The world of corsets



I had to title this in 80 characters. I think that would be too long a title to be effective and my mind changed the character limit to word limit.

A simple corset made ornate with its pattern of black flowers on royal purple silk polyester. A faux purple lace through casing runs along the top of the corset and down. The lace stitch in the front invokes the behind the scene connections of the eyelets and the black ribbon that holds up the corset. The channels of acrylic bones with a vertical flow enhance the wasp waist appearance. Find your waistline without a tug-of-war.

While working on this, I realised that faux bones are needed to make corsets. 

A good book on the history of corsets.
