-FOR SALE- One Peice of My Collection: Formal Rave Homecoming Underbust Corset Yellow.

Here is one of the three peices of my collection inspired by raves.

Underbust Yellow Satin Corset with Steel Bonning Black Lace Criss-Cross Laces and Optional Removable Dress

                 

This fancy underbust top would require a nice top because it does not cover the bust. that way, this dres can become very versatile to the wearer of the garment. the back of the garment is beautifully showing the sparkle tulle petty coat that comes with the dress.

There are corset lacing ties on each both sides of the top.

These can be ajusted slightly.

Laced Hem all the way around the dress.

Cool features about this dress:

On the waist line there is a zipper that can remove the yellow flow dress and reveal the sparkle tulle tutu that comes with this dress, for an even more versatile options for the wearer of the dress.

Here are the exact measurements of this garment.

Updates and Delays

Oh time, 

I don't have enough of you. . .

-------------------

Wow . . . It has been more than a month since I have made a blog entry 

T^T

I'm pretty sad about it . . .

But here's what's up

Life seems to bring me many opportunities and many disappointments, especially now that I'm a senior in high school and also dealing with normal teen issues

Bleck!

What are the disappointments?

Well I haven't sewn anything amazing (or much of anything) in a month or so because of all the work loads I am trying to keep up with, and YES I'm talking about the evils of homework

I mean, I had a custom order come in. . . but it was only a wrist band order

And I made another Fluttershy hat that it had her cutie mark

. . . 

Maybe I should have posted that

Anyways, it was for a hat exchange with a friend

Other than that, nothing really significant has come off of my sewing machine

Once again, I cry in the corner

TT^TT

Another thing, I'm not sure if anyone reading this has read my post about a custom cosplay for a friend. 

Yeah. . . not ganna happen

I had to cancel due to all the work I have to do

It is a sad day because that could have gotten me $100 in my pocket

But I guess it is my fault for sort of procrastinating and delaying my schedule, just a tiny bit

Hell. . . idk

Opportunities?

Um . . . 

Well for one thing, I am now responsible of making costumes for my school theater play/movie that we are doing for the semester

(and it will be my last performance from 7th grade to now)

TT^TT

The shows are "Waiting for Godot" and "The Importance of Being Earnest"

Pictures of such will be posted, of course, but that will be in around March

But I'm SO GLAD that I get to sew soon! 

Because I haven't sewn in so long, I have had this DYING feeling that I will loose my motivation and creativity cause of all this GODDAMN WORK ahead of me. . .

I'm afraid that I will loose myself in just the guilt of WORK WORK WOOORK

I'm not sure how to explain it. . .

Just. . . fuck it

Also, a little news on the shop,

I recently went to a convention (SAM Con) at the local alternative cafe

named Cafe Coco

I was selling my hats, wrist bands, skirts, and whatever was waiting to be taken home

I only sold 2 lolita hats. . . 

It was a relatively small con anyways

. . .

Anyways, that's what life has been like for the past month

. . . 

Nyan?

The Shiny Corset

Here is a corset I finished last week, before I started on the Steampunk Victorian dress

A Shiny Red Corset with Steel Boning and Busk

It's sort of a little waist clincher

The material I used for this is kind of a plastic

The fabric itself was almost like a sheet of just red plastic

I would show you the back to show the ribbon ties,

but then I would be making you through up

Other words, it's really gross to look at

;^^; ;

This has a four clasp steel busk and 16 steel rods/boning

This has a 2"-4" back gap and, in this photo, gives me a 24"or 22" (I'm not completely sure) waist line

This is a huge accomplishment to me, cause my waist line (which I will not reveal) is...well...not very tiny like 24" or 22"

Now I have a nice little corset training...corset!

Or even a nice raving/ clubbing garment

Although, I do need advice for some issues

Such as when I start to loose circulation in my right leg

^^;

Heres a better picture of the curve of the waist with a white background

Now I would like to share some interesting construction info that I did

You might have noticed that there is not bias tape

That's because I used a different method of corset construction

A method that most people don't do for corsets using steel boning

What I did instead was first add the busk,

Then I sewed the top hem (under bust) and bottom hem (hip) together

Leaving the horizontal back seem open

Then turned the whole thing inside out

And what a job that was

After many minuets of poking and clipping corners,

I added the bones

Now how I did that was that I left the sandwich channels, at the bottom hem (hip) open,

To allow myself to simply slip the bones right in their appropriate spaces

Then I toped stitched everything, including the back seem together

Then finished off the corset with adding 5 eyelets to each side of the back

This was a pretty good result

I was expecting a frustrating mess

or just a sewing disaster

But it isn't!

:D

Prom Dress 2011

So this week I haven't been doing much of any sewing at all,

which makes me really sad

But I will post this dress that I made at the beginning of the year.

Heres a prom dress I made for the Joann's Prom Contest

Front View

Back View

This is a ball gown corseted top dress with plastic boning and an overlay of red, black, and more black tulle with rime stones as a top layer

Now I'm really sad about this dress for many ill thought of mistakes...

This was one of the many first attempts of making a corset. What I did was that I bought a corset pattern, modified the waist line for a more dramatic curve, and sew an overload of tulle along with a satin under dress.

What I wanted out of the corset was a 2 or 3 inch back gap, a dramatic curve, and, heh make my boobs really pop out...

(But overall I wanted a very tight fit in all places of my torso)

But what happened was that the waist was more snug than tight and breathless, the bust was HUGE, and the hips were awkward and gross appearing

I wish that it would have turned out better cause it would have looked even better if I had just gotten all the measurements correct....

And I wasn't in the top 20 contestants for that contest....

sigh

I might sell this item
