-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.


Have any questions or interested in buying this dress? Please message me on my Etsy account. Listing link bellow.

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
