Alexis_ wrote: Oh i was so disappointed by Meschantes. I bought a corset from them expecting the real thing, and i get this little two-layered flimsy plastic boned thing from them. its really pretty, but rather useless when it comes to a corsets basic purpose. I even tried to get am immediate refund, but they never replied back to me!!

Mar 21 09 09:22 pm Link Don't be bragging about your 18inchers! :9 Mar 21 09 09:23 pm Link I'm wanting to get one of these: http://www.puimond.com/py03.htm# I don't know anyone who actually has one of his corsets though. (Oh man... if I win the lotto, I'd love a corset dress or top Mar 21 09 09:42 pm Link Dagon Treads Water wrote: Mar 21 09 09:50 pm Link Pathogenic Confessions wrote: Those look really good. I'll definitely consider them next time I buy a corset (which will probably be a while. I barely get much use out of the 6 I already have!) Mar 21 09 09:52 pm Link Hey thanks for the info! :-) Mar 21 09 09:58 pm Link Pathogenic Confessions wrote: I just odered something from them! XD I can't wait to get it! Mar 21 09 11:09 pm Link Cuteyhoney wrote: I can pretty much guarantee you'll love it Mar 23 09 03:06 pm Link Question: Must a corset have a busk in order to work? Or is lacing in the front and back acceptable? Mar 29 09 01:20 pm Link Jellokittie wrote: I believe so. Mar 29 09 01:24 pm Link I'm so glad this was bumped! *absorbs the information* Mar 29 09 01:46 pm Link Jellokittie wrote: Ooh! Good question! Mar 29 09 02:52 pm Link Kamarose wrote: Good to hear. That's exactly the kind of corset I've been making! Mar 29 09 03:43 pm Link Dave the design student wrote: Thank you!

Still, would certainly be faster with a busk. Mar 29 09 03:49 pm Link Jellokittie wrote: It would also be easier to lace tight for most people. Mar 29 09 04:07 pm Link Couldn't read the entire thread. But would discuss working with New England models in this genre (later in the summer).

I like them for finishing the backs of my corsets but not all clients find them comfortable since they have very minimal flex. Mar 30 09 06:56 am Link That is NOT a corset, NOT a corset, NOT a corset 0.0 Sorry, it has nothing to do with this thread, but something (obviously) is driving me nuts Mar 30 09 04:11 pm Link Pathogenic Confessions wrote: Ha! There is a certain forum section I try very hard to avoid for just that reason. Mar 31 09 06:31 am Link Exquisite Restaint (www.exquisiterestraint.com) is one of the most respected corset designers and is worn by the top fetish models. They have a great FAQ section in their site: http://www.exquisiterestraint.com/faqs.html Their designer Simone has been interviewed numerous times by the media about corset fit and design.

I recommend a great booking for the history and construction is from author Norah Waugh "Corsets and Crinolines" Apr 15 09 04:38 pm Link I think I want to get one made for me... if you get it custom, it will fit my boobs without squeezing them too much right? I've never worn a "real" one.

Apr 15 09 04:59 pm Link I haven't tried this person's work, but they look sturdy as hell and cute! http://de.dawanda.com/shop/FrouFrou Apr 20 09 04:21 pm Link Pathogenic Confessions wrote: If I were to buy from another maker, I would give one of those a try. They are finished extremely nicely. Apr 20 09 07:47 pm Link I got my corset from here, custom made from my own design, and it takes me down to 22 inches, they're very friendly people, and i totally love them and cannot promote them enoguh- I'll be buying two more corsets from them in the very near future http://www.okstudio.com.au just in case you wondered, my precious precious baby (aka corset) is a black velvet underbust which comes down to a shallow V at the bottom on the front Apr 21 09 03:48 am Link Bump and a tip: if the corset you're thinking about buying is sold in sizes such as small, medium, large or 6,10 etc... don't buy it. They are sold by waist size if its the real thing. Jun 18 09 08:20 am Link For Aussies, Obsidian Lace https://www.modelmayhem.com/1057577 and Vanyanis https://www.modelmayhem.com/750629 both do some really gorgeous stuff. I've tried Obsidian's corsets before and they are divine, really superbly crafted and rock sturdy. Vanyanis just does some awesome looking outfits. Jun 18 09 08:33 am Link I swear the tip that I found most useful is to put your shoes on first. After you're laced in, you're going barefoot or recruiting the photographer to help Jun 20 09 10:22 am Link TheStitchWitch wrote: That's what I've always believed, but then I stumbled upon http://www.bibianblue.net/. Does anyone have any experience with them? Their corsets are gorgeous. Jun 21 09 10:20 am Link Miss BeeHavin wrote: The old goth mantra goes "Boots, then corset." Jun 21 09 07:41 pm Link |
