The Braided Corset

[8thsinner]

This was our show piece being worn at our first stall yesterday, I thought you would like to see it as I remember some interest the other month when I started it.

It was well received at the market.

Speaking of, heres a look at the lay out we had.

As you can see, we didn't have much, but for all the few people passing through we did very well, and lots of people were taking away our 43 page catologue.

Thanks bevan.

I feel that we have started the ball rolling now, just hope there are no big rocks coming down the hill to stop us...

Has no one got anything to say on the actual corset?

Very nice, the braiding looks cool

[WyomingSlick]

Looks hot !!! Yes, visually and physically. Do you line the inside with cotton twill or some other type of corset lining? Are there stays inside of the lacing?

[8thsinner]

Theres no liner for one simple reason, the leather is already 2mm thick, after 12 hours of wearing, which was completely comfortable I might add, it was very warmed and molded, Any lining on top of that would have created a bath of sweat.

Next one, will be done in tougher leather though, this was a little loose for all day wear.

There are stays (bones in corset terminology) in there, fashioned quite cheaply from spring steel bands, but they are removable too.

Beautiful and simple, which makes it more beautiful! And it *does* look comfortable (for a corset).
