Glamour Advocate ‘Princess Candy Floss’ fancy costume

You know the princess every 5 year old little girl wants to be? That was my inspiration. Over the top, tack-o-rama and ridiculously girly – for once I didn’t have to hold back!

‘Sweet Heather’ corset combined with a knee length three-layered princess skirt. A 6 hoop boned crinoline underskirt, a pale pink silk dupioni skirt with handpleated satin ribbon hem and a draped ivory satin overskirt.

My first attempt at a fancy costume is just around the corner! I don’t think I’ve ever had as much fun designing something. For once I didn’t have to hold back, but instead go as over the top as I possibly could! Pink silk, satin ribbons, frills, bows – the lot!

Here’s a few preview images… I can’t wait to show you the rest!

Glamour Advocate Design ‘Sweet Heather’
This Tudor style corset is the result of 26 (wo)man hours of raw labour and chipped nails. Featuring 26 bones, satin ribbon detailing and made out of  pale pink silk dupioni.

After two days of intense hands on corsetry classes my corset is finally beginning to take shape. I opted for silk dupioni for material and somehow managed to stuff in 26 bones. The pattern itself is a very simple Tudor style corset, but the boning is hard work. Absolutely love the process though, so I doubt this will be my last.

On that note, just received confirmation that my first corsetry book has shipped.

Here’s a couple of photos of the work in progress:

I just found a very promising corsetry course and immediately booked myself in!

Very much looking forward to creating a fully lined & boned tailor made corset from scratch! I’ve got so many divine corset patterns and ideas already forming! Can’t wait to learn how to turn that all into reality. Such excitement – it’ll be fabulous! Can’t wait!
