Links

Last updated on 17th January 2005


This page is supposed to be a list of links, not a graveyard. If you find one of these links is dead, please write and tell me about it so I can remove it before it misleads anyone else! Thank you.


Do you want to see your link posted here?

If so, please read on!

People sometimes write in asking me to put links to their pages up on this page. This page is about tight skirts, and pages qualify for a link here exactly according to whether they contain material about tight skirts in some form. I don't do "link exchanges", linking to a page whether or not it's relevant just because it has linked back to mine: if your page has tight skirts I'll happily link to it whether or not you put up a link to me, but if there are no tight skirts on your page I am not going to link there however prominently you link back here. I also don't like spam, and if a page spams me I will remove its link if I don't get an undertaking that the spam won't be repeated. If you run a business and want publicity from a link here, you're welcome to it if your business concerns tight skirts; but I won't link to it if it doesn't, and in particular I am never going to put up a link to Crochet India, so please stop writing to me about it!

If you still want to submit a link, then please click here to contact me about it.


The Links page has now been reorganised so that each category of link has its own section. I would like to thank DWM for his excellent work on this when I could not find the time to do it myself. Here are the themes of link available:

These sites have paid to get preferential placing on my links page. However, I wouldn't accept them for a listing at all if they weren't more than worthy of appearing here, so don't worry that my judgment has been impaired by money!

The webmaster of Best Heels wrote to ask me to look through his page, and I found it very suitable for a link here. There is a large selection of tight skirt outfits and tight dresses available. It's very well laid out and easy to navigate: I like particularly the "You Are Here" links beneath each image, which make it easy to find your way back to each higher level category. The outfits are also largely new to me, which is always welcome: there is a stock of Lycra minidresses which turns up over and over, and I get a bit tired of seeing them. The existence of both US and Canadian outlets will also be useful to some of my readers.

Indefatigable contributor AY found the Boots and Legs blog. This is a collection of surreptitious pictures from Japan of ladies in the street, some wearing tight jeans or skirts.

The TightTight page is run by an Italian who wrote in to tell me about it. Unfortunately s/he wrote in Italian, a language I don't understand, and didn't understand my reply in English, so the correspondence did not get far. Still, I can tell you it is an Italian amateur page, showing pictures of a shapely woman (though seen only from the waist down) posing in a very tight black skirt and black tights.

CBS Limited is an online clothing catalogue and shop selling ballgowns, evening gowns and wedding gowns. There are many ranges, some new to me, with large pictures.

Long-established contributor "tight denim-skirt" found the E-Molina catalogue. This is a Spanish online clothing catalogue. The "feria gowns" include some miraculous mermaid styles, tight right down to the knee and then flaring out dramatically, and you don't even have to have them made up in those bold patterns if you think hand-sized polka dots are a bit too much!

Bonny.com is an online catalogue (not shop; this is one of those sites where you have to find an "authorised reseller near you") listing several lines of formal wear, including "prom" and wedding gowns. The pictures are large and high-quality, but they are accessed via irritating thumbnails which barely go down to the model's hips, so it is hard to make out if it's a tight skirt or a full one, and impossible to determine if it's a "mermaid" design.

Riva Designs is a shop specialising in "prom gowns". The 2005 collection is the current point of access, though you can look at the 2004 and 2003 collections from links attached. There are a couple of particularly fine mermaid gowns, for those who like that style, as I do. The enlarged pictures are very high quality, but the web designers chose an unconventional way of displaying them, apparently in the hope of preventing visitors from saving them out. It stumped me for nearly ten seconds, but then I work with HTML all the time. Try a right click and "View Background Image" to see what they have done.

If Jean is shorter than Brutus but taller than Imhotep, Imhotep is taller than Jean but shorter than Lord Scotland, Lord Scotland is twice the height of Jean and Brutus combined, but only one tenth the height of Millsy (and Millsy is a constant height of x - y) and Jean stands exactly one nautical mile away from Lord Scotland.....How tall is Imhotep?

Contributor "Charlie Brown" pointed me at this site in Japan which specialises in suits. There are some lovely tight suit pictures there, very elegant, for those like me who like that sort of thing.

Hobbleskirt.com - I was told to describe this page as "Custom made hobble skirts, galleries, and other relevant resources for the long tight skirt enthusiast".

Skimpy Skirts banner

Long-term contributor "Attoled" told me about this Tight Skirts link site. I am not there, but the page seems to concentrate mainly on shops and other pay sites, which is fair enough. It is well laid out and comprehensive with a webmaster's judgment and guidance against each link.

An artist who had been in touch with me before wrote to tell me about a new Yahoo! group he had created. It is called Pencil Skirts, and perhaps not surprisingly, it is about pencil skirts ;-) It is a showcase for pictures he has altered by painting very tight skirts onto the models, and he really knows how to make a tight skirt look realistic.

Artist Joe B has started his own gallery. This features not only a large selection of his beautiful paintings and drawings, but his own commentary on them, which is better than mine!

Some public-spirited person has started a new tight skirts group on Yahoo!. Its motto is " Bringing you the finest collection of tight skirts, boots and heels straight from Japan.These sexy ladies know their fashion." When I went there I found a lot of good pictures I didn't already have - and since I have undoubtedly the world's leading collection of tight skirt pictures (over 20,000 at the last estimate, more than a year ago) that's quite an achievement. At the same time, long-term contributor "tight denim-skirt" started her own Yahoo! group, Tight Skirts Asia, which shows that where she lives women are more inclined to tight skirt fashions than they are here in Britain - which is my bad luck. She says in her introduction " My collection of tight skirts are from the region where women adore very tight skirts - from mid thigh mini tight skirts to ankle length tube skirts. Skirts are tight form-fitting and skin-tight fitting."

Chris of England is a cartoonist whose work has appeared on this site before (though, along with a lot of other things, the first batch of cartoons was eventually removed to save space.) Now he has a new gallery up, and I was introduced to it with a most effective means of securing my attention: a cartoon of a glamorous lady from the 1950s with an extreme hourglass figure, wearing a painted-on pencil-skirt suit and high heels, thoughtfully admiring a strapless high-waisted girdle on a display stand. For the chance to post such a picture I was pleased to post a link to Chris's gallery!

Wayne, owner of a high heels page, told me about the High Heels site. This is a pay-per-view, adults-only site, though there are a few free pictures available. Some of the free picture sets show good tight skirt images, and Wayne has sent me some images for which he paid which I can't pass on. Click on their banner to move to their site:

Bryan of the Dragon Mountain told me about a "Miniskirts Home Page" while he was laid up with the flu and had nothing better to do than research sites and pictures for me. It's not a great source for tight skirt images, but short skirt fans will love it. I am also indebted to its webmaster for giving me a link to the delightfully weird Leg on the Earth site. This is run by an eccentric Japanese man who obviously has a training in geometry and physics and a very obliging girlfriend. She lets him take all sorts of measurements of her when she is wearing short and/or tight skirts, photograph her, and draw lines on the photographs o indicate the "critical angle of view" from which it is possible to see up her skirt as she sits down and calculate her "hip expansion" when sitting. For an insight into the science of short and tight skirts it's worth puzzling out his awkward English - anyway, the diagrams are self-explanatory! The most original skirt page I've seen for months...

D., husband of former featured Model Amy, told me about a large Go-Go Boots site where he says there are tight skirt pictures to be had - and he sent me an example. Searching there I didn't find any tight skirts, but I'm sure they're there if you look hard enough.

"John X", in a message left on my guestbook and also in an email, recommended me to his own skirt site, SkirtFetish.Net. He claims to have a huge collection of pictures but as yet only a few have appeared. I should also warn all readers that the page is deliberately designed to work only with Internet Explorer 4 and higher, and if you aren't using that it will work badly, if at all. In time it should develop to include more material, though whether it will include more browsers permitted to access it is another matter.

Brian, applying for my CD, sent in a link to what he calls "an interesting homepage". High Style concentrates on high heels but, he says, has a lot of tight skirt and tight dress pictures too. However, I should warn all readers that to get access to it you have to "register", which means agreeing to let the page's sponsors send you advertising by email. It costs nothing, but it's not something I'd do myself.

My very prolific contributor Victor suggested Patent Letter. This is another high heel fetish page, but in fact it consists of a series of back issues of a heel-fetish magazine, with a large quantity of pictures and text. It would take ages to explore it all; I did find that there were pictures worth a look to be found on a cursory examination, so if anyone has the patience to explore it thoroughly it would probably reward them doing it.

A reader of my page who has started his own general skirt page asked me to link to it. Like a few other people to whom I've linked he is interested in all kinds of skirts as long as they aren't too long. I enjoyed the page though there were as yet a few rough edges.

The webmaster of the Low Riders page wrote in a while back asking for a link, very politely. At the time he had no definite tight skirt images on his page and I wrote back politely refusing and giving my reasons. He wrote to me again a week later to say he had added some more pictures to his "Chicas" page and would I like to look again? I did, and found two tight skirt images, so that is where the link above points. I hope there will be more in the future: American informants have told me that Low Rider magazines are a great source of leggy models in tight microdresses and high heels, so the material must be around!

A valued contributor told me about Jenny's High Stiletto Heels Page and I found it delightful; Jenny herself is also rather nice (as well as having great taste in footwear ;-D) and I found she had a link to my page up already. After visiting her site a few times I found it was no longer available at the previous link, but she wrote to me again and gave a new URL, so I've linked back to her. Highly recommended: pictures, stories, facts, links, and an excellent discussion board.

YHS told me about Legs'R'Us. This is, as its name implies, mainly a "leg interest" site. Skirts on show are invariably short and frequently missing altogether. It was hard to find a tight skirt, but they are indeed there as advertised.

Former featured model Amy's husband told me about this page, a Japanese "leg worship" site. It's mostly devoted to high-quality surreptitious photography. Tight skirts are in a minority but they are there to be found.

HF told me about the Ebay auction site. I have heard of this place before and it's huge, so you have to be careful when exploring. It must contain skirt material - one contributor found a glut of gloriously glamorous Fifties gowns there, and HF now reports lots of tight leather skirts, but I'm afraid I can't guide you to the exact location.

Jimmi Bo, who had a copy of my CD, told me about this page. The link I was given doesn't have any context, but it jumps on to a page with four images of a presumed amateur model showing off a tight blue Lycra minidress. I think it's a "taster" for a pay-per-view site but I haven't bought in so I don't know what's behind the fence.

Contributor Victor found the Opera Gloves site. Gloves are not skirts, but the webmaster of this page has a large collection of Fifties images - some foraged from my site, but others not - and of course the Fifties often imply elegant tight pencil skirts. Victor said he found other tight skirt material there; I was too interested in the Fifties page to explore further. I tried to contact the webmaster but the address given on the page was not working. He got in touch with me after he read this notice and thinks he has probably patched the problem.

The webmaster of a tight dresses club at the Yahoo! clubs server askedme to explore it. There are pictures and a message board, though when I visited not many people had joined or written anything. Please note that to access this, like any Yahoo! club, you have to first get a "member ID" and password for Yahoo! Clubs, then sign in, then type the name of the club before you are allowed to go to it.

Mon vieux Guillaume m'a donné this link to a page apparently about "arrogantly beautiful" women. As far as I can tell it is a "rebirth" of the old "PAM Arrogance" site; it is all in German, though, and I know very little German. For those not interested in the text or the theory behind it, it is a page that shows a lot of pictures of very elegant and self-assured models in classy clothes, sometimes tightly tailored.

"Queequeg" pointed me at Miniskirt Babes. As I have often explained to contributors it is the tightness and not the shortness of a skirt that makes it eligible for notice by this page, but the first page of this site has as "wallpaper" pictures of models in tight minidresses and as soon as I went to page 1 I discovered another tight dress image I had never seen before, so it deserves a link.

The webmaster of the Pinup Girls site asked me to link to his page. He has already got some of his computer art on my Art pages, where the results of his attempts to simulate curvy, dark ladies in tight clothing are on show. More pictures of this kind are available along with some scans from 1950s "cheesecake" magazines.

Bruce sent me an email asking me to link to his Shiny Blouse page. This is very much off topic for the Tight Skirts Page per se, but on his "Real Women" (i.e. "amateurs") page I found a woman identified as "Mrs B" in a leather pencil skirt and looking rather super, as well as my own featured model Mrs L.

Hap also suggested the Asia Heels gallery. I found this to be not very well organised - there are no thumbnails, so you have to load every picture full size - but it does, as advertised, have various pictures of beautiful Asian models wearing high heels, and there are enough tight skirt pictures among them to merit a link here.

The webmaster of Fetish Brazil told me about his own site personally. It concentrates on miniskirts but I found plenty of tight skirt images there.

Victor found Amsterdam Rubber for me. This seems to be a general page devoted to fetishwear/latexwear/rubberwear and not presenting new images, as one of the sample pictures he sent to me from there I had had for a long time; but he also discovered two that are new to me.

Prolific contributor "Hap" told me about Ladies in High Heels and Nylons, from which he had extracted several images with short tight skirts to send to me.

"Minirocker suggested Formula 1 Babes, which deals with pretty girls on motor racing tracks. As well as the inevitable "race queens" there are celebrities, including a magnificent image of a Czech beauty queen in a stunning floor-length one-shoulder silver silk figure-hugging ballgown - ideal for a beauty contest but rather out of place in a mucky, machiner-filled pit lane!

In one week regular contributor Victor produced a large set of images and several links to come from them. The Newport News (a local paper?) was the first, a source of a large set of small but beautiful images of women in elegant semi-formal clothes. They look as if they come from a catalogue, and I hope they're for sale, as women should be given every opportunity to buy clothes like this!

Correspondent and artist Joe V told me about his own page, Real Tight Skirts, which seems to have been partly inspired by this one. He has as yet only a small collection, but hopes to enlarge it. Encourage him :-)

"Queequeg" wrote in to tell me about this "pantyhose" site. I am not interested in "pantyhose" as such, even under their native name here of "tights" - the author of the site is British, like me - but he had illustrated it with a series of images, including many from the Highest of High Fashion. I chose from his "fashion" galleries at random, and in the second discovered half a dozen images of Linda Evangelista in various tight miniskirts. If it's that easy to find tight skirts there, it gets a link.

Hap discovered the Boot Goddesses site. This is fairly self-explanatory; the only comment is that it gets a link here because he found a picture of a model wearing stiletto-heeled thigh boots with a tight miniskirt. I much prefer knee-length boots myself but they seem to be neglected.

Another of Hap's discoveries is Dames in Sexy High Heels, again a self-explanatory title. He said it was "nicely organised", and though quite a lot of material he had already seen - and thought I would have too - he felt it was worth a look.

Another useful discovery of Hap's was The Stiletto Pumps Page ("pumps" is American for "courts"). This is a page of the sort this one used to be, using any kind of image collected from the Internet and offering to take down anything that is copyright to another page, so it may be persecuted, but for the time being there are some very nice pictures, some including tight skirts. I found the "Stiletto Pumps at the Office" section particularly rewarding (eh, Victor?) ;-)

The friendly webmaster of Brazilian Miniskirts wrote to me asking to link to his page. His favourite type of skirt is short and pleated, but he has a "tight" section to keep me amused, and the page contains many scans he's made himself so that it isn't just a repeat of the same tired old images as is too often the case. Nor are all the images Brazilian, though on the evidence of those that are there are some pretty sexy women filling Brazilian tight skirts!

Corset correspondent Paolo told me about Dave's Place. This site is devoted to girdles, which are not tight skirts per se despite covering the same parts of the anatomy. It's interesting and well presented, and there are some tight skirt items as "by-products"; its only fault, as far as I can see, is that the webmaster has run out of space and not wanting to move onto an advertising-funded site can't do any more about it.

Contributor John C told me about the Sexy Footwear page. This is a British site whose main business lies in selling, well, sexy footwear - and it is very sexy at that - but they also have a range of sexy clothes. Under "Skirts" I found a number of pleasant things, and I didn't have time to explore the "dresses" section. Recommended for those who think PVC is the most erotic of fabrics, not so much for those who prefer old-fashioned elegance.

Fellow Fifties fan "f66939" led me to the Burnos page. This is a French site (French helps, but is not necessary - there is some English too) which is mainly devoted to the beauty and glamour of women in nice blouses; there are a good few tight skirt images around "by accident", though, and an extensive 1950s section.

Long-time supporter FW told me about Kim's Tribute to Femininity. This is a page which glories in feminine, elegant, glamorous pictures - not feminine as in girly, and certainly not in the sense of nudes, but formal, elaborate clothes with perfect grooming. There are two huge sets of galleries, one of wedding dresses and one of ballgowns, and also some smaller sets of galleries including one with images from various periods including the 1950s. This is not the place to go if you are after miniskirts or "slutty" images, but if you like to see well-presented ladies in all their finery it would be hard to better it. Its one weakness is being a large, complicated page on a very slow server.

"Rabotorto" told me about the Sleeveless Cheongsams clubon Yahoo!. (If the direct link doesn't work for you, go to the clubs home page and search on "Sleeveless".) This has pictures of, well, you can guess what, and some of the galleries have many photographs of Hong Kong beauty contestants looking radiant in extremely glamorous, elegant and sexy skin-tight satin cheongsams and long gloves.

Victor also found Satin World, a German gallery of satin pictures. I haven't been there myself, but he has sent me some fine satin tight dress pictures he found there.

A friend of mine who has more aliases on the Internet than a cat has toes told me about the Women in Conservative Clothes club on Yahoo! Clubs. As with all their clubs you have to sign up with their system before you can access it from the link. The contents of the site are what you would expect, including many elegant tight suit pictures.

"Sexy Sue" signed my guestbook and invited me and other readers to Sexy Sue's site. This specialises in non-nude alluring images and she says she is interested to find how readers react to them.

Long-time reader, contributor and chum FW told me about this page on Geocities. It is devoted to the admiration of ladies' legs and feet - not just to high heels, as so many of these pages are - but as a "byproduct" there are some beautiful tight skirt images around. The webmaster is also a highly nice chap and you are encouraged to email him and tell him what a good page he's running!

Contributor and renowned lover of tight miniskirts and high heels " John C" found the Absolute Idols page. Here he discovered some beautiful pictures, but he warned me that " they are 'hidden' between a lot of other photos".

Beautiful images sent by "Hap" led me to the CFM High Heels page. As its name suggests, it is mainly about high heels pictures, but there are a good many tight skirts to be found, and the women really are exceptionally lovely in a long legs and six-inch stiletto courts type of way.

The webmaster of Pline World also asked me to link to his site. The title seems to be short for "Pantyline World", and it is dedicated to images of women in short or too-short skirts or thin tight trousers and leggings bending over, so that their panties either show through or are exposed by the hem of a skirt riding up.

Pantyline World banner

"Birkitty" sent me a slightly fierce message promoting his own site devoted to "lovely ladies in skirts". What kind of skirt isn't relevant here: there are short skirts, long skirts, tight skirts, full skirts, anything, as he says, that catches his eye. I found some beautful tight skirt images and also some appealing to my other Fifties-inspired taste for outfits with small tight tops and long full skirts, so I can recommended it for those who like either look.

Volunteer Nicole told me aboutThe X-Legs Page, where I hadn't visited before. This is devoted to the "philosophy" and glamour of women sitting alluringly cross-legged. As well as a long list of pictures to admire, you can also read the webmaster's long essay on why this position appeals to him.

An advertisement beside my guestbook led me to a page of animations by Kirk Millett. They get their listing here because of his heroine "Nylon Futura", a sassy redhead with huge green eyes, a tiny waist, and a taste for tight dresses and skirts. The animations are in Shockwave Flash format and pack an enormous amount of sound and action into 1MB each. "Nylon Stalkings" shows Nylon at work and undressing afterwards, struggling briefly with the zip on her tight plaid miniskirt, and the two parts of "Welcome to Earth" show her in a tight green minidress - and later out of it, if you like that sort of thing.

Neil wrote to tell me about his page celebrating ladies with crossed legs. Tight skirts are incidental to it, but in practise there are lots of tight skirt images around.

MJC told me about The Pinup Files. I haven't explored this site thoroughly, but he did send me the urls to three pictures by "corfield" which featured women in tight miniskirt suits, and also an older and more elegant image of a gracious lady of the 1950s gliding along the pavement in her tight pencil skirt walking her dog.

I discovered by accident the Traditional Ladies site. This specialises in images of models in traditionally feminine clothes - blouses, skirts, corsetry, heels and so on. There is a "skirts" gallery available, and it is easy to find high-quality tight skirt images there, so I have given it a link.

A fellow calling himself "Blue Eyed Tex" told me about his Skirts and Shorts page. This contains what you would expect, with skirt galleries listed down one side of the front page, and shorts galleries listed down the other. There are no thumbnails, so you just have to click on the name of a picture and hope it's interesting, but there are certainly tight skirts there.

On the 50s Fashion mailing list to which I belong, "Tessa" posted a message advertising two sites. The second was the more relevant: Classic Glamour contains a range of pictures on various themes, of which "Blouse and Skirt" is good for tight skirt images. Some originate on this page, but there are also others new to me.

Fellow corset lover Paolo pointed me at this page on the site Korsett.org, where a German blonde poses in her new outfit of ankle-length pinstripe hobble skirt, high heels, and a corset laced tightly over the top. Other pages on her gallery show her wearing a corseted red PVC microdress. I'd ask her if I could use some of the pictures, but all too clearly she and her husband/boyfriend understand only German, and I don't speak it.

Featured model Luize's husband pointed me at the Boots on Net site. This is a German site which as its name suggests specialises in boots images, but there is a very large themed gallery and it is easy to find your way to "tight skirt" sections.

The webmaster of Norwood Bikes has been asking me for a long time to put up a link to his site, and he finally has enough tight skirt content to justify it. The link points at his "Gallery" page, where there are links on to various other pages where cute and sexy "bike chicks" pose around for the pleasure of being posted on the Internet and knowing they are admired. There are a lot of excellent tight skirt pictures there.Please note this site very definitely only works in Internet Explorer.

The webmaster of Tight and Busty Babes told me about his page, and having had a look it was clear it required a link. It's exactly what you would expect from the title: busty models wearing tight clothing, here extended to include bikinis as well as "real" clothes.

Steve D told me about the Denim Miniskirts Group on Yahoo! Groups. As with all such groups, you have to set up a free account with Yahoo! before you can visit, though once you have an account it will do for all such encounters. The group is devoted to denim miniskirts, exactly as it says on the tin, and there are lots of tight skirts to be seen, thoguh Steve warned me that in the first couple of albums there are fem-dom images which he found unpleasant.

Searching on another site showed me the Women in Business Suits group on Lycos UK. There are quite a few nice tight-skirted suit pictures here, and anyone who has visited my page knows that I find such things attractive!

I found for myself the Yahoo! Group called Ladies' Dresses and Suits. The content is exactly what you would expect from the title. This is not the place to go for blatantly sexy or slutty outfits: the women are dressed for the office or for the evening, and the emphasis is on tasteful glamour. Of course, as I'm fond of pointing out, with the help of a tight skirt and high heels an outfit can be perfectly tasteful and restrained but deeply sexy as well!

Contributor "babyfm" pointed me at a page on a site with the awful name Amber's Amateur Hardcore. This shows a series of pictures of a shapely lady with long dark hair posing round in a tight black minidress with a "ladder" of vents down one side, and ultimately of course taking it off.

Luize's lucky husband also recommended the High Boot Club, where "There are a lot of kinds of boots and many pics about mini dresses or skirts."

Another contributor by DH was the Fetish Amateur page. This concentrates on surreptitious pictures of ladies wearing office clothing in the street. There are some tight skirts, but I remain a bit uneasy about this kind of source of images.

Contributor "tight denim-skirt" found me another Asian site of surreptitious street photographs. There are lots of nice images, but few thumbnails: you just have to keep clicking things.

Featured model Rose's boyfriend Greg sent well-researched information about three links. The Superleg site is "a Japanese site filled with large pictures of lovely young oriental ladies seductively dressed and provocatively posed. As the name implies it is primarily a leg-interest site, but there are some very nice tight skirt shots here."

Dressed to Kill High Heels is an old favourite now back after a long time. This is a high heels page, but there are large galleries of featured models Jane and Rhonda which include lots of tight skirts as well. Jane was formerly posted on my page; she has no new images available, apparently, but the old ones I removed for lack of space are as good as ever. Rhonda is a charmer with long brown hair and a sweet face, and she has several beautiful tight skirt outfits which she models with pretty stilettos.

I accidentally found on the BBC News site a story about how Bangkok University's officials are so shocked at the short and tight skirts worn by their girl-students that they are trying to bribe them into longer and looser outfits. They are offering a competition to win some jewellery, but only "well-dressed" students are allowed to enter - and that evidently doesn't include tight skirts. I am pleased to relate, though, that the students are not enthusiastic.

Contributor and author "AB" put me onto the Fiftiesweb site. As you can probably guess, this is about the fashions of the 1950s, and if you have explored this page much, you will know that I am very keen on those styles! This is an overview with both information about 1950s fashion and some pictures, and if you actually want to learn about the period rather than gazing rapturously at pictures taken then, it's probably better than my Bygone Fashion section.

A recommendation from someone who knew the site sent me to Mr Mockle's Models in Fur. This is about pictures of beautiful ladies in glamorous fur coats. Some, however, are worn with tight skirts; Teresa May in particular has a wonderful structured tight black leather dress.

The Legangels site is one of many contributions from "tight denim-skirt". Like several of the pages she has pointed me at it is a selection of surreptitious pictures taken in the Far East, I should think in Japan. There is a "skirts" category which includes some tight skirted business suits.

A discovery of my own is Shopping TV Babes. This site has pictures of the various pretty women who present the British TV shopping channels bid-up.tv, price-drop.tv, and QVC. Though I would never buy anything from them, I do appreciate seeing well-dressed and attractive ladies on the television, and the more so when they wear tight skirts! In the galleries of video captures here several presenters are seen wearing attractive tight skirted suits: my favourite style. This page has a particularly superb user interface: it is extremely easy to use.

Another excellent discovery by "tight denim-skirt" is the Yahoo! Skirt Fetish group. As with all such Yahoo! groups you have to have a Yahoo! membership before you can join it. It's devoted to pictures of ladies in "slim fitting skirts", which the group manager thinks wonderful - I agree. There are lots and lots of pictures in several galleries, and - which is not usual these days - most of them were new to me. In particular there is an excellent gallery of pictures culled from garments for sale on Ebay.

Regular and prolific contributor "tight denim-skirt" found me a gallery of photographs of air-hostesses in their uniforms. The pictures are rather small, but the suits are smart and often have nice straight or tight skirts and fitted jackets.

"tight denim-skirt"'s last discovery before the June update was an Indian site which I can't characterise better than to say it is about beautiful people. The link given points at a series of contestants' pictures from the Miss Universe contest; you can see them in their evening gowns, many of them slinky and tight-skirted, or less if that is your taste. Elsewhere on the site I found large galleries of celebrity wallpaper pictures, and though in a quick look round I didn't see anything new to me, you probably don't have 20,000 assorted tight skirt pictures on your hard drive already!

"Martinez" told me about two Polish fashion houses, Simple and Sisel, whose galleries contain tight skirted pictures. He sent me two pictures from each. I found them rather hard to navigate myself.

Ian, or Mark (he goes by both names, mysteriously), told me about his two Yahoo! groups Showing Stocking Tops and Showing Stocking Tops 2. Though I like stockings they are not tight skirts per se. I put this to Ian/Mark, who replied that he specialises in pictures of people wearing 1940s style clothes, and attached an image of a blonde woman with a lovely hairstyle wearing a tight white T-shirt and a Prince of Wales check pencil skirt to mid-calf. Incidentally, though she was wearing seamed stockings, there was no sign of the tops of them. I agreed this was a tight skirt within the meaning of the Act, and have posted the links.

I discovered the home site of Eric Way, a British fashion designer. Various collections are on show, and unlike some pages you are positively encouraged to download and save the images. He has, I am pleased to say, seen the virtue of putting his lovely models in outfits with tight skirts at least some of the time, and the last collection set - of "in-studio shots" - shows some delectable tightly tailored minisuits and strapless sheath dresses. Warning: the pictures in this last set are very large and will take ages to download over a phone line.

CW, who was one of my first ever contributors back in 1997, retains an interest in this page: he found for me a series of pictures from Germany of a woman modelling a long tight hobble skirt.

Harry, a fan of model Mz Seamz, compiled a series of images of her into a beautiful wallpaper picture. When I said I didn't have room to host it on my own server, he put it on Geocities instead. More may be forthcoming if enough people tell him they like it.

Author and long-established contributor MK found some nice pictures of Roni, a model with a pay-per-view site. The site itself concentrates on porn, but the first four pictures in this sequence show her in a tight minisuit bursting with curves.



Leather Links

TopTop


Supporter CW suggested Northbound Leather, whose catalogue contains some great high-resolution images. I have downloaded several and previously posted some on the leather pages. If you want to see everything they have to offer, and perhaps order something, click on the link.

DWM suggested another leather site: the homepage of Jamin' Leather who sell biker gear of all kinds and also sexy leather outfits for ladies who want to look exciting. The "leather skirts" page is worth looking at, of course! but there are other appealing things elsewhere.

Leopold's Leather Fashions was suggested like so many other sites by RJS. The page contains a fine selection of leather images again many of which are new to me.

RLH sent me the URL of a sexy picture at Leatherworks. Exploring the site in more detail I discovered all sorts of interesting things like corsets worn as strapless tops with "mermaid" skirts, and I thought it was well worth a visit generally!

Loesje told me about a leather skirts club at Yahoo! Clubs, against whom I have something of a grudge because since they did their takeover of Geocities my own Geocities page hasn't worked. Now, you can't get into the club just by clicking on the "leather skirts club" link above. You have to go to the Yahoo! Clubs link and sign in, by clicking on the "Join" button, which will ask for your email address. I'm not sure about the details as I've never done it myself, but it seems to be possible. Finally, she told me about "an on-line store selling leatherwear, mostly leather jackets but there are some skirts also." She attached what she considered a nice one, but exploring it I found a nicer one - and they are for sale.

Lotsa Leather is a site I'd heard about and thought I'd linked to already; but Adam wrote in and informed me that it wasn't on my site. I was quite surprised to find he was right. It is, as its name implies a leather picture page and there are tight leather skirts there among (to me, but possibly not to you!) less interesting things.

Another contributor told me about the website of Northbeach Leather. I've seen sexy pictures from their catalogue many times but never had an opportunity to explore the catalogue itself; this sounds like it coming along now.

My leather loving contributor Loesje found in one day three pages that sell leatherwear. I thought the best was Convoy, which sells fairly formal clothes including suits, though they tend to a zipped "blouson" rather than a buttoned jacket. Wicked Chamber is a fetishwear/sexywear site which sells bondage equipment and other things that are out of my remit, but they do also have a range of plain and appealling skirts. Finally, Leather Legends seems to be aimed at the Country and Western market, with cowboy and cowgirl stuff and a lot of leather and suede.

Leather contributor Loesje sent a lot of links in one week, as well as some advice. Danier is an expensive and good-quality leather clothing shop: no strange cowboy stuff here, but very elegant and well-designed outfits.

Loesje also found this leather picture page. It concentrates on the leather side of things and not on the tight, but I did find one picture of a high-fashion tight black dress by Ralph Lauren.

A donor whose name I have lost track of discovered this leather and latex picture page. It appears to be typical of its kind with lots of varied pictures and no special attractions that I discovered in the brief time I was there, but it is a source of tight leather and latex images among other things.

In one week Leather Loesje managed to come up with two links, which was quite a good thing because in the same week nobody else came up with any. One is now dead, but the other is the Leathervideos page which as its name suggests posts a lot of leather videos. All are as yet of leather trousers (American: pants), but she says there are amateur pictures of women in leather party skirts and dresses on the "still pictures" pages. When I went there I found nothing but "missing image" icons but I know her work too well to believe she could have wasted my time: probably the pictures are back again. If not, ask the webmaster about it.

Again my leather link specialist Loesje managed to come up with two links in one week. Audradella is an online shop that specialises in "leatherwear for larger ladies". They have tailored a considerable amount of glamour into their fitted suits - always a favourite of mine - but the prices are as large as the models and if you shop with them expect to pay over $400 for a suit. The pictures, though, are free. Loesje also found Hard Leather Stuff, which despite its colloquial English name is a very German leatherwear site. I had to grope around by guesswork as I have virtually no German but I did find a couple of tight leather skirts as well as several non-tight ditto, and other leather clothes, some of which - particularly the short fitted jackets - I liked but have nothing to do with this page.

Resident leather researcher Loesje found another two leather pages for me. The "Cool Dog" page sells leather clothing, including some nice suits, though the skirts are a bit short for my especial taste. The Kershaw Leather site sells various other items of leather clothing including suits, dresses, jackets, &c. Its prices vary from reasonable to very high, but it's good to see some narrow knee-length skirts as well as the inevitable three-quarter-slit minis.

Long-term contributor DWM found this French leatherwear gallery. There is a large leather skirts section, and though some of the pictures in it I already knew, many others were new to me.

Webmaster Shane wrote in to tell me about his Leather Love Latex Gallery Asians page. This has only just started but already has a large set of leather and latex pictures including some tight skirts. I have to warn readers, though, that it works only in Internet Explorer and Netscape 6 - Netscape 4 definitely does not work.

Albert told me about his Women In Suede club on Yahoo!. I went to have a look round and it was fairly easy to find pictures with tight skirts, so it deserves a link here.

"shinyboy" wrote in to tell me about the Leather Heaven Videos Page which he or someone else had started. I was surprised that by then anyone was still interested in links from the remains of my page, but I put it up anyway.

The webmaster of The Ultimate Leather Co. asked me to review his site, and one particular outfit in particular. The link given points at it: a very "hot" tight black leather minidress, also available in a skirt. It's not cheap, but good leather never is. There are further pictures in the Gallery section you can reach from a link on the page given here.

The Ultimate Leather Co. banner

Searching on Google Images for "tight skirt" (what else?), I discovered this page at Convoy Leatherwear which is called, interestingly enough, "Tight Mini Skirts". Not all the skirts are tight within the meaning of the Act (though I know there are plenty of people around here who won't mind that as long as they are short) but I found five I would be honoured to post on my page if some model wore them like that. They are mostly around mid-thigh-length, tight to the hips and very curvy, with that taper to the hemline that makes a lady look deliciously rounded. I hope this link inspires a few sales: the more skirts like that worn in this sad world, the better!


Latex Links

TopTop


The 4F site, whose author puts up his own stunning computer artwork instead of photographs, is a good source for latex material - though you have to pay. I once had four on the Latex pages.

RJS has discovered three new links which are worthy of appearing on this page. Skin Two is a famous British fetish-fashion magazine; the link given here jumps into their catalogue area, from which you can see clothes (in three size images: thumbnail, general view, and enlargement) and order them if you want. Infetish is another excellent shopping site, with a variety of clothes ranging from the merely sexy to the fetish-only; it is also marked for over 21's only. Finally, he introduced me to the Latex Connoisseur, whose slowly loading pages contain images of latex and leather clothing including dresses and skirts. They are all "watermarked" with strict instructions that they aren't to be reposted.

Someone has been misusing my guestbook, posting advertisements on it when it's supposed to be used for messages to me! However, the Eurodreamer latex fashion page - for men and women - is so good that I would have linked to it anyway if someone had told me about it; so I forgive them.

I am still not permitted to link to the Ataraxia Collection, but the person responsible for it contacted me by email, which was a great honour. He (?) wants to promote the International Rubberist Network which can be found at this address. The page is intended for the use of rubber, latex and PVC fetishists and is a not-for-profit organisation; you should be over 21 to go there. They claim to have many resources available including picture galleries.

"Wilder W" told me about the Il Bolero site. This is a Canadian fetish boutique, and though I didn't explore it very thoroughly anyone looking for latexwear will find amusing material there - as well as other things like ballet boots which I have to say don't appeal to me.

EG, exploring the A La Kiss site, found this picture. It's so good, if you like tight red latex, that we felt it deserved a special link!

Joost, a Dutch fetish-photographer, told me about his page while ordering one of my CDs. He has one page on a site run by and for Marquis Magazine, and it contains a range of images that includes some tight skirts and dresses in latex, PVC and such materials.

Eric G, one of my best contributors of sites, pointed me at Syren. This is a well-know latex fetishwear business, and in fact when I went there I found that quite a lot of the images of clothes were familiar to me - they're passed around the Net. Nevertheless, I found some super things there I didn't know, and of course if you want to buy these dresses this is the only place to go.

Another contributor sent me some pictures from an Australian site selling what it calls "rubber streetwear", and having been there myself I can say that it's a cut above the rest - very intellectual about the theory of rubber clothing and its influence on culture, as well as offering it for sale, of course!

On the same day two sexywear businesses wrote to me to ask if they could have links from my page. I visited their sites and found them worthy, so here is where to reach them if you want to buy from them. M.B. Productions sell "Fetish Clothing, Bondage Gear, Dungeon Equipment, and Adult Toys". Some of their tight and sexy leatherwear was previously available from Northbound Leather, who have a link from the top of this page, but it's still good stuff whoever stocks it. Scarred Rubber are a new rubber fetishwear site, and their clothes are all original - I've seen none of them before.

Someone using the name "the-gonz" wrote in to tell me about several sites. Of three that were suitable and are new to me, two were Dutch latex shops. Seduction has a well-laid out site and lets you access in English or Dutch which is helpful. The other site is no longer working.

Donna wrote in suggesting her own page, the name of which I didn't catch. This is mainly a "leg interest" page, but the pictures are all her (and her husband's) own work and there is one image I like particularly showing her in a long, tight black dress, rather "Gothic" in style, bending down to get something out of the fridge.

Someone signing my guestbook recommended the Shiny Babes site. I have already seen some images from it spread around the Internet and so have every reason to believe that it contains a good deal of tight skirt material. This is a pay-per-view site so be prepared to fork out.

Victor also discovered two latex pages. Move To Latex (if it has a better name I don't know it yet) is a massive list of links to many latex pages. I don't normally link to such clearing houses, but it was obvious from the page listing the links that many of them were highly relevant - one even advertised "tight latex" specifically! The other was "Latex Lady" of Germany, a handsome older woman who appeared in my mailbox wearing an incredibly tight blue latex dress. She looked great, and obviously knows it.

"Hap" also found Under Three Layers, a German language site, though there is enough English to make it manageable. This is devoted, as far as I can tell with my small amount of German, to pictures of an amateur model, perhaps the webmaster's wife or girlfriend. She likes wearing fetish fabrics (PVC, latex, etc.) and high heels and there are a good many tight skirts around.

Victor announced his discovery the Latex Clothing UK site by sending in a large batch of images from their page. As it happened I had seen all of them already, but you might not have!


PVC pages

TopTop


Kristi wrote in to promote Fetishworks, a page for which she works herself. It's a fetish clothing page with the emphasis on PVC; there are some tight skirt outfits available there.

David O suggested Slinkyskin, which he said "has some very tight latex skirts and dresses".

I cannot remember who found the Women Suits page. This is an online shop, specialising in "mother of the bride" outfits, some of which are very fine pieces of pencil-skirted tailoring, and some of which, I am sorry to say, are quite terrible.

New Things is a huge catalogue of bridal and "prom" dresses. Unfortunately they are not for sale on the site: you have to find an authorised dealer and get a quotation.

Lip Service is a shop specialising Gothic/punk/outrageous outfits, which was found by excellent contributor AY. There are a lot of tight skirts and dresses, from mini to ankle length, though the sort of woman who would buy a skirt with "SLUT" printed all over it probably wouldn't have much in common with me.

Eternal Lingerie is a British sexy items shop whose range includes a line of stretch tight dresses. There are signs on parts of the page that things have been bought in from a widely used wholesaler, but I didn't recognise all the tight dresses on sale, so it deserves a link.

I think it was also AY who found Madame le Goth. This is an online shop selling Gothic and fetishistic clothing. There are some remarkable mermaid-style skirts and dresses, as well as other things. Note: Madame styles her dresses to get you noticed, and not at all for comfort or practicality!


Lycra links

TopTop


Renaud sent me a highly suitable link: a French Canadian on-line shop (all text in English and French) which on the link given here is selling "wet-look" Lycra dresses. They're hot stuff, and I'm sure there's more there worth having a look at and possibly buying for someone who'd look and feel good in it!

In another week FW suggested three pages. The Power of Women in Spandex features Lycrawear. Most of the pictures are leotards and tights and the like, but if you search hard enough you can find material of the sort I like. The site is in my experience complex and rather slow.

The webmaster of Lycra Lovers wrote saying he had linked to this page and asking me to link back. I don't link back purely on the grounds of someone linking to me, but when I went there I was easily able to discover four tight Lycra dresses, and therefore he gets the link on merit. Lycra Lovers is a pay-per-view site with a set of free preview pages where you can see what sort of thing you get for your membership. I haven't bought in and so I can't say what it is like behind the fence, but in discussion with the webmaster more tight dresses to come were promised.


Online clothing catalogues

TopTop


Readers please note: I cannot indemnify you against mistreatment by any of the shops listed below. If anyone has trouble with one of these dealers, please tell me about it and I will post a warning against their entry, but if someone listed here takes your money and doesn't give good service in return I can't take responsibility for it or offer to reimburse you.

Someone recommends this Dutch mail-order clothing house for pictures of leather and latex outfits.

I found for myself Skintight, a Dutch fetish clothing company whose products include ultra-tight latex dresses and skirts; some of them were displayed on my pictures pages previously, but I forgot to link to the site until RJS pointed it out to me.

Another of SW's discoveries is the OnMirage site, an on-line dealership for sexy clothes including tight dresses. There are plenty of pictures, though not all are high quality. You can order your dream outfit on the Net via a secure server, though if you're ordering for the special lady in your life make sure she'll like that ultra-tight dress in case you can't return it!

RJS has visited the site of the German mail-order company Otto. He says that after a disappointing start it is now definitely worth a visit, "Displaying some delicious tight skirts and of course also other skirts and outfits with frontviews, but indicating the ones that have an animated gif showing the garment all round!" He sent me a couple of remarkable animated GIFs showing models doing a twirl, and I can see what he means.

In my own explorations I discovered Intimate Secrets, who sell sexy little tight dresses as well as more "adult" aterial. They say that you have to be over 21 to look at their page, so please respect the rules of the Net and of reasonable prudence if you aren't.

RJS suggested another site which he has discovered: the Sound and Vision Homepage. This is an online shop selling fetishwear of all kinds: the latex section has a great many tight skirts and dresses. Again, it is an adult site and under-18s should not go there.

A reader suggested the Hot Threads (formerly Eye Candy Clothes) site, which sells sexy clothes. A later check after a woman there informed me of their change of name and URL showed me that there are indeed a good many tight dresses to be found, and the site is fully thumbnailed so that it is easy to get an overview of what is for sale.

Another reader has told me about A La Kiss Designs Sexy Erotic Apparel Online Catalog, which is pretty much what it sounds like. The server can be rather slow, but there is a large range of sexy clothes including skirts and dresses, many of them tight or ultra-tight, some long, others mini...I had a lot of fun looking around. Anyone who goes there and buys something, either for herself or for his significant other, pictures of your new purchase pleasantly filled with female curves would be appreciated if that can be arranged!

I myself discovered Bernshaw Fashions, who sell among other things sexy though not outrageous evening clothes. You can, of course, buy them on the Net.

Someone using the name "mapstset" told me about the Stage Clothes site. This is another on-line store which sells sexy clothes, especially tight mini and slinky slit long dresses, as well as bondage and fetishwear.

The other page was for Cameo Lingerie, who sell a range of sexy dresses on their page as well as lingerie, high heels, and other little items designed to drive men like me round the twist. Unlike many of the Net shops to which I've linked they have a secure socket layer server to stop your credit card details being captured on the way down.

HL helpfully discovered yet another on-line sexy clothes shop. Skinzwear sells "activewear" and "beachwear" as well as "streetwear" which latter category includes ultra-tight microdresses...I've already gained them one customer as someone saw a dress from their range on my site (it was scanned in and sent to me before I knew of the link) and wanted to know where it came from, so I passed him their URL!

Another new "sexy clothes catalogue" of which I've been told is Versatile Fashions. "Johan censored" found it for me, and for those of you who like pictures of ladies in corsets it's a fine place to explore.

TL of Australasia sent me an enormous list of links. So far I haven't checked all of them, and those I have checked as worthy of mention are so many I can't provide a comment to each of them. Most are on-line shops which sell sexy tight dresses or latexwear. Here's the list verified to date minus the pages that have since died:

Afrodite Virtualshop
Swimwear Dresses Lingerie Activewear: Katrina's Kreations
sexy dresses, gowns and sportswear for her

This is enough to be getting on with, surely!

WW, a new contributor, told me about the PassCastle site. It's a European-based fetish site, but their "products online" section contains a large range of clothes not just in PVC and leather but also quite ordinary (but sexy) things in conventional fabrics. The pictures are rather small, but it's good stuff all the same.

Wayne told me about Siggy's Sexy Lingerie Shop. Siggy has a large range of clothes, including fetishwear, decent but sexy party dresses, leather, latex, and the rest of it. He also offers to find something special if you can't find it yourself.

A contributor - I'm afraid I've forgotten whom - sent me a link to the Global Fashions page. This is a sort of clearing-house from which you can order many different clothing catalogues, mainly fetishwear but exclusively. Many pictures from the catalogues are available on the page.

"Eric" found me a page of very sexy little dresses on the Wicked Temptations site. While you're there you might also try the "customer gallery" - among other people with irreproachable bodies who look good in Wicked Temptations clothes is my own Netfriend Sexy Dee!

WW recommended an Internet shop called Red Rose, which sells fetishwear and also more conventional sexywear over the ether.

The same applies in spades to Pzaz, whose site I was led to by Felas. He gave me the URL of a picture showing a cute model in a tight dress, but when I subsequently went to the index page I wasn't able to find it in their catalogue. Still, it must be there somewhere!

A reader turned up Funky Boutique, an on-line shop selling all manner of sexy clothing including some very yummy evening dresses. He also turned up a very superior page selling "prom dresses" for girls just starting to go to really big parties, and though the pictures are in his valuable phrase "pitifully small" still there's some nice stuff.

FW did another large batch of research in a week and turned up another three pages that deserve links. Phoebe 45 is a strange name for a well-designed designerwear site. Most of the clothes tend to "expensive casual" styles, but if you look there are quite a few sexy tight skirts and dresses among them. Renas.Com is another page selling general "sexywear", especially tight Lycra minidresses, high heels, and the like. Ramona 009 is another strange name for a good site, this one selling a wide range of latex clothing. The garments seem to be original rather than just generic things available in many places, and the pictures are excellent and can be enlarged.

He also discovered Landa, a page which sells "prom" and "pageant" dresses - elegantly sexy evening gowns, to you and me. The pictures are easy to find, and beautiful.

The webmaster of Bad Influence wrote to me to ask me to put up a link. It's an on-line shop selling several ranges of mostly fetishwear, including tight leather and PVC/latex skirts.

Loesje from the Netherlands has been busy hunting down links for me when she isn't running her own page. Leatherlady is a site which sells lingerie and leatherwear. There aren't many skirts or other substantial garments there but I did find a few. Appianpelli is an Italian leatherwear page whose work I've seen floating about the Internet since I started running this site: it's good to know now where they really come from. They have a large range of leather suits and dresses and other quality clothing.

The husband of featured model Gina suggested Buchholz, a German online shop where you can buy a variety of usually skimpy but often tight clothes. He gets some of Gina's outfits from there - they have a fine selection of leopard-print Lycra!

The webmistress of Bodytalk wrote in to ask if I would link to her page, attaching a fetching image of herself in a very tight rubber fetish dress! It's a fetishwear shop in the Netherlands, open to the public as well as on the Internet, and there are plenty of pictures showing people wearing their clothes and obviously having a damn good time. Click on her banner:

Bodytalk banner

Contributor Jim B told me about the Ashley Nicoles site. This is an online shop selling minidresses and lingerie. The clothes seem to be original - there are certain obviously wholesale clothes that appear in shop after shop on the Internet - but I found that there was very little in the way of actually tight dresses.

One site which damn well should have had a link before is Frederick's of Hollywood. This is a well-established "sexy clothes" company, and they sell all manner of things, including a fine range of tight dresses and some separate tight skirts.

Loesje, another prolific contributor of links, found the excellent Focus on Fashion site. This is a splendid idea, an online clearing-house where those who have superfluous nice clothes can put them on sale and others can browse through them. When I visited I found under "businesswear" three suits by Thierry Mugler for prices as low as $115, which much surprised me. Whether there are tight skirts on sale depends on what is being offered, but it strikes me as a fine place to shop for quality women's clothes at good prices anyway. You will have to be on your toes, though, because you aren't the only one who's going to spot a bargain!

Contributor "Gerry", who like me is British, discovered the Unique shop. This is an online shop selling the kind of elegant, shaped clothes I like: long slender evening gowns and tailored skirt suits, as well as some other things. It's the best online source for suits that I've seen. Curiously enough it's also in the hometown of one of my featured models! Her husband confirms there is such a shop, so you don't have to worry if you call on them that your money is going to some nonexistent cyberbusiness.

Another excellent contribution from Loesje is Designer Resale, a second-hand dealer for designer clothes. The site is carefully categorised ("Businesswear", "Eveningwear" and so on) and there is a search engine into which you can type a designer's name or what you are looking for. I found some impressive stuff at bargain prices including Mugler, Chanel and Alaia, though inevitably the best bargains were always marked "sold out".

Longstanding and highly respected contributor RJS discovered Arena Clothing, a British fetish clothing firm. I haven't been there yet myself but he tells me that as well as various sexy pictures there is a video which can be downloaded.

Contributor EG told me about Island Sensations, which sells "dancewear" and other things meaning much tight and glamorous Lycra. I have seen some of the clothes they illustrate on sale before in other places but some also are new to me.

Someone using the name "Wind" to sign my guestbook suggested Splash Fashion. This is a Canadian shop which sells a variety of clothes; the ladieswear section contains some tight Lycra-mix dresses and skirts. I found the server a bit unreliable. The contributor called this "a very local shop", but whether s/he means that it's near him/her or in the sense that it's "a local shop for local people and there's nothing for you here," I don't know!

Eric G pointed me at Wallcrawler. This site has several sections; if you look at "fetish fashion" you will find an online shop with a tight dress area. Some parts of it seem to be waiting to be populated with material.

Contributor Sean W told me about Pin-Up Girl Clothing, an online shop specialising in sexy clothes. The "gowns" section devoted to longer dresses tends to concentrate on skirts slit up to the hip, but some do qualify as tight in the pure sense, and there are also many tight little dresses in the "minidress" section.

"Gatordude" sent me the URL of the Forplay catalogue. This is a catalogue specialising in erotic fashion - a contributor sent me some of their old catalogues a year or two back - and there are plenty of tight skirts and dresses around as well as other things. It's good to know they're available on the Internet too.

Researching from an item in the business page of the Sunday paper, I discovered the Confetti site and also Weddings UK. Both are general "wedding information" sites, but these two in particular have online wedding dress search catalogues, to which I have linked here. Confetti even allows a search by skirt style, though I regret to say that "very tight" is not one of the entries on the list :-)

Matty told me about Passiongear, a ?British fetish fashion site. Going to their page and clicking on "Glamour" I soon found myself face to face with a model wearing a very tight pink rubber sheath dress available in three lengths, and presented in an animation which makes the image "rotate" so that we get to see all the angles. The disadvantage is that I was not able to work out a way of saving a copy of the pictures. Nice fashions, though, in their rubber/PVC way.

Long-term contributor and friend RJS told me about Fairy Gothmother. If you know what a Goth is - and I don't mean a speaker of an extinct East Germanic language - you should be able to guess what this is about. It's an online shop based in Britain which sells "Gothic" clothing, and that includes an excellent range of very tight latex or PVC dresses as well as a page of corsets which I have not yet examined.

Victor discovered Firstkick, a Dutch fetish clothing site. A trawl there turned up a large set of PVC clothes, some of them extremely tight and sexy.

The webmaster of Fetish'n'Leather wrote to me personally to suggest his page. I went to have a look at it and am happy to give it my august blessing :-) It's an online shop which is particularly strong on leather clothing; I easily located two tight leather dresses. They are very much fetishwear - not for wear in public except by the most outrageous - but they seem to be made to fit and the prices are surprisingly low for that.

Kelly personally informed me, and some other people, about her Clubwear 4 U site. This is British, like me, but unlike me is a page selling brief "clubwear" with a large skirt section heavily emphasising holographic prints. There is also a "gowns and dresses" section which in fact refers the interested reader to other online boutiques where various glamorous outfits can be bought.

Long-term contributor and friend RJS found this highly exclusive and expensive New York boutique; the link here points at their "suits" page, but they also have nice "cocktail" and "eveningwear" sections. The prices are high - typically $750 for a suit - but the items appear to be good quality and are elegantly sexy.

Former featured model Amy's husband found the Hello Sexy Girl page. This is an online shop specialising in, you guessed it, "sexy girl" clothes - in the sections I explored, mainly tight minidresses of various kinds. I'm glad to say that they aren't from the Universal Lycra Wholesaler - several pages on this list all seem to show much the same set of tight Lycra minidresses - but original, and one of the pictures showing a rather luscious brunette in a tight blue stretch minidress actually drew praise from contributor Victor, so it must have been pretty good!

Gunnar found me the Blaeck Straetsch (German for "Black Stretch") site, which I had seen before care of a corset page but hadn't really considered as a link here. It's a fetishwear page which includes a series of pictures of customers trying on the outfits that they sell, some of them tight dresses or tight skirted.

Peter L found Shop Lisa's, an online shop. Unlike some others, its range seems to be original rather than bought from a common wholesaler. They specialise in sexy clothes, which is fair enough, especially Lycra skirts and dresses. One aspect I liked was that they have a search function and typing "tight" into the search box turns up a listing of all the tight outfits in their catalogue! The pictures are also fairly large and high quality.

John C discovered the Alley USA site. This is actually part of a larger shopping page; the link points at the "tight dresses" section. There are a lot of very glamorous long sheath gowns for sale here, one particularly nice one in metallicised purple fabric which caught my eye. However, I don't think it's my fate to meet women who dress like that, alas - except on the Internet.

Hap also found Wow Boutique, another sexy clothing catalogue. The pictures he copied to me showed models with big smiles and amply-rounded figures in tight stretch minidresses, often with holographic patterns on them. It looks worth a visit if that's what you're after.

Hap also reviewed for me the home page of L J Lingerie. I had had pictures in from two sources marked with their name in the file title, and it was a worthy guess that there were tight dresses lurking there. As with many of the shops on my page they specialise in Lycra mini designs as the stretch fabric makes it easier to fit customers not present in person.

Contributor Victor found out about Athena Clothing, from which he sent me several pictures. To judge from their content it must be a fetish clothing shop - PVC and so on - but including an elegant floor-length gown as well as the usual minidresses.

The webmaster of 2 Cute Lingerie wrote asking me to link to his page, an online shop which includes "funwear" and "gowns" among things more strictly describable as lingerie. I managed to find tight dresses that I hadn't seen before in three clicks, so the link is definitely merited.

Long-term supporter FW told me about this shop, which seems to be called Ujena. The link points at their "dresses" page, or rather one of six dresses pages. There are many beautiful tight dresses, including two delectable ones in leather and satin respectively, and the prices are fair without being suspiciously low.

EG told me about House of Whacks, very much a fetishwear site. This is a shop devoted to selling PVC and leather fetish clothing, with a large range of corsetry, fantasy "costumes", &c. It's well laid out with a good "search" function which made it easy for me to turn up the tight dresses section. Adults only, please.

EG also told me about Lingerie-Dot.Com. The link here points at their "sexyclothing" page, which is pretty much what it sounds like - there are tight dresses in there and also in their "dresses" section, and I'm sure there are more under "long gowns" but I didn't have time to look when I was there.

A reader who wants to remain anonymous suggests Azur Seduction, described as "a French lingerie/sexy dress site which shows some short tight skirts."

In one week I received information about no less than three pages specialising in selling clothes that are or look vintage, including from the 1950s - a subject dear to my heart. Contributor Charlie Brown found the ReVamp site, which sells clothes in the styles of various periods up to 1950. There is some nice New Look material, and no mistake. I myself came across AntiqueDress.com, a large site with a detailed catalogue of genuine period costumes, including some from the last century. If I had had $545, which I did not, and someone to wear it, which I did not, I would certainly have bought the beautiful Lilli Ann smoky grey tailored suit with a tight knee-length skirt and a wasp-waisted jacket which, the webmaster assured us in his long description, would "give a very tight fit". Finally thanks to a Fifties Fashion mailing list that I had joined, I discovered the Daddyos site Retro page. Daddyos specialises in clothes for people interested in old types of dance such as swing or jive, but they have a period costume page too. The clothes are very much "inspired by" those of the period, which means much Lycra, but I cannot fault their commitment to tight and curvaceous dresses.

Someone who signed my guestbook showed me to Enoki World. What the name means I don't know, but it is a beautifully (if quirkily) presented vintage clothing site. Clothes are presented from a variety of periods from the 1940s to the 1980s and neatly divided into categories: suits, dresses, separates, lingerie and swimewear. I easily found a 1950s suit of which the description said "the skirt is straight and tight" for the remarkable price of only $160, and under Dresses discovered a stunning black "mermaid dress", though not surprisingly it had already been sold! My only criticism is that the page doesn't sort images by date so on any given page you may find clothes of any period.

Trashy Lingerie is a terrible name for a very high-class site - they claim Madonna (I don't like her; rubbish) among their customers, and when you find you're dealing with a shop that charges $100 for a pair of gloves you realise you're in high-rent territory! The page deals mainly with lingerie, as the title implies, but it's far from trashy; and they also have some sexy tight dresse which is why they're listed here. It's beautifully laid out and as well as shopping "by collection" you can also visit the area of your favourite model - such as Her Highness the Dita.

Martin G. told me about The Flirt Catalogue, a sexywear page based in Cape Canaveral - it's interesting to know that area has an export other than rockets! He and his wife like to check there regularly for appealing outfits for her, which sounds like fun as the catalogue is stiff with them - it was easy to find sexy tight-skirted clothes under "Gowns", "Dresses" and "Skirt Sets". There is a heavy emphasis on Lycra to ensure a tight fit rather than tailoring and sizing.

A friend of the webmistress of Glorious Vintage, run appropriately by one Gloria, wrote in to ask my permission to use one of my Bygone Fashion pictures on her site in an essay he was writing. I explored the whole page and found that it's a vintage fashion shop, dealing with periods from the 50s to the 80s. Since for a good couple of decades during that time tight skirts were very much In, you may find material of that kind there; but of course it depends what Gloria has found and put on sale.

Sharon at Bananashoes wrote in to ask whether I would link to their site. It is mainly a British-based fetish/sexy footwear shop: each type of footwear (boots, platforms, sandals, etc.) is available in two ranges, one ready-to-wear and one made-to-fit. They are very sexy indeed, at that, especially the "Gabrielle" boots! The page earns its link here, though, because there is also a "Clothing" section, in which there are various tight miniskirts and tight dresses. I understand from a very sensible reply Sharon sent that they aim to expand this section in the future.

Prolific contributor Victor told me that there were some spectacular dresses for sale at the "Hot Threads" shop. He could not give me an exact URL for it, but told me that the right thing to do was to go to Sunset Strip, a Dutch "virtual shopping centre", and then look round.

"Rich11" told me about the Mystic Princess shop. This is one of many shops selling sexy Lycra clothes, but the range here included some wonderful "legendary"garments that I had seen circulating around the Internet but didn't know where to buy, so it's worth listing here particularly.

A reader pointed me at the Beachdress shop. This is an online clothing catalogue specialising in one-size-fits-all Lycra outfits, with a large number of tight minidresses and longer gowns. Many are from a wholesaler, name unknown, whose products grace many other pages to which I have links, but it's always worth marking up another selection.

Jeff from Aaron's Apparel wrote asking if I would put up a link to their page. It's a general sexy clothing shop which holds several lines of clothes. A number include tight dresses and under Leather there is a spectacular photograph of a classic tight leather miniskirt; they also sell various other sexy apparel including corsets. However, I did find a few Error 404s and missing images which I hope will be corrected.

One major source of images on the Pure Passion site is Athena Clothing. This is a professional site fronting a shop which sells PVC fetishwear, and as usual on such places tight skirts and dresses are easy to find.

Rich found me Strings by Judith, a site belonging to a long-established clubwear designer. Judith started in the 1960s with string bikinis but now has a large range of tight minidresses and miniskirt outfits too, as well as other things. Unfortunately you cannot buy online: the link merely advertises her shops in Las Vegas and Orange County.

Rich also pointed me at Allenbey's, a vast and complicated shopping centre. Its relevance here is that in the "Lingerie" section there are ranges of tight dresses available, and also a leatherwear section.

Former featured model "Sexy Dee" pointed me at a long clingy evening gown she had found on the Dugan Brothers online shop. Exploring it myself I found lots of nice dresses under the "Sexy Clothing" heading. Some come from the Usual Lycra Wholesaler, but some were new to me. She also found the Nightwear shop. This is an online shop in which the "Dresses" section had a long tight stretch gown that caught her eye; several others in the same section caught mine.

I discovered the Margaret Lee site. This is a shop for formal, top occasion clothing - they specialise in bridalwear but also have an evening dress range. Unlike most wedding and bridesmaid dresses they have a large selection of gowns with straight or tight skirts; they also favour tight boned curvy bodices which is very much to my taste too.

Friend, contributor and fellow lover of Fifties fashion A.B. told me about his discovery The Blue Gardenia. This page specialises in selling vintage clothing patterns, and there are hundreds there from the 1950s. If you have the know-how and want to make your own Fifties-style tight skirt or sheath dress, this is the right place to go.

Fellow Briton James C. sent me information on four fetish shops, of which he has personal experience. Cocoon has some very sexy, very tight dresses. Honour has a lot of PVC wear, but also other fabrics such as Lycra, and the garments are imaginatively presented. LadyBWear contained a lot of pictures new to me and had very informative - and evocative - text. The Federation also contained lots of sexy pictures new to me and deserves its link here.

Long-term contributor John C suggested Artaxwear, a German fetish clothing site. The range there is large and, unusually, I managed to find clothes that I hadn't seen before - perhaps because, as a German page, it hasn't access to the same old wholesalers who keep so many American shops in Lycra. If you want to buy from them, though, some knowledge of German is a good idea.

Frank G told me about Davenport and Company who run a large site devoted to the sale of vintage clothing. If you like this sort of thing, and I do, it's easy to find attractive pencil skirt outfits on sale. They also have an excellent links page showing the way to many more sites which sell the same kind of material.

Long-term surf-hunter Eric G found two new shops in one week. Lollipop Lingerie specialises in basically sexy clothes, and there is the usual selection of tight Lycra minidresses from the usual wholesaler, though there are a few things there new to me. The Akana site is another sexy clothing shop where it's easy to find dresses, but the stock this time was a little less familiar.

Frequent link contributor Frank G told me about Archenemys. This page belongs to a shop in Maine, USA, and the shop sells sexy footwear - if you want a six-and-a-half-inch-heeled stiletto, this is the place to go. They also have a "gallery" where some customers have displayed their range, and many of the images use short tight skirts to complete the "look".

The webmaster of the EFU Shop left a message in my guestbook trying to attract customers, so before putting up a proper link here I cross-questioned him as to whether he sold tight dresses. The EFU Shop is an Oriental garments shop, selling cheongsams and other beautiful things. As yet the "made-to-fit" section is not up and running, but the webmaster defended his ability to fit his customers tightly as long as they make the right choice of sizes, so the link goes up here.

Lisa, co-owner of the I'm A Hottie! online shop wrote me a long and very nice message asking me if I would link to her site. I am delighted to do so. Not only does it contain a large variety of tight, sexy and glamorous partywear - most of which, despite her fears, was quite new to me - but she has been honest about labelling the clothes, instead of using euphemisms. She does not waste our time calling the kind of dress that interests me "clingy" or "shapely" or "slender"; she calls a tight dress a tight dress, and that is how it should be. There is also an excellent search function, and typing "tight" into the search box and letting it go is an excellent idea. I wish them much success.

I'm a Hottie banner

The webmaster of the Bachelor Party Fun site left a message in my guestbook asking people to visit his page. That's not what the guestbook's for, so I deleted it, but the site is worthy of a regular link. It's mainly concerned with supplies for "bachelor parties" which seem to be what we in Britain call "stag nights", but there is a large "Pin-Up" section with a series of galleries showing lovely models. Many have tight skirt images, and most have their own home pages where you can visit to learn more.

Contributor MJC, who has a sharp eye out for contemporary tight skirt fashion, spotted this tight and sexy skirt in an online catalogue. I hope they'll sell a good many!

The owner of the Sassy Zone online shop wrote to ask if I would link to it. I immediately found a page of Lycra miniskirts, and a quick look round showed me pages of long and short tight Lycra dresses as well, so it deserves the link.

Sassy Zone banner

I discovered for myself the ADMCity shop, which is British like me. This has an enormous range of clothes in various classifications, and the Dresses section has 21 pages each of which has tight dresses on show, but it isn't very well laid out and the thumbnails are small. Fast connection recommended.

I personally found Rosalind Woods' shop; the link given here points at the "Skirts and Blouses" page. There is a range of very tight stretchy skirts available here, all illustrated with nice big pictures, and all of them new to me.

The same webmaster wrote almost simultaneously to tell me about the Enchanted Dreams and Sexy Lingerie Mall sites with both of which he is associated. Looking through them I found they were "sexy clothes shops" of the kind I have seen before. Many of the clothes are available elsewhere, and quite a lot are held in common between the two shops, but there remains plenty worth seeing to say the least!

The webmaster of Seductive Apparel wrote asking me to link to his page. It is a sexy-clothes shop online, and while most of the clothes on sale I have seen in other shops, they're still great pictures and quite the thing for shapely ladies into very tight Lycra. Visit the shop to find out more:

Adult Lingerie UK wrote in suggesting their shop for a link. They sell clothes made of "fetishy" materials - latex, rubber, leather - and the site is divided into sections, one of them heavily laden with tight skirts and dresses. The pictures are worth looking at even if you don't intend to buy anything.

The webmaster of Passion Parlour wrote to tell me about tight skirts for sale in his online shop. At the moment there are only two tight minidresses among all the other stock, though more stock is promised in the future. They are very nice, anyway.

The webmaster of Female Fantasy wrote asking me to review his shop. It is British based, and has a large selection of tight dresses and skirts as well as many other things, some fetishistic, others not. There were plenty of things new to me, which is always a pleasant surprise in this business.

Female Fantasy banner

The webmistress of Thongs and Things invited me to review her shop. It has a wide variety of stock, including a large selection of tight dresses and skirts, some fetishy clothes, some of them just ordinarily sexy. There is some Lycra, some PVC, leather or latex, and many outfits previously unknown to me. There is some other fetish material too.

Thongs and Things banner

Doing a search for ladies' suits (a favourite topic) on the Internet, I turned up Ravi's Tailor. This is a shop in Thailand which takes your measurements over the Internet and sends back clothes made up to your exact size. It gets its place here because it lists "Skirt Suits", "Skirts", "Dresses" and "Evening Wear" on its front page, and at least three of the four categories contain tight-skirted outfits. I do not know how good the service is, but if it works it's a great idea.

The webmaster of Lace Panties wrote asking me for a link. The site sells not only lace panties but miscellaneous "sexy girl" clothes, including a wide range of tight skirts and dreses most of which were new to me.

Neiman Marcus is of course a very expensive shop that doesn't need my endorsement. Going there recently, though, I found lots and lots of glamorous tight skirted outfits in their various catalogues. There is a very large range, with beautiful pictures that generally enlarge, and the site layout is very easy to follow: the only problem is that the prices are often high by my standard, ranging from around $200 to more than $900 for a grand evening gown. I think some of the models would look better if they wore one size down from what they have been assigned, but there is one evening gown in particular of which the shop says "This gown runs small", which is retail code for "This is a tight dress, and it's meant to be tight, so don't come complaining to us about the sizing if you find it's tighter than you're used to wearing!"

Karl at Midnight Dreams of Love wrote in suggesting his shop for a link, so I went to look round. It sells sexy clothes, as you might expect: for tight skirts it is best to look in the "Sexy Lingerie" section under "PVC and Vinyl" and under "Leather"; there you will find some very tight skirts and dresses. There are also some more tight dresses under the heading of "New Arrivals 2003".

Someone from At Sexy Lingerie wrote in soon afterwards also asking me to look their site over. Under "Casual Wear", I like the lace-up denim miniskirt. The tight-fitting lace minidress is also very nice. The pucker Spandex dress is also highly sexy. The "china doll long dress" is very glamorous! In the "Costumes" section the "mermaid-style" bride costume is very much to my taste!

On the same day I had an email from Lingerie of Hollywood asking me to check out their site too. Under "Casual/Formal Wear" there are sections on "Mini Dresses" and "Long Dresses", both containing very relevant tight skirted outfits: my favourites are among the Long Dresses, where the "Tiger Striped Lurex Opaque Long Dress" is pretty devastating, and the "Slinky Sheer Keyhole Halter Dress" and the "Slinky Long Halter Dress With Bare Back" are almost as exciting! Inevitably, though, there are quite a few minidresses I already know from other sites.

A web surfer acting independently, on the other hand, pointed me at the shop Three Wishes Lingerie. This specialises in "costumes" for sexy fetish entertainments: though it's not a great centre for tight skirt outfits, they are there in several categories if you look. The various outfits are rather on the slutty/trashy side, but I know that's what quite a lot of people out there like!

Someone working for the shop Lingerie for Play wrote in suggesting I link to it, which I have now done. I spent some time looking around when I first had the link. I particularly like the Super Stars & Stripes Bandeau Dress, the Tube Mini Dress in Lamé, the Hot! Hot! Lamé Mini Skirt with a Matching Tube Top, the Power Mesh Mini Skirt with a Slit and Matching Tube Top, the Super Hot Lamé Bandeau Mini Dress, the Super Hot New 4 Way Stretch Lycra Ciré Mini Slip Dress, the Hot New Halter Dress in Micro Fiber Lycra with a Front Slit - it's nice to see a longer tight dress among all these minis - and the Cherry Baby!! Bandeau tube dress.

Someone working for the Keep It Kinky online shop wrote asking me to review the site, which I did. It is much more sex-oriented than most of the shops I list, featuring sex toys, bondage aids, and so on, but there is a clothes section which includes things very relevant to my theme. Under the Latex | Clothing section, I found seven different tight skirt items, of which the Black Latex Pencil Skirt and the Uptown Girl Mini Dress were perhaps the most desirable; under PVC | Clothing, I found several more.

Keep It Kinky banner

Charlie at Keep It Kinky has since asked me to post a link to a new special attraction at the site. Keep It Kinky now has a Customers' Gallery where satisfied customers can post their pictures modelling their sexy purchases! Please have a look round.

A form letter asked me to examine Thongs and Bras Lingerie for a possible link. I found some delectable things there - a wide range, going beyond the usual club minidresses to include long tight dresses as well, in all kinds of materials such as Lycra, net, lace, and glamorous wet look. A search on "skirt" is just as rewarding. It was also very good to see lots of items I had never come across before: too many shops around the Internet all seem to stock variations on the same set of stretch minidresses and miniskirt sets. The only problem I had is that every search seemed to turn up either 35 items or none: perhaps the search engine is configured only to return 35 items if more are found?

Looking for pictures that might interest prolific contributor "tight denim-skirt", I found Gowns, Etc. myself. This online shop sells formal gowns for formal occasions, and I noted having found "mermaid and sheath gowns" which I judged "really lovely"

To me, perhaps my greatest ever discovery in researching for this page has been Encore Pageant Apparel. For years I have lamented that clothing catalogues do not sell the truly glamorous and elegant yet sexy, tight and curvy gowns which ladies in bygone times wore for special occasions. The choice was generally between "middle-of-the-road" outfits which were aimed at would-be respectable women who didn't think showing their curves was a good idea in public, or Lycra minidresses aimed at young women who wanted to be sexy first, last and overall, but were less interested in dignity or glamour. Some ladies still managed to come up with beautiful dresses, such as the indispensible Anna, but where she got her clothes from I don't know. Then I discovered Encore Pageant Apparel. It is a special shop for beauty queens, and within it we can find all the fitted, tailored, structured clothes that have been hidden for decades from ordinary people - a world where designers understand that a lady might want to wear a tight dress without going for one-size-fits-all Lycra that shows off every imperfection. I found dozens of glorious tight-skirted sheath dresses, many of them with Fifties-style strapless boned bodices, and there was more in a less formal mode under "cocktail dresses": I even found a near-perfect suit, houndstooth tweed with a short fitted jacket and tight skirt, instead of the dreary long, loose jackets and A-line skirts so common today. If you are looking for Lycra minidresses and women with almost nothing on, don't bother coming here, but if you love formal glamour then please have a look around. I wish I had a model who would let me buy one of those gorgeous gowns for her! The only criticism I would make is that too many of the clothes are modelled on dummies, not on real women - it doesn't look the same, of course - and for some odd reason several of the models like to pose with their heads cut off. I know I'm not one to talk, but them I'm running a strictly amateur page and it's not surprising if my models want to be anonymous. Presumably the ladies at Encore are being paid!

Further in my search for "mermaid skirts" to please "tight denim-skirt", I discovered TJ Formal. This is another shop specialising in formal gowns, some for evening wear, some for brides. There are wedding dresses there unsurpassed in glamour, elegance and beauty: to misquote Red Dwarf, if they looked any better, they'd be illegal!

Someone at Elegant Moods Lingerie wrote giving the URL of their skirts page and asked me to link to it, so I had a look around. As is so often the case, some of the outfits are familiar but some are new to me; I particularly like the "Microfibre Denim Mini Skirt And Jacket Set"! There are also some relevant things under "PVC Clothing" and under "Leather Lingerie">"Mini Skirts and Dresses".

Someone at Angel Bodywear Lingerie wrote in suggesting their site for a link. He was helpful enough to send me some URLs to explore within the site, so that I could be the more quickly convinced that it was worthy of my august attention. Their skirts page contains a wonderful "Pucker Spandex Dress"; visiting the site myself, I also discovered the "Tight Fitting Lace Dress" and the "Denim Miniskirt" fitted my terms of reference. Though stockings are not tight skirts per se, the Nylons page advertises them with a rear view of a slinky model wearing seamed black stockings with a very tight black leather miniskirt, and that's worthy of a link too!

Luize's lucky husband pointed me at a Brazilian shop he had discovered which sells lots of tight skirt outfits. They are mostly Lycra minidresses for clubbing and partying, but coming from so far away they are a different selection from those I so often see in American and British shops which are all too obviously drawn from a single wholesaler. Not a single dress was familiar to me and some outfits were very hot indeed.

A search I was doing turned up the Cherry Leopard shop. This is aimed at women who self-consciously think of themselves as "sex kittens", and that means a lot of feline motifs - including much leopardskin print, something I have long found very sexy. The clothes are themselves very sexy but with a hint of not taking themselves too seriously: they are not what I would rudely think of as "slutwear", unlike quite a few outfits that turn up on the red carpet these days. There are many tight pencil skirts (so described) and sheath dresses in various prints, with much emphasis on cherries and leopardskin. Skirts and dresses tend to be knee-length, necklines low but not sluttish. If you like Fifties styles, you should look here.

Someone at After Dark Sensations wrote asking me to link to their shop. The URL given points at a page of clothes by "Shirley of Hollywood": there are lots of short Lycra outfits, including many tight minidresses and miniskirt outfits, in various styles ranging from the more classy to the more obviously sexy. The reader should see also "Cocktail Dresses", "PVC" and "Leather" for more tight skirt outfits on sale here.

Someone from the My Knickers.Com shop wrote in suggesting it for a link, and I went to have a look round. I get a lot of copies of the same set of Lycra minidresses but the Dresses page on My-Knickers seems to be entirely new stuff to me. The fabulous "Lycra Halter Neck Dress", with its high front, low back, back lacing and tight, tight skirt drew my attention first, but the various PVC dresses and the "Lurex Glitter Dress" are all first rate examples of what a tight minidress should be. The "Lurex Ringo Dress" is less to my personal taste, but I am sure that plenty of people who like the idea of a skin-tight, stretchy, nearly transparent minidress will love it! I was particularly pleased that there are two stages of enlargement to the pictures, ending in a very large image: buyers can see exactly what they are dealing with, and those who are just there to look can enjoy the beautiful sight. There are more tight skirted outfits on the PVC pages.

My Knickers banner

Another of my discoveries while searching was the Dress for Less shopping site. I found things relevant to the topic of my page under "suits", "skirts" and "dresses". The shop shows wide variety of garments, some from famous designers, many uninteresting to me but some quite the thing.

I discovered Carriages At Three in an Internet search of my own. It is an online shop and, as the old-fashioned, romantic title suggests, it specialises in (relatively) old-fashioned, romantic clothes. This means properly tailored dresses instead of just Lycra. They have some beautiful evening, "prom", bridesmaid and cruise gowns: the real thing with long skirts and tight boned bodices.

Another discovery which I think I made myself, though I'm not sure, was the Lerner Catalogue. This is an online shop which has a catalogue of quality clothes, including a tight sheath dress and various pencil suits and skirts.

Someone at the Surprise Him Lingerie shop wrote in asking me to put up a link, so I had a good look round there and made sure one was justified - which it definitely is. Their range of clothes includes various sexy tight Lycra dresses. Under "Long Dresses", the "Tiger Striped Lurex Opaque Long Dress" is pretty stunning, though it can't be recommended for any occasion that involves climbing stairs! The Sheer Keyhole Buckled Dress is also very glamorous, as are the Slinky Long Halter Dress with Bare Back and the China Doll Dress. Some of the items under "Mini Dresses" are available elsewhere, but they're still sexy, and there are some which are new to me. All the images enlarge to a good size so you can see what is going on.

An admirer of Leatherwife pointed me at the Lew Mangram online shop. This had a superb range of clothes, including a legendary tight-skirted leather suit with a short, waisted jacket that I have known existed since at least 1999 but have never been able to trace. There is an excellent collection of formal, glamorous suits and dresses. The clothes are rather Eighties styles - but I mean this as a compliment. They would be very suitable for formal or office wear. After you finish with the main section, click on "the Outlet" in the top RH corner and explore a whole new range of outfits!

In a search of my own I discovered this French fetish shop. You can find tight dresses under "Robes" and tight skirts under "Jupes"; in particular, there was one truly amazing corset-style tight denim miniskirt with two lines of lacing up the back to pull it as tight as the wearer likes!

Another of my discoveries was Flamenco Export. As many people will probably know, lady flamenco dancers often wear what I would describe as "mermaid dresses", with tight bodices and skirts tight to the knee, then flaring out. It's my favourite style. This site has a range of such dresses for the flamenco dancer who has a good, curvy figure and wants to show it off. I have to issue two warnings about the pictures, though: firstly, the thumbnails are very small, making it hard to see what they are like, and secondly, the fabrics ch
