Those Gore Couture corsets look very nice, but it will certainly be at least Christmas before I have the couple hundred of dollars to spend on one.

I love looking as tall as possible, I'm 5'8 and I'd give anything to have 3 or 4 extra natural inches, I find really tall girls the sexiest kind so don't be too shy! My boyfriend is 6', and he doesn't mind at all that I'm usually a bit taller than him, he likes it. ^_^
If you're worried about the drag queen effect, you can get boots with less noticeable platforms, totally lessens the effect but still looks great, with extra added inches! I love ankle boots the most, they look great with nearly all skirts and they're really versatile. These are my favourite pair at the moment, again the stiletto with the platform - however this platform isn't subtle, so for an idea of what I'm talking about with the covered platform idea click here. (Those shoes aren't subtle at all but you get the idea hopefully!)

If the platform is only about an inch, it's very unnoticeable IMO, especially if they extend the shoe over it. These are another pair of great looking work-suitable shoes, can't beat a classic court!

The courts would look great with a pencil skirt, you have the legs to rock one! Think Mad Men!

I'm 6'4", so I really don't need the extra height, but I do find very high heels to make me happiest. I'm in love with those STRIKE platform court shoes, though I'd prolly be a little self conscious when wearing them at first. Not that they're in my size (16) of course, which is another issue when finding cute shoes. But once I'm ready to buy more work shoes, I'll definitely come to you and we can find some 5+ inch platform heels for me to try. Here are the boots I wore to work today, though this picture was taken last year.
