Discovering new worlds - HD ready devices and leisure quests
Thousands upon thousands of tourists and day trippers flock to England's capital to explore the rich history and culture. A walk down any of London's small cobbled or back streets reminds you of times gone by and there is something romantic and secretive about the city where you feel you there are still so many nooks and crannies to explore. It is these roads, away from the main drag but still just behind or at the side of the main visitor attractions, which are just as fascinating for those who want to feel they are being lead through the real city. You can almost see old fashioned gentlemen in top hats and women with hourglass figures, wearing big bustles, petticoats and of course corsets. These boned garments were perfectly designed to accentuate and show off a Victorian London lady's fine figure, nipping in at the waist and fitting perfectly to her frame.
If you go on a mission to find the hidden gems of London you will really start to see the modern day city as well as the city where horses and carriages carried the fashionable of the city around the buzzing metropolis. Whilst a certain dress code was expected, today many women still like to wear these tight fitting tops which flatter their feminine lines. You might decide to go off on a trek alone with the family, or perhaps take your family along on a guided quest which takes you around the city through a series of clues and questions and offers a fun way to see the city in a different light. Women who wear corsets often do so because they like the fun, flirtatious feeling they get when they don these old fashioned but totally in vogue garments. They are burlesque and seen as attractive, a little racy and perhaps a little bawdy too, as well as great fun, light hearted and unique.
This sounds a lot like London too, the city, both in the Victorian age of bespoke tailored undergarments such as these and today, in the eclectic mix that makes London so timelessly attractive. It is the sight of the olde worlde charm of these clothes that attracts modern day women and it is undoubtedly that they represent a time in history and culture where women dressed to really emphasize their female form. Just as some of the modern architecture of the city can be extremely impressive, it is when you go on a mission or a quest to find the hidden gems that you find the real charm of the place. Just as modern styles go in and out of fashion, the trendy treasures you see today are often those garments which have never gone out of fashion. Dressing up is what London and fashionable ladies of London do well and anyone wanting a piece of that can be guided along, down interesting side roads without having to wear anything approaching a burlesque outfit to get the sense of time and place
