.

Brand marketing is not only just for the Big company. Customers in every community are usually influenced to act on your message without regard to the size of your company. Observing what large companies do online, on the radio or on television will likewise work for small business on a much smaller scale.
