Blast from the past

Posted on by
I hadn't looked forward to cleaning up my many memory sticks but then I discovered photos of corset we made while in L.A. for various clients....some famous and some on their way to fame.

This was a simple black waist cincher and it worked so well with the white guitar - that I had not known the client had. It was one of those moments "Couldn't have planned it better."

New Corset Copied from a Vintage One

Posted on by
This is one of two corsets I made recently after taking apart a vintage corset I had bought a few years ago and making a pattern from it. It was an awesome exploration process. I used fine herringbone coutil 74-1140-01 which was the exact same pattern as the vintage coutil and made mine a single layer corset just like the vintage one. The original bones were a selection of bailene and spring steel but I used spiral bones for the bailene ones. I included garters as the original had them. I tried to replicate all elements and everything but the lace came from Farthingales Corset Supplies
