Alteration commission

I was approached by a photographer friend of mine to alter a corset for him. So challenge accepted.

Its a 26" vollers overbust in ivory and I have to take it in by 4" at least and on top of this make it into a locking corset. Its an interesting concept and I can see the appeal in the fetish scene as one would only be able to remove the corset or loosen it if they had the key.

So This is a new project I will be documenting over the next few weeks.

To start off here are photos of the corset I used to study it to see where I can make the necessary adjustments


I brought the matching fabric to make the extra pieces and have started altering the size of the corset for them. Normally I would not take such a commission as I like to work on corsets from scratch but it was an intriguing challenge. I will keep note as progression takes place.
