Remember this? http://community.livejournal.com/corsetmakers/1616087.html I began it-- Click for supersized view So, I'm thinking, instead of having a whole new sample to lay around my house, I'm proposing placing this image on an underbust, closed-front silk corset for $450 or best offer. Made to your measurements, in your color choice [embroidered/ginghams/pintucks and stripes...

Hey people, I have a question. I have every desire to make a closed front underbust decorated with a very Victorian decoupage kind of effect. If you look at the examples in the images here http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=160346962760 and here http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=17606827 this is the kind of look I'm going for with the...

With my last pregnancy I found my cable tie boned pair of stays, with front and back lacing, most comfortable.

Simplicity just released this month a few new costume patterns. I believe we have the Tudors show to thank for 2621 Women's 16th century undergarments, and 2589 Women's Tudor dress.
