I made this corset quite a while ago.
And a view of the front.
I thought burgundy flossing and trim would really set off the anthrazite dupioni. It did. And yes, that is the way I described the colors in my mind as I was working. But once the corset was finished all I could see was The Ohio State University's scarlet and grey. So in honor of tomorrow's football game against Michigan I present what I now always think of as the Go Bucks corset.
Go Bucks!

It is a beautiful piece, I like it very much.
ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS. I can only hope that when I descend into the madness that will be corset making, my works is half as beautiful as yours...
ReplyDeleteThank you!
ReplyDelete"Descend into he madness that will be corset making," Funny. But so true.
That is such a lovely corset - beautiful shape and colour (but then I have no idea what the football team is supposed to look like....so if they are similarly coloured - then they show good taste!)
ReplyDeleteAgain, beyond stunning!
ReplyDeleteWould you mind terribly if I featured your blog on mine? I´ve linked this gem a few times over the ... some time... but I know that there are a lot of people that would wisen up in the art of corsetry by simply looking over your posts.
"anthrazite dupioni"....I knew I loved you for a reason!
ReplyDeleteThanks Vande Historic Costuming! And the football team does look great in their scarlet and grey, a bit more manly than my corset though.
ReplyDeleteWeirdRockStar, thank you, and I'd love to be featured on your blog!
It's so beautiful! Did you draft that pattern yourself? I love everything about this. Your work is lovely.
