Silver for a star

Another order from a returning customer, when I say returning this lovely lady has ordered about 6 corsets to date. I enjoy working with her. Anyway it was a lovely silver corset this time in silver satin and it's just a yummy colour. The photos do it no justice

Sparkles in fuchsia

Wow I've been so busy lately. This corset I actually made a month ago but there you have it. There was a red one I made for the same customer at the same time with silver swing hooks but alas I couldn't get a photo of it ( I was finishing it off when they arrived to try on the pink one)

Anyway the pink corset is a long line underbust which is covered in over 18000 rhinestones in a decorative paisley pattern. 

Yes it was embellished completely by hand and took a while to make but well worth it!

PVC repair

This is a rather short blog. I was given a corset by a male friend of mine to fix.

I must say that it was a PVC corset. And whilst there were real steel bones throughout the materials were not great. The lining/strength layer seemed to be very light weight twill and there was only one bone in the back by the grommets.

This is what I had to work with 

In this case I removed the entire back panel and replaced it with special corsetry PVC and two layers of corsetry cotton. I added two sturdy steel bones either side of the grommets and added more grommets. Much better. I also added the modesty panel back on.
