Appreciation of the Finer Things in Life

So after looking at the corsets today, trying to decide what to do with them… I couldn’t part with any.

Instead, I’ll post about my favourite piece (and best success in corset-making so far;);

The PVC corset :D And matching wristcuffs..

It was a pain in the butt to make, but I don’t think I’ve ever been happier of finishing something than when I was when this was ready. It fits great, I’ve been complimented about it and reduces the waist nicely while still being comfy. And it looks goooooood. And I’ve got a matching skirt, too. ;) It wasn’t actually that hard to work with PVC as I thought, since this was my first time using it, just needed patience and extra care.

The cuffs to go with it, “boned” with rigilene. The lacing didn’t work out too well and it is hard to tie without help, but I’m still pretty happy about them.

It is funny how the “inspiration” starts driving me crazy right when I have tons of other important school stuff and exams to do.. argh!

So, after the trip to France, no new shoes unfortunately.  And not much other nice things either. A hat.. uh, and a necklace and something. Oh well, money saved. :D

Refreshing my to-do list;

- Red Moulin Rouge corset

- Reconstructed bolero

- Fixing a  shirt

-kitchen curtains..

-Making a wallet

-Aaaand possibly a waist cincher out of fake leather, or something green, or PVC… suggestions?
