Corsets!

    Wednesday, November 5, 2008, 8:55 PM [General]

    This corset was made from an old shirt we won from in an auction lot. The shirt was really lovely but we wanted to give it a new life and look. So we took it apart carefully and cut out the corset pattern. We used Flat Steel boning, Lacing Bones, Black Bias tape, Black Grommets and a Black lacing cord. One side did come out shorter then the other we figured it was from when we trimmed the top and bottom of the corset. The mistake was not cough until prepping of the photos. We used a super fluffy pillow as the dummy. This corset is a size 12.

    This corset was made from a satin Chinese style shirt. In our excitement on making this corset we had forgotten to take pictures of the Original shirt. This corset is lined with black cotton fabric. We used twill fabric to reinforce the busk area. This Corset is a size 10 It has black Grommets and 3 yards of black lacing cord. The design is Chinese Dragons and peacocks. We used Black Satin Bias Edging. Flat Steel Boning Fits these measurements the best (just a guideline): Bust 32 1/2 inches Waist 25 inches Hip 34 1/2 inches If you are wanting to tight lace and are bigger then these measurements please be advised that one should take special precautions on this. For safe tight lacing we recommend that the body be a size 12 (the fallowing measurements are a guideline for a size 12). Bust: 34 inches waist: 26 1/2 inches hip: 36 inches

     

    This is an over bust style corset. This is a longer version then our other corsets. We even added a drawstring around the top to help make it a better fit for those who wish it. ..."try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=16214145">
