more corsets
I took a few more pics today since I had another day off. Still didn't turn out exactly how I wanted them, but it's fine for now



I made this corset for myself for Halloween (I won't even mention how many Halloween's ago) thinking I could make a corset collar that resembled a nun's habit to go with it. I never got around to it, and I don't think I did anything for Halloween either. The front panel is made from a slightly better quality of thin pvc- the kind used for clothing, which I really don't like using. The black is the thick shoe-grade vinyl I prefer to use, but I haven't been able to find it in white. The vinyl cross is just appliqued onto the front.



This corset looks a lot better in real life, it was too big for my form and didn't photograph well. Things with metal bits never do. I love military stuff, so I'd wanted to do this look with the metal buttons for a while. I don't know what those stripes on the front of uniforms are officially called, but if anyone does, I'd love to know. I'm thinking of doing something similar with a coat with leg o' mutton sleeves in the future- also in olive leather and patent. This corset also only has 8 panels, because I didn't have much leather left to do my usual 12. I think I would have preferred it my usual way though.

I made this overbust out of a crocodile (alligator? who knows) embossed patent leather I had sitting around for around 5 years. It's a bit too reflective to get a good picture of. It's actually the same pattern as the leather overbust from the previous post, I just graded the pattern up a few sizes. I was in a rush and made this in about 2 days to wear to an iron maiden concert. Generally I don't think patent leather really works that well with corsets that curve over the bust- as opposed to being straight like an 18th C corset. It just seems to wrinkle more.
