February's Featured Corsets

noreply@blogger.com (Orchard Corset) — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 22:53:00 +0000

February's Featured Corsets are up and running for a mere $69 or $89. Check out which ones we've picked for the Month of February.

The 1920's Pinstripe Underbust corset looks like something out of a modern day Bonnie & Clyde. Its one of our most popular styles and looks great for almost any occasion.

And the brand new Cranberry Ice overbust corset is a beautiful burgundy color with silver beaded trim. It sits low on the bust and has just the right amount of shine for an evening out or dancing at the club.

March is coming up quick and by the 15th, we should have our March Featured corsets figured out and priced at great discounts. Keep checking back, they are changing all the time.

February Featured Corset

noreply@blogger.com (Orchard Corset) — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 23:20:00 +0000

So far, we've had great success with the "Featured Corsets" monthly promotions. For January, we've got the Dynast Underbust Corset going for a mere $69 and the Black Satin w/ Champagne Accents going for $89.

But coming soon, we'll have our February Featured Corsets on sale. To give you a sneak peak, I laced up one of our OC gals earlier today and snapped a few pics. We weren't all professional on this one, I just wanted to get it on a body and show it off.

Take a look below at some of the pics we got today of this killer corset. We haven't named it yet, we've been calling it the cranberry corset or cranberry crush around the warehouse... If you've got an idea about what we should be calling it, let us know in the comments or send an email to katie@jlk-associates.com. We'd love to hear your ideas, questions or comments.

We've got several new styles of corsets up and running on our website.

The first, a traditional chinese look with the red polyester and metallic gold embroidery. A stunning underbust corset with just the right amount of dazzle.

The Red & Gold Dynasty Authentic Underbust Corset:

We also have the new Black Velvet overbust corset - is anybody else humming that Allanah Myles song with me?

Its a low-lying overbust corset made from premium black velvet fabric with a front steel busk and spiral steel boning. Back-lacing with high strength nylon laces and all metal grommets. A true beauty - one of our most versatile corsets.

We've also got this one in a deep blue and coming soon in forest green.

We have tons of new videos up on our YouTube channel. We're trying to keep our creative juices flowing while being able to showcase some of our new products.

We also had Jeff, our Manager and Co-Owner of OrchardCorset, share his vision about our corset line, show some of the differences between our fashion and authentic corsets, and announce his personal authentic corset guarantee. If you order one, receive it and don't like the style, the feel or cut or don't think its worth the money you paid, just send it back and we'll give you a 100% refund of the purchase price. No questions asked. We're pretty confident you'll love our new line of authentic corsets!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

noreply@blogger.com (Orchard Corset) — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 21:52:00 +0000

October is breast cancer awareness month and OrchardCorset.com is proud to support breast cancer research! Join with us in our hopes that we will soon find a cure!

For every pink corset (#CS-015) sold and for every item that is custom dyed pink, we will donate $5 to the Susan G. Komen foundation.

To help, all you need to do is pick one or more items from our "Think Pink" section. Look for a small pink ribbon next to each participating item. Add one or more of these items to your cart, complete your transaction and we'll do the rest!

Once you're done with the transaction, come back here to let us know how you've helped to find a cure, make your portion of the donation in honor of someone, or tell us how you've been touched by breast cancer. This part isn't at all required, we would just like to encourage others to get involved. Want to do more? Head over to the Komen foundation website to learn all about breast cancer and how to get involved in finding a cure!

I'll start the discussion...

My grandma was diagnosed with breast cancer about 15 years ago. She went through every treatment imagine-able and was finally in remission after a 2-year battle. After 7 years her cancer came back, but this time it was in her bones. She lived for a mere 6 months after her second diagnosis, but it was long enough to see her first great grandchild born. I know she's loving everybody from up in heaven, and she's probably got the biggest set of angel wings ever. But I still wish she was with us.

Every day I miss her, and every day I think about what life would be like now with the grandmother who made everybody feel like they were her favorite. I have a child of my own who will be turning 5 a week before the 9th anniversary of her death and one child on the way. They will never get to know the woman in my life who let me know she loved me without ever having to say it. Grandma Marty Erho, I miss you.

SNEAK PEAK

noreply@blogger.com (Orchard Corset) — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 20:35:00 +0000

Coming soon to OrchardCorset.com...

Custom Dyed Vedette Shapewear! That's right. Our most popular line-up of compression shapewear just got a bit more personal. Choose from our complete line of custom dye colors on either the strapped or the strapless underbust firm control latex corset, our best sellers!

The Vedette 103 Powerful Latex Waist Cincher (also known as the 149), looks absolutely stunning in custom dye colors. The fabric holds the dye brilliantly, while the delicate trim at the center closure repels most color leaving a subtle coordinating hue. Here's an example of the royal blue:

This garment sculpts the waist giving the wearer that ultra feminine silhouette while also providing back support, reducing the waistline, eliminating the "muffin-top", improving posture and giving the breasts a little lift. This design features a front hook and eye closure, has light boning to retain the shape and keep it from rolling, and lies just below the bust.

New mothers rave about the support and shape they receive from this item. Ideal for those women who wear figure hugging fashions, have a few more pounds to lose, or just need a bit of shaping. You will look and feel like a new women. Check out the purple:

We are also featuring custom dyeing on the Vedette 100 Powerful Strapped latex Waist Cincher (also known as the 150). This is our #1 best selling shapewear item. Featuring adjustable straps, front hook and eye closure, firm control latex, flat sewn seams, light boning, and high back cut. Here it is, custom dyed "Wine". Absolutely stunning.

These features help to reduce the waistline, shape the midsection, rid the wearer of backfat, give the breasts a dramatic lift, provide instant cleavage, while improving posture and providing back support. This garment is ideal for waist training, post-surgery, as a weight loss aide (when combined with proper and supervised diet and exercise), and is essential for new mothers. Don't believe me? Check out the reviews.

We are so excited to be able to offer this exclusive service of custom dyeing some of our incredible Vedette shapewear line. Stay tuned for the listings and new pictures online at OrchardCorset.com. In the meantime, if you can't wait to get your hands on a personalized piece of Vedette Shapewear, give us a call. 1.866.456.7411 We'd love to get something going for you.

New Corset Pics

noreply@blogger.com (Orchard Corset) — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 19:30:00 +0000

Elaine, our superior webmaster, got on the ball and updated the corset listings with some of the new pics already. She's obviously much faster than I am :) or at least on top of things.

Here are a couple that are up on OC.com.

The lovely Brittany seen here in the green Satin overbust corset... We're also getting this one in pink with black trim. So feminine, can't wait!

Here's the back... She had to hold onto the table while I was lacing her up :)

And Brittany again, in the Satin Underbust Corsets... Seen in Siren Red & Royal Blue.

These are also coming in a GLORIOUS pin-stripe, (which we are all coveting!) and beautiful black satin.

Another one of the OC.com gals modeled a beautiful satin brocade corset. I don't have pics for that one yet, but they will be coming soon. The brocade has a beautiful floral lace trim. Coming in black satin with gold floral leaf embroidery & colorful floral accents, a beautiful white brocade satin - perfect for the bride, and a wine colored brocade satin with similar gold leaf & floral accents.

I'm just loving these new corsets. Once they start taking off, we're working on even more patterns and even more fabrics and colors! Can't wait!

Video & Photo Shoot for New Corsets

noreply@blogger.com (Orchard Corset) — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 16:32:00 +0000

We had a video and photo shoot for our new line of authentic corsets yesterday. These babies are absolutely glorious. Premium Satin, Spiral Steel boning, all metal front busk, high quality grommets and laces. These corsets are stunning and they are traditional - meaning that they are designed for tight cinching and waist training. Beautiful and high quality. Check them out on our website (new pics coming soon).

Wow! What fun we had yesterday with some of us running around in corsets, others attached to a camera, others lacing furiously, and another directing her little model tush off. We all had our own experiences and talents that meshed together beautifully. Who would have known that a bunch of geeks and girly girls in a warehouse could pull off something so glamorous. Can't wait to show some of the pics from the shoot.

We also had our fearless leader taking "behind-the-scenes" shots of the shoot in action for me to share with you guys. I'll be going through the pics today and can't wait to get 'em up. So much fun!

In other news: We're still waiting on the winner of our latest sweepstakes, Mary Ellen, to claim her prize. Time is running out, maybe a new winner will be chosen. Stay tuned for details.

Also... OrchardCorset is now on Twitter! Follow us and be the first to know about special deals, promotions and new products.

A personal story with a Happy Ending...

noreply@blogger.com (Orchard Corset) — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 17:52:00 +0000

We received the following email from an actual customer when we sent out a follow-up email. Its very personal, and very inspirational. I asked for her permission to publish her story and was granted that permission with enthusiasm. Customers like this are part of the reason I love coming to work each day. Congratulations again, Penny - on your weight loss and for finding confidence and beauty in yourself.

Review,

Ok so I do have an opinion. Here's my story....

Beige 40 Vedette 150 POWERFUL Strapped Latex Waist Cincher
Color: Beige
Size: 40

I have actually purchased several of these. Initially starting with size 44 and currently in size 38. I have been dieting quite a bit and have been successful in loosing some weight. However, When this happens one suddenly ends up with lots of loose flabby skin that just hangs around. I was loosing weight and I wanted to look good. I wanted to wear tighter shirts. But I couldn't because I still had a roll, even though it was a roll of loose skin, it was still a very unattractive roll. With the Powerful Waist Cincher, I was able to manage that roll, hide the loose roll of skin and wear the tighter waist defining shirts that I wanted to without being embarrassed.

Years ago when I had lost quite a bit of weight, I lost it immediately in (1)my breasts and in (2)my chicken legs. Two places where I (1)didn't want to loose and (2) where I didn't need to loose. It was good to be loosing weight, but it did nothing for my figure. Currenty on my journey of loosing excess weight (60 lbs) I have had the Powerful Waist Cincher take the trip with me. This has helped me develop a waist again. I actually have a waist. I have lost the weight in my waist area and have kept my bra cup size. My legs are proportioned more evenly to my body as well.

Ok so I have to admit, Its embarrassing to be talking about my "roll of skin". Even my weight loss is an embarrassing subject. I mean who wants to be the girl who "lost 60 lbs" as everyones eyes bulge out of their sockets. But I did want to share this because I do have an opinion. I really am in love with my waist cincher. It has allowed me to feel sexy for once in my life. If someone dances with me and puts their arm around my waist, I don't have to turn red because I am worried they are grabbing or feeling my flabby skin. I can feel proud to be curvy - cuz let me tell you, I still have curves. And curves in the right places because I have the Powerful Waist Cincher. I wish someone told me these things existed. But truthfully, who is going to go up to the fat girl and says "hey, ever try a girdle?" It would have probably crushed me. I would have been embarrassed and got depressed. But in all honesty, what a solution to my issue!!!! I live in a small village town in Wisconsin, Its not like L.A. where I can just make an appointment to get fat sucked from my tummy and pumped into my breasts. I barely have enough money to puchase the Powerful Waist Cincher. But once I had it and realized what an impact it had, I couldn't be without it. I have at least purchased four. Starting in size 44,42,40, and now 38. I feel this is an accomplishment. But I guess I really appreciate someone providing these products. They have truly helped change my life. I am so much more confident and bold.

This Powerful Waist Cincher is my favorite style too. It gives me support both in the front and in the back. I like the straps that go over the shoulder because it doesn't buckle. All I need to do next, it get it in different colors :)

Thanks for letting me share.

We've just finished our Spring '09 "Review & Win" Sweepstakes and we have a $100 shopping spree winner... well, so far we've had two. The first winner, chosen at random, was Rachel from NY. Unfortunately, the email address she provided wasn't working, so we had to choose another winner. This time it is Mary Ellen from Wilmington, DE. We're waiting on a response from her so that we can officially publish the winner. She has until 6/15/09 to respond and still claim her prize. Keep your fingers crossed that she responds in time! If not, we will draw yet another winner... We promised that we would announce the winner yesterday. I guess I should have planned on waiting for the winner's approval. Next time, we'll give ourselves some time.

We collected quite a few reviews over the course of this sweepstakes and the next one is in the works right now. The details will soon follow. We're thinking about splitting up the prize to allow for more than one winner. I want to thank each of you that wrote a review, good or bad. We appreciate the feedback and I know that its easier as a customer to make a smart purchase when you have the opinions of people who have already had experiences with a particular item.

Keep writing those reviews, folks. I'll be featuring some of my favorites on this blog - some that are a bit too long for the format on product pages, and some that made me smile. And our next sweepstakes is coming soon! If you want to be kept in the loop about our current sales and sweepstakes, sign up for our newsletter. We'll send out the details of new promotions as they are made clear.

Congratulations again to Mary Ellen! Your $100 shopping spree is waiting for you!

We love to know what our customers think -- of our products, our service, our selection. We are constantly trying to find ways to collect opinions and comments and use them to make our sites better. Right now, we're focusing on our products, and we would like to know what you think! Seriously, let us know!

Right now, we're running a "Review & Win" sweepstakes with all of our JLK partner sites (OrchardCorset.com, GirdleZone.com, Crepe-Suzette.com and GalacticBra.com) for a $100 shopping spree valid at any of those sites on any item(s), any brand, any size you choose. All you have to do is write a review on a product that we offer in our stores. Simple, huh? We thought so too.

Go to your favorite JLK site, and navigate to a product that you have first-hand knowledge of. Ordered one of these from us? Borrowed your friend's? However you've gathered your experience, we just want to know about it and share it with other customers who are considering buying that item. So you say everything was perfect and it fit like a glove, you got compliments every time you wore it and have ordered three more? Great, write about it and let us know. But, what if you thought the straps weren't wide enough or that the color wasn't what you expected? We'd love to know about that too. Whatever your experience, we just want you to share it with us and other potential customers.

The great news? Each product review you write using your own words and experience will give you a new entry into the current sweepstakes. Cool, huh? Just make sure you include a valid email address so we can contact you if you win!

The Vedette brand is quickly becoming our best selling line of products, and so to celebrate its success, we have included over 15 new Vedette brand compression products with new styles, new fabrics, and the same fantastically supportive and comfortable designs we've come to love.

Here are a few of our new offerings for Vedette Spring Collection '09...

The Vedette 303 Braless Double Compression Body Shaper

This body slimming braless compression suit is designed to reduce your measurements in your waistline, abdomen and reduce the accumulated fat along your back.

It features adjustable straps, hook and eye front closure, a convenient hook and eye crotch closure, boyshort style bottoms with adorable lace trim, light mesh paneling in the butt for natural projection and comes in black or taupe.

May be worn with or without your favorite bra (bra does not come included).

Next, we have something a little bit different...

The Vedette 307 Slimming Latex Spanish Lace Body Reducing Shaper Thong

The Vedette 307 Reducing Shaper Thong sculpts and enhances the feminine form with Spanish lace and latex that band to shape the waist, control excess fat in your abdomen, and smooth your body.

The bodysuit shaper offers strong compression and control. The inner cotton layer is for comfort. The mid hevea latex layer covers all around the abdominal, hips and waist area. This layer has an amazing shape-memory and elongation capacity and when combined with the outer lycra layer, gives the garment an extremely strong compression rating.

Straps are removable and adjustable. Thong back for natural bum shape. Designed to be seamless when worn underneath skirts, dresses and suits, with or without a bra.

This particular body suit is called a reducer as well because the latex works while you wear it to make you sweat and reduce your measurements gradually while at the same time, instantly slimming and shaping your body.

And our two most popular compression garments from the new collection...

The Vedette 308 Slimming Latex Bust Lifting Body Shaper with a bust enhancing panel for lift and support.

This body shaper is designed with a strong compression waist cincher and a panty bottom. It has fixed adjustable straps and a scoop back. Seamless design that won't show up under your clothing.

It provides full compression support, instant shaping, slimming and flattening of the body, including the stomach, waist, hips and back. Especially helpful for maintenance and support after a cosmetic procedure/plastic surgery or body enhancement surgery.

and The Vedette 304 Strapless Double Compression Body Shaper

This double compression shaper is designed to reduce measurements along the waistline, abdomen and remove accumulated fat from the back. Two adjustable and removable straps, hook and eye front closure with convenince hook and eye crotch closure with boyshort style bottoms and lace trim. As with the 303, the 304 has light mesh paneling in the rump for natural projection.

You can wear this with your favorite bra, (bra not included) and with or without straps.
