Almost every woman looks good in a corset. This is not something I will argue about. If you've got curves, the corset makes them dangerous; if you don't have curves but you want them, a corset is the tool for the job. Don't believe me? Hit Fredericks of Hollywood, pick out one of those corsets you've always eyed but never dared try on, and let a salesgirl lace you in. You'll be astonished by the size of your waist, the curve of your hips, and your completely fabulous rack. You are a living sex goddess. Who needs to breathe?

Wear it out to a club with a pair of dark jeans, or inside as a holiday surprise that's even better than eggnog. Or just wear it around the house, and blow kisses to your dangerously sexy self every time you pass a mirror. Check out Frederick's of Hollywood and Hips and Curves for a huge selection of corsets and bustiers to mortgage the house for. —Anne
