New pretties

I have been hard at work and finally have inspiration back, since October I have made three new corsets with loads more on the way three of which or more are custom orders.

First off is my little sisters first corset, made for her birthday 2nd October. It's waist is 21.5" and is tightlace ready. Full steel bone long line underbust. Cupcake outer layer with hand made (by me) totoro bias binding. She hasn't worn it out properly yet but it does look cute on her as shown below though it isn't fully laced here as she was too busy squealing at me due to the fact it had totoro on it haha so cute.



Next is my older sisters wedding corset and skirt though I will concentrate on the corset in this post. I formed the pattern from scratch from the designs of the 1901 hearts corset, no pattern came with patent so it was a nice challenge. It sports a 23" waist and is sweet heart busted, long line full steel boned with a close front. All corsets are tightlace ready and a minimum of 4" reduction. This was hand decorated with irredescent organza, rhinestones and heart trim.


The last one is one for myself, a 1860 pattern and so small. Underbust, tightlace of 14" waist. Chinese silk brocade of course and silver bias binding. Sadly it isn't fully laced her but it is such a lovely shape.
