it is possible to get it that tight


i was sent this link awhile back by VI as he had picked up on the latex and AA legging running meme in my posts. now the curious thing is that these are soft kid leather and not stretch pvc, latex or some lycra hybrid. certainly its another option for people wanting the tight and shiny leg look and have the money to pay for it and live in france too ;-)

for full collection by Jean Claude JITROIS then check out his webpage and specifically fall/winter 2007/2008.

i think i'll stick to latex but it all looks very good.

It's my understanding that you can get just about any material "that tight", but there are some catches.

--The material itself has to be fairly thick, or backed with a strong material, one that won't tear or warp under the strain. This is especially true of materials that don't stretch as much as latex does, but even latex needs backing on some items such as corsets.

--And...depending on the material itself, you may have to resort to multiple zippered points (if the stuff has give to it, and is tailor-made for a person's body) and/or points where the material *laces* up tight, like a corset would. So in other words, you can get things that tight, but at the expense of some smoothness on one side, front or back as that will be the area where things are tightened up.

Just from what I can see in the pic, it appears the outfit is really only ultra-tight from the breasts or armpits down at most, more like the ribcage down really. The model could be wearing a corset underneath the outfit, but it's more likely that the tighter parts of that outfit were simply made to that model's *exact measurements*.

It would make for a smoother image in the pic, just to have the outfit fitted rather than stressed and stretched on super-tight. Not to mention a fitted-to-the-Nth degree approach would be more comfortable on the model, since the leather wouldn't need backing so much, and it wouldn't be so tight that she couldn't move.

But then again....where's the fun in that? Surely we can dream of something so tight that the girl can't walk or sit down without squeaking, right? ^_^

Corset do more than stretch they squeeze and contain of and in fact they DON'T stretch at all. The use the lacing as a means to control their size and shape.

Depending on how elastic a material is will determine its ability to fit in a skin tight manner and accommodate the body as it changes shape when it moves.

Very thin latex or lycra will stretch to fit and accommodate shape without wrinkles. As you go to thicker guage material it starts to act like a body shaper forcing the body to ITS shape and stretching less. Correct fit it becomes more critical is you want it to look light and wrinkle free.

Leather is not elastic. it will stretch but it will not return to its original shape. Linings make it easier to dress and mitigate against stretching and distorting the material. I think some leather will shrink after being wet and can assume a new shape.

The only way to acheive a wrinkle free ultra tight look with leather is to introduce some means to add elasticity, such a a lyra panel, or a means to lace it to shape.

Some cross section parts of our bodies do not change shape much and others do when we move. Joints change a lot, midriff does, but thighs, calves, fore arm upper arm do not The head is pretty fixed in size except if you move your mouth.

Thin rubber and lycra can stretch up to 15% and return to shape (guess here) and this is why it can fit and act like a second skin.

FYI in case I wasn't clear...

*Well Made* latex corsets don't stretch, but that's usually because they have some manner of lining tape and/or backing to keep it from doing so.

And laces can tighten up just about *anything*, not just corsetry, hasn't anyone laced on a pair of sneakers too tight? ^_^

Ok then...all laces are is a simple machine (a lace or two plus eyelets in the cloth acting as a simple block/tackle to increase force over lace distance) designed to pull two sides of a piece of cloth or material together.

Sandero himself added: "The only way to acheive a wrinkle free ultra tight look with leather is to introduce some means to add elasticity, such a a lyra panel, or a means to lace it to shape."

Which is what I was saying.

--The tight sections clearly have to be lined if they really are soft *kid leather*, which is both rather thin and fragile, and also,

--Either some sort of lacing has to be involved, or the outfit itself was fitted to the model's *exact form* down to the millimeter and then either zipped or *sewn on* the model at the rear seams.

So my guess is, the model was fitted into an outfit that had to be zipped or sewn on, because the alternative would have been a) needing to use a thicker leather and lining to mold her body into the shape shown, and also b) making an outfit that is really only wearable in *one exact pose* which doesn't seem to be the point of even the most insane works of couture.

I mean, I'm just guessing here, but I'd humbly bet there's more than *one* picture of that model in that outfit, and that the model has to take different *poses* in that outfit at *that* level of apparent tightness. It would just make sense since this is the *JOB* of both model and photographer.

My apologies though if I wasn't entirely clear. I'm not a tailor, but I do pick up some things about tailoring and costuming here and there...

Jitrois has for many years stating that they sell "stretch leather" in some garments.
Have not been able to verify this though.

My friend and I were recently discussing about the ubiquitousness of technology in our daily lives. Reading this post makes me think back to that discussion we had, and just how inseparable from electronics we have all become.


I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Ethical concerns aside... I just hope that as the price of memory falls, the possibility of downloading our brains onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's one of the things I really wish I could see in my lifetime.

Any recommendations?
