One of Hearts

A few months ago I went on a hunt around the bay area to find the perfect vintage inspired corset, and to my sadness then, I couldn’t find what I was looking for. So you can imagine how super excited was I when a shop I was looking for called Dollhouse Bettie turned out to be a cute little lingerie shop!

I had no idea they were a vintage/ pinup inspired lingerie shop. I originally sought out Dollhouse Bettie because they are the only store in the Bay Area that sells Besame Cosmetics. The makeup turned out to be too light for me, of course, but surrounded by beautiful over and under bust corsets in amazing colors, and fabrics, sexy undies, and beautiful bras; that didn’t get me down one bit.

The lady and gent who were manning the fort were super sweet, and so helpful. As a first time corset buyer who didn’t really know what she was doing (does it go here or here? Ahh I’m bulgy!), I was more than grateful they were there to help me. The lady assisting me, whose name I didn’t get, I apologize, took my measurements, asked me what I was looking for and helped me find the perfect fit and color.

I walked out of this lovely shop with a black lacy number that enhances all the right curves and hides all the not so glam ones. There’s not a dame or outfit in the world that can’t be improved by functional, yet sexy, underpinnings. I guarantee it.
