The Shoes

It's been more than two weeks since I retired Jabba, my right boob, and I don't miss him at all. I don't feel embarrassed to go out in public, and, amazingly, no one seems to notice that I don't have a right breast. If people DO stare, I assume they are looking at the great clothes Jacqueline has made for me. Or they are admiring my smile and my sunny attitude!Talk about coming out of the closet. Another bonus--my back bothers me much less than it did when I wore Jabba. I think because Jabba was uncomfortable, I was fidgeting and fussing and it caused stress and tightness in my upper back. That's gone now.Here's the latest of the designs Jacqueline of Rhea Belle has made for me. She e-mailed me the photos, so the shirt isn't in my hands yet. (Wish my waist was anywhere close to as skinny as that of the dressmaker's dummy) When I get it I'll go out and take photos at some good Seattle spot--the Pike Place Market, maybe, or the Space Needle, and e-mail the photos to Jaccqueline for her blog. Jacqueline designs and makes Rhea Belle clothes, for one breasted or no-breasted women, like me. Her slogan: Not a statistic. More than fashion. It's a rebellion.See the Comfy Cotton Rusche, and more, on the slide show.Go to Jacqueline's blog, Rebel1in8.To order clothing, contact: Jacqueline@rebel1in8.com.@ Jeanne Sather 2007.

Now a days fashion and streetwear are becoming the same thing with mixes of styles that take influences from the past with a traditional style and look that is more perfumed of the 50 ' s or even the 20 ' s along with a gamut of styles that are influenced by modern streetwear and youth culture from across the world. < / p>

It is now more the fashion for someone to have a scale of different looks as opposed to one style. This means that a person could wear a designer suit one nighttide, a colourful streetwear T - shirt the next and finish the week with a mix of the two. < / p>

Traditional types of clothes like trousers and a T - shirt are still extremely popular but the styles and details on them are what makes them different. Fashion designers like to add different types and styles of logos, so clothes can either have big artistic prints or small detailed logos. < / p>

New terms like Streetwear and Urbanwear have been invented to categorise these new clothing trends and styles. Streetwear is used to describe clothing inspired by the street lifestyle and often incorporate urban themes such as graffiti and life on the streets. Urbanwear and streetwear companies are often started by people from the street such as graffiti artists and skaters. Addict and Fly53 are two companies who have had success by developing their brands like this. < / p>

Retro looks from the 40 ' s and 50 ' s have made a big comeback in recent times. This has resulted in a serge in vintage clothes stores selling preowned clothes from different eras in time. < / p>

The popularity of retro vintage clothing has resulted in faux vintage clothing being produced and it has had a big impact on the fashion world as most people want the retro look at modern affordable prices but it can often be hard to find real vintage clothes. < / p>

Fashion designers have responded by producing replica clothing from the 1940 ' s to the 1980 ' s at cheap prices. This means that consumers can have nice retro apparel that fit comfortably, are affordable and it also means you don ' t have to go routing through your parents clothes in the attic. < / p>

Underwear has also become more important in the fashion industry and vintage lingerie is now a growing market. The rise and return of burlesque shows has resulted in more burlesque hosiery being produced and women are now buying seamed stockings, corsets and waist cinchers. < / p>

Keeping up to date with fashion trends can be hard so why not create your own. You can learn more on corsets< / a> and streetwear< / a>. < / p>
