Hello and welcome to silhouette.

Having always been a fan of corsetry and tight lacing I was thrilled at the opportunity to publish a magazine on the subject. Danielle is a talented writer and has researched so much I did not want to see her talent go to waste. I realise over the years of mixing in a very varied community of people, which include clients from my beauty business, the gender and the gay community, that people from all walks of life, men and women included, just love corsets for so many different reasons. It could be for the feminine quality or the garment or to flatten the figure, for some it is the sheer heaven of the restrictive nature of the corset. So corset lovers, we invite you to enter the world of beauty with us. Why not grace our pages by sending in your photos, letters and stories and any thing else of interest to the lover of these beautiful garments. I look forward to hearing from you, dear reader, and hope that together we can create even more magic. Here's to you with satin laces and bows. Stacy Novak (Managing Editor)
