Regarding date variable !

Dear Friends ,

I write a script with 'date' format like below :
Date=`date +%d%b%Y`
The output of '$Date' is : 22Sep2013

But I need this Date format which shows the output of the previous day . I mean If today is 22ep3013 , my $Date format gives me output : 21Sep2013 .

How can I produce it, please help ?

Waiting for your kind reply ... ...

Maybe, I was pondering tossing out
Code:
date +"%d%b_%Y" --date="1 days ago"
