Dreamy Red

One of my regular customers returned and asked for something a little different. I was told to make a plunge overbust with a zip front.

The corset is made out of coutil, heavy bridal quality satin and dream red delicate lace. It also has 27 steel bones throughout the corset.

So I did some extra work, found a super heavy duty zip, made it a hidden zip with a cover as well as a heavy boned plaket/modesty panel under the zip to hold the stomach flat and support the zip. 

Overall I'm happy with it and can't wait to see it on the customer.

Stripes and Feathers

Remember a while back I posted up two sneak previews of an order I was working on? Well I finished those months ago but I was waiting for the client to debut them in an act. Anyway without further ado here are my pretty creations

For both of them I was given creative license and a very vague description.

The first one was something 'Foxy' as in actual foxes as well as vaudeville inspired and swing hooks were a must on both.
 I'm also in the middle of making a larger sized mannequin so I can show off some of the curvier/larger corsets better.

The second corset I was given the brief 'Mad max/diesel punk' inspired. And I was acted to use feathers, fur, anything to make it look dystopian. So I used real game bird feathers, peacock feather, real leather and yes that is a real bone, I found it in the garden, (we have wild foxes here so I think they must of dragged it in or dug it up as we don't have a dog) which I cleaned and disinfected rigorously before attaching it.  

I have loads more orders coming from this client so I think she's happy with them.
There are more updates to come as I am a busy corsetiere right now
