>> So again on the Victorian influence I've been feeling: their emphasis on the waistline is really starting to filter its way into my dress. Which is why I've suddenly become obsessed with with these big, wide belts -- corset belts, to be exact. AMA Handmade has some beautiful waist cinchers (left), and from what I can see, ebay has some interesting stock as well. Perfect for feminizing that shirt dress we were talking about the other day.
There's another waist-centric accessory that has been intriguing me -- the bustle. Also Victorian influence, bustles have been in the back of my mind ever since I saw this YSL one in Nylon back in March. I came across this taffeta belt (right) today at Yoox -- kind of a modern-day bustle. I'm really tempted, but I'm not sure it's a $75-down-the-hole type of temptation. I guess I'll just leave it the decision in limbo for a while more.

I love anything that cinches my waist. It's so sexy, but I don't think I could pull off something like what you showed.
I'm gonna go with no on the bustle-belt. It just looks like one of those things that is of a fabric too modern to match a vintage feel, and too fluffy/froofy for other looks. You could probably get the same effect by getting a skirt that clings tightly to your rear and then falls straight to the ground. (Again just my 2 cents- I understand the strange allure clothing items can sometimes have no matter what.)
