I created a prototype of my corset yesterday. As I mentioned earlier, I’ve drawn the pattern from scratch based on the shape I wish to achieve with it.

I think I’m beginning to shape up a philosophy about this whole corsetry thing:

The corset is not created to fit you,
the corset creates a shape for you to fit.

The shape I’m working with is entirely different from my previous corset, which was very flat chested in comparison. With this one, I’m aiming to only pull in at the waist, but keep as must of the full bust and hips as possible. Unfortunately the shape doesn’t show at all on the doll, as I can’t tighten the corset on it.

This prototype is just the torso boning part of the corset. I will be cutting the cups out from the shape and creating tailor-fitted cupping to ensure maximum boobage with no flattening. That is if my theory works in practice. Here’s hoping.

As soon as I receive my ka-chink-chunk on Monday, I can put in eyelets and do a first round of fitting and get more appropriate photos of it. More photos then.

A quick fairy tale peek…

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!

Black satin Femme Fatale Strapless corset

I’ve been coveting a corset for years but for some reason haven’t gone out of my way to acquire one.

I guess at first I didn’t know where to get one, and once I did, the whole goth and emo thing was all over the shop already. And the last thing I want is to find myself classified as one of either group. Or any other subculture screaming their little hearts out to be noticed amongst their army of cloned ‘individuality’. No thanks.

I’m just a big fan of spicing up my feminine flair with a tad of fetish items. I mean, a perfect hourglass figure, who wouldn’t want it?

During one of my recent lingerie binges, I was referred to Gallery Serpentine in Enmore. They specialise in goth wear and have a wide range of real boned corsets.

After trying a few different styles on, I chose Femme Fatale Strapless – the one with the most ’50s fetish pinup feel to it. It has a gorgeous sweetheart shaped neckline, lacing in both back and front (cleavage control ladies!) and takes about 5-6 inches off the waist. As a bonus this style is quite roomy in the bust area and can therefore accommodate my breasts.

I wanted mine made out of black satin and ordered an additional modesty panel* under the back lacing as I don’t find back cleavage overly attractive. They didn’t have any size 8s in stock, and since I wanted mine slightly modified, I had to order one in and wait 4 weeks for it.

To be completely honest, it really isn’t comfortable to wear. But breathing is well overrated, right?
