Members chazbot Posted October 14, 2010 Members Report Posted October 14, 2010 (edited) Okay, so this is my second attempt at women's wear, i don't have pictures of it being worn yet, but hopefully i can add them soon! Edited October 14, 2010 by chazbot Quote
Members BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted October 14, 2010 Members Report Posted October 14, 2010 Umm let me preface this by saying I don't want this to sound sexist. Items like garments really do look better when modeled, It isn't like a saddle, or a purse where you can look at it as it is. A corset on the other hand is hard to evaluate on a table because you cannot tell how it fits the person. It looks interesting, and well made. I'll keep an eye out for the other pics. Quote You laugh at me because I am different. I laugh at you because you are all the same.

Lol, yeah, I know, It would look much better on her than on the table. Unfortunately, she is in another state. It is in the mail now though, should be there around Monday and then I can have better pictures posted. I didn't find your remarks sexist at all, and I love your ID picture, I laugh every time I drive past that billboard down town Quote
Members BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted October 15, 2010 Members Report Posted October 15, 2010 Thanks, I didn't want to come across as a knuckle dragger. Even though I live in NV, I fully support AZ in this decision. Whereabouts in Arizona are you? Quote You laugh at me because I am different. I laugh at you because you are all the same.

Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted October 15, 2010 Contributing Member Report Posted October 15, 2010 It looks like a pretty good design and the color is really nice. Since this is in "show off" and not "critique my work", I'll hold my comments.....but I do have a few if you're interested. I agree that this would look much better modeled.

Members BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted October 15, 2010 Members Report Posted October 15, 2010 Hey Chazbot, you are not that far from me being in Kingman. My old business partner just moved there to be near his dad who has 40+ acres on the edge of town. Back when he bought the property it was $1,000 per acre. Moapa Valley is 50 miles North East of Las Vegas as you head to Utah on the 15. I too know about the heat, and we run a bit hotter then you do since we are only 1,500' elevation , and it is only muggy during the July monsoon season, so I am OK with it. I just had another large hairy scorpion ( 4" ) pay a visit. I catch, and release because they eat the cockroaches. The only 2 things I miss from Northern CA are trees, and fresh produce.

Members MBOGO Posted October 18, 2010 Members Report Posted October 18, 2010 Is it for Grace Jones? Quote
Members chazbot Posted October 19, 2010 Author Members Report Posted October 19, 2010 Is it for Grace Jones? I don't know anyone named Grace Jones, sorry. It was for my little sister's Halloween costume. Quote
Members chazbot Posted October 20, 2010 Author Members Report Posted October 20, 2010 Here are the pictures of my little sis in her new corset, what do y'all think? Okay, so this is my second attempt at women's wear, i don't have pictures of it being worn yet, but hopefully i can add them soon! Quote
Glaisne Posted October 20, 2010 Report Posted October 20, 2010 Looks great! The fit is amazing. As for Grace Jones: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Jones Quote My roots are in the depths of the woods. - Galle
Members joquarter Posted October 20, 2010 Members Report Posted October 20, 2010 Wauw she looks like an amazone ,in that outfit. The only thing I should do is change the strings , for leather laces. Quote Greets jo-quarter www.e-leather.nl
Members MBOGO Posted October 20, 2010 Members Report Posted October 20, 2010 Terribly sorry, I forgot to say that it looks really good in my first post. How did you get such a good fit if she lives out of state? It looks like veg-tan leather, is that right? Any lining? Quote
Members chazbot Posted October 21, 2010 Author Members Report Posted October 21, 2010 It is made from veg tanned leather, oil dyed, no lining, I asked if she wanted the leather laces but she liked the look of the hemp cord. She sent me her measurements and I just kinda guessed. Thanks! Terribly sorry, I forgot to say that it looks really good in my first post. How did you get such a good fit if she lives out of state?

Members MBOGO Posted October 21, 2010 Members Report Posted October 21, 2010 You are a world class guesser. Great job, I was thinking there was a duct tape pattern made off of her torso, or some such thing. You know she is gonna hit you up for bracers, and some sort of elven type headgear or other next... Have fun Quote
