Haha! I had a friend visit last night and we talked about all sorts of things but only made passing mention of Sylvia and her corset. (Sylvia is my dummy and she's currently wearing the first corset I made and some mini top-hats pinned to her shoulders.)

Said friend, however, made the fatal error of asking me this morning about corsetry and I got all carried away by all the new history and theories I'm learning! Bless, I don't think I was too boring!

A lot of my non-crafty friends do seem fascinated by this new skill I'm learning though. I think because corsets are so loaded with possible meaning. Has anyone else had this experience with their friends? I'm hoping that I can use some of my mates for practice in drafting and fitting, any advice or thoughts? Are friends too kind or too critical?!

Many thanks!

The corset:




Sorry the pictures arent that good .... i took them from my modeling portfolio...

I paid £180 for this corset, serious offers only please :)

I come across a set in a "not far from my home" family stock of 4 corsets , but i afraid i can't buy them all so if someone could go on an offer for one or two i could buy the whole set and dispatch (Arrgg my heart will break on this idea to separate this set).But i really can't go on all as i just buy another recently(incluse a pic just for your eye).
I could send other pictures and details on each corset as some got steel bones or real whale bones,both(A,B),missing bones(C),wood (D i think) corded....
Also does anyone could go on dates for those babies and did you ever see the removable bones system of the second one.
I would love to get the A and D one for myself.Well i will try!!

I just done the whole photos tonight and the corset gone till sunday they come back for one day to draft the patterns.

Feel free to get in touch with me with offer.
please follow the link to my own LJ for huge pictures sets

VENUS CORSET 22"

Overbust Corset

for sale!






(www.venus-corsets.com)




Hi corset friends,


I have bought this corset for a good friend from ebay, but now as she has tried it on it does unfortunatly not fit her. 

It is a "off the rack" corset in a standard 22" size.

But as venus corsets does offer some special sizing, this is an extra long corset for a long torso. And it is made for bigger breast, and it only will fit a very full full B ( no guarantee) better a C or a tiny D  cup.

So, nothing for ladies like me. I would keep it for myself if it would nearly fit me in the breast part because I really like the way this is made. And as I can say, the quality for a off the rack corset looks very okay to me.

Well, you can check their HP ( www.venus-corsets.com) for more information and pictures. I try to descripe as good as I can with a lot of pictures behind the cut:

I have 2 bound editions of Peterson's that are for sale. Let me make it clear that I really don't want to get rid of these, but I have to have cash by the end of the month that I had not budgeted for. It seems my Aunt in another state has hocked my Great-Grandmothers wedding band. Ugh, it makes me sick to think of it. So anyway, I have these two great books for sale. Email me for photos if you are interested. I wanted to get the word out that they were for sale asap.

1879
Natural Form era

This book is in pretty good condition. The spine is off, but present so it is fixable. The boards are hanging on the threads, but if taken care of will stay there for a while. 11 fashion plates present. Overall pretty good condition.
Price: $140


1888
High Bustle era

Very Good conditon, the front board is a little fragile. There are 12 fashion plates one is split in half, but is completely present. One other has about a 2" split, but that is all.
Price: $150

Shipping in the US is $10 for either one or both, I'm pretty sure I can get them both in a flat rate box.

Out of US: $35 for one or $45 for both.

Please email me at airyn@hotmail.com if you are interested!

Custom Orders are ALWAYS welcome!

This is the last chance you will have at ordering a corset from cKc in PVC material. I have decided that I would have to make an enormous markup or completely delete the option from the site, because it takes so long to work with the material. I've decided to delete the option. SO! If you would like to order one before 6pm est on 11/5/07 please do so!

Dear Ladies,

i'm setting up my own atelier and want to have my corsets have the name of my atelier and logo stamped on the inside.
I remember from long ago posts, that this requires a special sort of ink.
This because the stamp could stain on the wearers body or otherwise vanish with sweat.

Could anyone advise me on the ink or direct me to a site selling this?

Thanks in advance!
