in my latest new corset that is. All I have left to do on my fabulous pink and brown Madame X corset tonight is a bit of hand sewing on one section of the binding and putting in grommets. Yay! I really like the look of this corset. The brown satin brocade was a good choice. I'll post pictures as soon as it's done (hopefully tomorrow but no promises). Who knew that chocolate brown and pink would be so fabulous?
Since all of my other corsets are massively too big and have been sold off, given away, or recycled for parts, I'm having way too much fun planning the next one. I have some giraffe print velveteen that just might turn into a new waist cincher. Not the post practical fabric choice for functional underwear, but I was thinking it would be fun for an outwear sort of corset. Maybe with brown satin casings and bindings, that would be kind of fun.
Hopefully this weekend I will finally get started on the cheongsam. I've pretty well given up on going to the erotic food thing in Sonoma so I should have all day Saturday to work on this and at least part of Sunday afternoon (Sunday morning I have to be a big stupid fundraiser breakfast for OES). Once I get going on that I can start on the corset for my 1909-ish dress. That should be fun. I still need a busk but I can at least get the pattern worked out and everything cut and put together before this becomes a huge issue, and can work on the Regency corset while I'm waiting for the busk to get here. How very practical of me!
