This years fall/winter 2012 New York Fashion week ended yesterday and we anxiously await the spring/summer collection in September. For those of you in New York a long with one of our stores, we hope you got to enjoy it.



As for some of colletions shown, we were very excited to see on Day 3 the Herve Ledger collection by Max Azria and Monique Lhuillier. Digging into the darker side of equestrienne... fashions, this collection mixes leather harnesses, body skimming outwear, fur, and corsets for a hot new trend. With a tasteful take on strappy buckled leather harnesses and restrictive corset belts accessorized this season’s almost Medieval flavour look. This new collection is yet more proof that while the high street groans under cheap imitations of the bandage style, this is a label that continues to hit refresh.

YAY!! Go Corsets! always in style, always fashionable.. that's why we love them and the ideas they generate!!

Brand New Corset Styles, CS-426 Maroon & Gun Metal Gray

We have added two new colors/fabrics to the lineup for our ever popular CS-426 longline contoured underbust corset.  Introducing the CS-426 Shimmering Maroon Corset.  We had this corset available for Pre-Sale and had such an amazing response that we had to re-order before we even got our first shipment.  Three sizes had sold out before it even arrived!  Such a beautiful corset.  We are pleased to tell you that it has only been on sale for 2 months and is already in the top 10 corset sales for this year! The positive response we had to this beautiful Maroon corset inspired us to add yet another CS-426 Longline Contoured corset. So we did.  Also introducing the CS-426 Gun Metal Gray Corset.  A beautifully dark metallic gray satin outfits this corset from top to bottom.  It is high-shine and very strong and has real depth to the color.  We didn't have a chance to pre-sale this corset, but it has had a similar response and is selling very well.  We are in the works for developing another 426 style but don't want more of the same, so we're trying to push the envelope a little and see what fabrics/patterns, etc will work well for us.  We are excited to be unveiling the new addition in the next few weeks, so stay tuned.

Featured Corsets

Oh, hello there. We have a blog? Oops...

My other duties have left updating this blog down on the totem pole. For those of you who follow and subscribe to our feeds, I apologize for the lack of updates. The awesome news is that we have been busy despite the economic slump and we are so thankful for that. We have even expanded our corset line to include new colors, new designs and so far we have had a lot of really positive feedback. Stay tuned for new releases and hopefully more regular updates.

Our featured corsets specials are quite popular and we have two months overlapping right now. For March, we have been featuring the Regal Pleated in emerald green and the Highland red plaid underbust. Both of these corsets have been featured before during different months and both are available in other colors as well.



And we've also got April's featured corsets up and running right now. The CS-411 White Pinstripe is a beautiful and quite underrated corset. Its got enough character to attract the spotlight but can be demure in the right setting. Then we've also got the funky and fun 411 Polka Dot overbust. This corset is available in an underbust as well and is absolutely adorable. The perfect amount of curve and an abundance of flirt!

Do yourself a favor and pick up one or all of these featured corsets while the price is hot. You won't regret it!

New Design & Layout

So, what do you think of OrchardCorset.com v2.0? We are pretty much in love with it over here at OC headquarters. Besides being elegant and streamlined and overall just much prettier, we have some new features too that we're digging...

Did you notice the new product layouts? It gives you all the important info right up front like price, savings, reviews and sizes available before we get all long-winded on you and give you the description.

How about that sidebar over there? Its got easy access to categories from any page on our site with no searching around, links to sizing charts and a new release notice too so you can keep up with new products we've added to our lineup.

Also, we've got quick links at the top of every page to our Shipping info, Return Policy and Shop by Brand feature that makes our policies readily available and your favorite brand easy to locate.

What you might not notice is the handy social bookmarking links that are now a part of every product description. You can "like" an item and post it directly to your Facebook profile; bookmark something you love so you can easily come back to it or share it via email, twitter, myspace or several other venues; spread the word about your favorite corset; give your significant other a hint for gift-giving purposes; or tell your friend about an item you think they'll love! All from the product page itself. No more copying and pasting.

We hope you love our new design as much as we do. Let us know what you think, would ya?
