I realized I never got any good pictures of the peachy Edwardian corset, and these aren't much better really! I tried, a while back, to get pictures of the corset on me but those turned out a bit too risque for the internet despite my best efforts to be prim. Corsets are underwear after all! But here are a few more pictures of my pride and joy!
The dress form is no where near curvy enough for this corset! |
which gives the corset a rather ugly uneven lacing gap, but on me I promise it fits like a glove! and there's the brocade dress I'm working on behind ha ha |
Next for me on the corseting front are two more Victorian styles! The first will be an overbust Victorian style from the 1880's like the one below only in a marbled print cotton I fell in love with at Joanns.
And then a modern-ish underbust corset in this valentines-tastic red and pink poly brocade again from Joanns.
And of course I am still finishing my latest pair of 18th century stays! The binding is almost over, thank goodness, and then all I will have left to do are the hand bound eyelets! Oh stay making, not my favorite activity!
This is so enchantingly beautiful! I can certainly see why it's (rightfully) your pride and joy. Amazing work, sweet dear, you so (underline that a thousand times) talented.
