It’s Summer! So that means cool colors, wild prints and lots of lovely light-weight fabrics! Here’s a selection of great casual dresses that are going to be at home at a wedding (if you’re the guest), in the club or even at a garden party where you and the girls take advantage of those long days to catch up over a few cheeky cocktails outdoors!

Another great thing about these casual dresses is that they’re from our quick delivery category which means that you can get them all within about 10 days from when you order, which is a super-fast turn around!

Let’s take a look at a few of my favorites so you can get an idea of what we’ve got:

Changing wedding Dresses Forever! Two In One wedding Dresses.

Posted on June 1, 2012 by Adrian Leighton

Why Should I Be Considering Two In One Wedding Dresses?

We’re on top of one of the newest wedding trends around, two in one wedding dresses! These dresses are a great alternative to traditional wedding dresses as they are truly two dresses in one! This allows brides to go from long skirted wedding gown, to short skirted reception party dress in moments.

As long dress:

As short dress:

Who Would Buy Two In One Wedding Dresses?

There are three kinds of bride who would favor two in one wedding dresses. Either those who are trying to save money and don’t want to spend extra money on a separate reception dress, or those that would like to have a dress that you don’t need to struggle in and out of with great difficulty. They’re also great for brides who would like to wear their dress again in future, as most wedding dresses really aren’t practical for everyday use, but when converted these dresses can be worn as a party dress.

How Do Two In One Wedding Dresses Work?

[Two In One Wedding Dresses]Sweetheart Mermaid Floral Skirt Wedding Dress, Style Code: 08538, US$189.00

It’s simple! The longer section of the skirt (which may also include the train) is connected to the ‘body’ of the skirt with hooks going through tiny eyelets. This is really secure, and even though the skirt is detachable, there’s no way it can fall by accident as the hooks have to be pulled up and out of the eyelet each time meaning that only hands can free them.

Let’s Look At How To Adjust Two In One Wedding Dresses In This Video!

We just made this video to show how easy it is to adjust these dresses, so watch it now:

Where Can I See Your Two In One Wedding Dresses?

You can see our whole range of these wonderful dresses by clicking HERE to go to our range where we have a variety of styles! Best of all is that none are above US$268, which is good value for two dresses!

Why Corsets Are Your Recession-Busting Lingerie!

Posted on May 28, 2012 by Adrian Leighton

Just Why Are Corsets Gaining So Much Popularity?

beautiful Red Lace Boned Corsets, Style Code: 08744, US$18.99

Did you know that corsets are undergoing a renaissance of sorts? Apparently they’re flying off the shelves, which probably hasn’t happened since the 19th century! Many people are saying that this could be due to the financial problems being experienced around the world, but what does a recession have to do with corsets?

One Squeeze Leads To Another

Satin Black Upper Torso Corsets Sexy Lingerie, Style Code: 07295, US$18.99

So while we are all squeezed for cash we’re opting to go for corsets when shopping for sexy lingerie, but why is this?

There are two clear reasons:

Corsets are a bigger garment and are therefore seen as better value for money than skimpier lingerie.

We are spending more sexy nights in rather than going for expensive nights out, and so corsets are seen as perfect lingerie for helping you look good for your partner thanks to their shaping qualities.

Get Star Style With Corsets!

If you’ve seen any celebs recently you’ll see that they’re embracing corsets, so why not give them a go yourself if you never have before? The good things about corsets are:

They will suck in your waist giving you a sexy and natural hourglass figure.

They can be worn under normal clothing like regular lingerie, or on their own, such as with jeans.

So why not join this trend and try a corset? You’ll save money, give yourself an amazing figure and look like a star! What’s not to like?!

You can also, for a limited time, get 12% off your lingerie purchase by using this code at checkout:

I’m Going To An Outdoor Wedding, But What Kind Of Outfit Is Good?

Posted on May 21, 2012 by Adrian Leighton

Help Me OuterInner! I’m Going To An Outdoor Wedding, But I Don’t Know What To Wear!

As we head into Spring and Summer many of us are going to be invited to outdoor weddings! But the big question is what should you be wearing? Should you be casual? If so, how casual? Let’s take a look here:

What To Wear (And What To Avoid!)

Because of where they are it can be hard to decide what to wear for an outdoor wedding! Formal dresses don’t necessarily lend themselves to outdoor conditions very well, especially if they’re made of thick material or have long skirts. You could be too hot, too uncomfortable, or both!

Hence being casual is the norm here, but NOT underdressed. Don’t see this as a negative though as, despite the challenge, it actually allows you a lot more freedom than than a more traditional wedding where you can basically on wear a long formal dress.

It’s a time with more sunshine and warmer weather, so you’ll want to consider bright, cheery colors and fun patterns. I mentioned material earlier, and you’ll want to stear clear of heavy materials and go for cotton or even silk as these will keep you cool on a warm day.

As for accessories, bear in mind that you’re outside so a wide-brimmed sun hat could be important if it’s very sunny. You should also choose sandals or wedges if you’re planning on walking on sand or gras, or you’ll get stuck in normal heels!

Still Confused About What To Wear At An Outdoor wedding? Let’s Take A Look At Some Options We’ve Picked Out For You!

A strappy asymetrical dress like this is both light and pretty for warmer months, but it’s still ‘dressy’ enough to be appropriate for a wedding.

chunky bracelet

You could team up your light dress with a chunky bracelet like this one. Gold color would also be fine, as wood would be as well.

beaded sandals

How about a pair of beaded flat sandals? The ones pictures are light-weight and have a fun ethnic feel to them!

On the other hand this light chiffon floral print dress is great for Spring or Summer! As you can see, even though it’s long, it’s made of very light fly-away material which will keep you cool, and the floral pattern is pretty without being too wild!

cork wedges

If you can’t cope without heels don’t worry, wedges, like these cute cork wedges, will see you through the wedding and won’t get stuck in the grass or sand!

Finally don’t forget to finish off your outfit with a relaxed clutch like this one. Choose fairly neutral colors which can go with any dress and you’ll have a handy place to keep your necessities.

So what do you think of these choices? Would you choose something similar to wear to an outdoor wedding, or would you go for something different? Let us know by leaving a comment.

Real Customer Reviews: Heidi Fife’s Wedding Dress & Bridesmaid Dresses

Posted on May 18, 2012 by Adrian Leighton

Heidi Fife’s Wedding Dress And Bridesmaid Dresses

Heidi and her bridesmaids in their OuterInner.com dresses

Our bride Heidi from Barrie in Canada ordered both her wedding dress and bridesmaid dresses from OuterInner.com, so for that we owe her many thanks and are delighted that she chose us to supply her dresses! Let’s hear her story first:

Heidi’s Thoughts About Her Dresses And Experience With OuterInner.com

The dresses arrived when Outerinner said they would and I was so happy to find that my dress fit perfectly, but I bought the style that tied in the back so I had room to loosen or tighten as needed. I could also pull in certain areas if you know what I mean

My daughter’s bridesmaid dress I custom ordered and it fit nicely, but was a little loose on the bust. If I’d had more time I would have taken it in a little to give the dress a more fitted look on her, but it looked fine though as it wasn’t loose enough to fall down.

My maid of honour’s dress was a set size based on the measurements given on the website, but we weren’t so lucky with this one. Upon arrival the dress was too small and we tried measuring it to see and it seemed smaller then the size it should have been (not sure if Outerinner measure inside or outside). I contacted them right away and they gave me a free replacement immediately and I just had to pay the shipping which unfortunately was $33. My biggest concern though was that the wedding was only 3 weeks away, but they told me they could get the replacement dress to me 4 days before we headed south for my wedding! I kept the faith, but it was a real nail biter!

So we ordered a larger size so that if we had to take it in a little we had a friend on standby to do that. Thankfully her dress came in a day earlier then Outerinner had said it would and it fit PERFECTLY! If anything it was slightly tight, but it did up fine and looked great on her so that’s all I cared about!

The dresses were good material, especially for the beach wedding, my only suggestion is to order early so that if you need to modify or have an issue with the dresses, you’ll have time to react to it. I am very happy with the dresses I ordered and how they turned out, especially for the price I paid, so thanks Outerinner!

As you can see in general things went well, but as soon as we found out there was a problem with Heidi’s MOH dress we acted immediately to put it right as time was short and we didn’t want to leave her hanging. I have to say thank you to Heidi for bearing with us! Thankfully size errors are pretty rare, but in this case we encountered one and were keen to put it right immediately!

Let’s Look At Heidi’s Wedding & Bridesmaid Dresses

We love Heidi’s pictures of her beach wedding, doesn’t it look like a fantastic day? She and her bridesmaids, one of whom is her daughter, all wore OuterInner.com dresses and we think they look fantastic! Let’s take a look at the pictures now:

What do you think of Heidi’s choice of dresses? Do you like the use of ‘indigo’ on the sash of the bridesmaid dresses?

How Do I Get The Same Bridesmaid Dresses And Wedding Dress?

It’s easy to get these dresses if you like! Below we’re going to get more information and if you want to buy one of these dresses then simply click its picture to go to the product page!

We think that this is the perfect beach wedding dress! This beautiful column dress starts with a cute sweetheart neckline with vertical wrinkles. Followed is the raised empire waist, a great option if you are looking for a timeless and classic gown for your special day. The skirt flares down from the waist down to your feet and extends at the back, forming an amazing illusion train which no one could resist.

The asymmetrically detachable shoulder straps are artistically connected with one side of the neckline by floral embellishment.
The lace up back, also known as corset back, allows you to tie up or loosen the dress according to your body shape. A panel is inserted to cover the skin between the laces. This gorgeous dress is best recommended for beach wedding as the light-weighted chiffon fabric tends to flow with the wind, making you feel like a real princess standing by the sea: Chiffon Wedding Dress with Asymmetric Straps Style Code: 05926 US$94.00

Introducing this lovely A-Line Strapless Cocktail Dress With Sash. This strapless cocktail dress is absolutely beautiful and is tailored in lovely, light chiffon that’s comfy and cool.

The strapless neckline is great for bigger busts and showing off shoulders. Ideal for parties, prom, homecoming or even bridesmaids, this is a versatile dress that also features gorgeous ruffles on the bust and a splash of color is provided by the sash: A-Line Strapless Cocktail Dress With Sash Style Code: 01017 US$39.90

Wardrobe Missing A Shawl? Here’s Why That’s A Mistake!

Posted on May 16, 2012 by Adrian Leighton

Do I Need A Shawl?

A shawl like this can be a great finishing touch to your outfit

So you’ve got your dress, but is your outfit complete? Perhaps a shawl could be the last piece of the puzzle? If you’re heading outside and feel the need for a little shelter from the elements then they’re just for you. Maybe you’re looking for an accessory which not only provides matching color, but can also be worn in a variety of styles? So let’s look at shawls and see if they’re what you need:

Why Would I Want To Wear A Shawl?

If you’re perhaps attending an outdoor wedding or party then, once evening falls, you may be relieved to have a shawl to wrap around your shoulders which can help you to avoid any chill. Shawls are also great as they can be worn in so many different ways. They are also generally cheap, so you can start your own fun collection of different patterns or colors and they can really perk up your outfit with a cheery splash of color!

Are There Any Cool Ways To Wear A Shawl That I Can Try?

There are loads of ways to wear a shawl which is what makes them fun! Lets look at some now:

Wear the shawl loosely around your shoulders

Wear the shawl loosely around your shoulders. This is the standard method for wearing a shawl and is perfect for when you’re wearing a strappy dress and the sun’s going down.

wear the shawl in a french knot

Fold the shawl in half creating a loop half way along, pull it around your neck, and finally push the ends though the loop. This is a real neckwarming style and so is better for colder weather.

loose bohemian loop shawl

This is a very bohemian, almost effortlessly lazy and cool, way to wear your shawl; simply gather it into a loose loop around your neck.

Are there any other ways to wear a shawl that you can suggest?

Do OuterInner.com Have Any Shawls?

Good news! Of course we do! You can buy a shawl from us and they’re available in a choice of colors to match your dress. Here’s a few options to get you started:

This satin shawl (Style Code: 06797) is a mere US$19.00, which is a bargain!

This square shawl is special because it features buttons and can be fastened into different shapes, such as a cape or jacket. Yours for just US$23.00!

This light chiffon shawl is a little different to the others as it’s almost like an illusion. It’s so pretty with a cute bow at the front and is delightfully sheer. Buy this for US$31.00.
