Corsets!

[hazliya]

So, after lusting after underbust corsets for like, ever, I got these:



This, in brown tartan. The photos really don't do them justice.

Bought them on the 24th, arrived today. Meaning made and shipped in a week.

They're super strong, super comfortable, and awesomely made. Best part? Together, they cost $70. Shipping was extra, but still.

So. Worth. It.

I'm absolutely in love with them.

I was actually really skeptical at first, because he's an Ebay seller, and usually the Ebay corsets are cheap Leg Avenue type things. But I'd heard about this guy from a costuming friend, and am completely floored by how awesome he is.


Keep in mind that most of these come in different colors and range from $30-$60. Awesome for the quality he produces.







I'm thinking of buying from him again by mid-week so that things'll be here for Intercon. Anyone else interested? He'll cut shipping costs if they ship together.

EDIT: AND they come with corset-size garment bags. I'm already back to shopping.

Link?

This (http://myworld.ebay.com/europastyle0092/) is his store.

Ugh. WANT. I want them all.

I don't know how he is so fast AND inexpensive.

I know, right?

I'm not complaining, though. The black leather one is so comfy AND it doesn't squeak.

Woot. I've been lusting after a black leather underbust corset myself. :D Thanks for the link!

Do you happen to have a decent method for guesstimating size?

[hazliya.livejournal.com]

They have sizing charts on the product sites.

Or do you mean that you don't know her waist size? Um, if that's the case, a rule of thumb I've heard is that your waist size is roughly double your neck size. You can also check pant sizes and look up the corresponding waist size.

I might be interested in a traditional, over-bust corset (Victorian style), as mine is falling apart and I don't have the wherewithal to make another one.

And Matt mentions he'd like one that's a little smaller than the one he has, for those times when he's cross-cast :)

On second thought, after looking at the listing, they are not quite what I was hoping for. The materials look like high quality, but they're not quite like the Victorian corset I need. So I will opt out - sorry!
