Onto Corsets #4 & #5

There is the macaroni and cheese backed "corset of fame", the anorexic leg stripped "corset of hunger", the "Prozac" corset and, now, onto the "recurring nightmare" and "you don't say" corsets. Before my show in September, I would like to have a dozen or so corsets to choose from. The more I produce the less happy I am with my earlier pieces. It's difficult not to start redoing the ones I have have finished and I plan to rework them after I reach my goal of 12.
Today, I ordered 4 dozen pieces of steel boning, 2 sets of lacing bones and some white bone tipping. Corsets are expensive to produce but interesting to make and make an excellent canvas for my images. There are several corset supply companies online and quite a variety of prices. So far I like Corsetmaking.com (Delicious LLC) the best. They are relatively inexpensive and ship quickly.
Pictures will soon follow.
