Nellie, I hadn't seen that corset before (for sure, not that pic)! Yowza! Great fit, and great fabric!

LL, you'd better get a photo of that corset up PDQ, 'cause it's so lovely. And your Wild West Wonder Woman outfit, too!

Gypsy, you're home with three kids and NO CAMERA? How the heck's he gonna know what they look like by the time he gets home? Arrggh!

Cheers,

[Allie Mo]

Hello,

This is one of the best, most fun, saloon-girl costumes ever.

Regards,

Allie Mo

p.s. What happened to the bottom half of the photo? It just got chopped off. LL, love the shoes and mesh stockings!

[Lady LaSalle]

Thanks for putting me and my "Lady Liberty" outfit back up, Mo! :w2

[Lady LaSalle]

Thanks, Ruff! That has probably got to be my two favorite pictures of my and Kelsey! And I like the "rear" view the best!

[Tornado Alli]

I have been waiting to find a good resizing tool (free) that I could download so that I can easily resize and post pictures. I finally found it!! So here is a picture of me in my corset from last weekend! Yea!!!!!!!!!!!

[Greeneyed Gypsy]

Yep ...me with no camera but only till the 15th then I can get a new one...with a few more bells and wistles than the last!

Looking good ladies...I just ordered some new fabric for a new corset for ME! I had a real time trting to decided between the green or the LIME green with Purple !! ( I may still do both!) So give me a few weeks and I will post a few too. "Cupcake" has been begging for a "kelsy" corset...I may have to give in soon...LOL

[Wallaby Jack]

[Kid Sopris]

A single cowboy in Las Vegas, has got no good reason to look at these here gals!........Ahh what the heck just one more look, or two ! :2

[Greeneyed Gypsy]

Kid ...you got to be careful throwing words like "single" around with us girls listening...we might get the idea that you need lookin' after.

There is just something all together wrong with a good looking cowboy wandering around unattached like...

Greeneyed (fair warning) Gypsy

[Angel Outlaw]

yeah, what GG said, specially one from Vegas :)

[Coffee Em]

But Kid, you're supposed to look! It'll hurt their feelings if you don't, not to mention it would be wasting all that film/camera memory...

Cheers,
Coffee Em

[Lady LaSalle]

Ya'll are gonna have to wait until tomorrow to see pictures of me in my new gypsy corset :ss , but I have to tell you that I LOVE IT!!!!! :dc It's comfy, curvy, and black-----what more could a girl ask for? I sewed on 2 black venise lace applique's (by hand again------BTW, this hand sewing crap is all Quickdraw Pinkerton's fault [but that's another story] :nuhnuh ) and then accented them with just a couple little gold beads {yes, folks-------I have lost my ever lovin' mind! :goofy }! Hubby said that he liked me in it very much, but stated he preferred me out of it altogether even more! evilb: :sk

[Four-Eyed Buck]

:nuhnuh :eek: :noe

[NoGunz Kay]

Well, before the meltdown, I had posted my corset and petticoat on my "Womanquin" but with the submissions ruling, I had my daughter take a pic, actually it took 4 to get a descent one, plus cropping, etc. So beware, don't blame me for any cases of blindness, or madness that result from viewing this pic, but here it is: If I can remember how to do this.

[Greeneyed Gypsy]

Wahoo...Kate! you look great girl!! I never met so many silly women in my life you all got too many silly issues! :re

Greeneyed (beautiful I tell you :) ...now go shoot something!) Gypsy

[Blazin' Cali Rose]

Nope, no madness or blindness just a Yayyyyy for an awesome job!!! :bow

Cali

[Clancy]

Issues??? Whos got issues?..If only i was 20 bls lighter, had liposuction, face lift, breast reduction, teeth whitening,hair colouring.. i too would feel good about myself...well maybe for at least 10 minutes.....

Ooppps sorry my names Clancy not Melanie Griffth

[Jessie Lyn]

Clancy - What are you talking about there girl.. I have seen your pixs and none of what you said applies to you. :nuhnuh

[Greeneyed Gypsy]

SEE ?!?!? SEE!!?!? Nuts the lot of you!

And CLancy remember I has met you in the flesh dear...here is you sign...quit being so dumb! :re :re :re

[Lady LaSalle]

Ok, here is my new Gypsy corset!

[Lady LaSalle]

Here is the front view

[Four-Eyed Buck]

Whoa!!!!!!!! :cgun :fm

[Lady LaSalle]

Here is an upclose front picture. I put on the appliques and beaded them ( I still can't believe that I did that!) So Buck, you like the corset? It's nice, huh? :w2

[Four-Eyed Buck]

Nice work...........Buck :cgun

[Greeneyed Gypsy]

wAHOO..iTS GREAT :ss :ss I even like the graffiti you added to my pristinely perfect corset...LMAO... :lool :lool :lool :lool

[Fannie Kikinshoot]

Hey LL, I have that same petticoat. I love it. :whip

[Allie Mo]

Hi LL,

Thank you for posting the close up. I made a plain black coutil corset. If I add some satin trim, it could be outerwear (as in Saloon Girl).

Thanks,

Allie Mo

[Nellie Blue]

Calamity! I love your corset and petticoat! It looks great!

And LL/GG!!! Wow!!! Beautiful job on the corset and beautiful job on the trim! What...have you gone on a hand sewing binge!?! LL, you look fantastic in it!

[NoGunz Kay]

Thank you right kindly all. My face shows how tired I was at about 11 last night. Youngun also asked me to remove my specs so I was wide eyed trying to see her and tell her how to operate the camera. I thinkin of making a new corset though, I've "grown" a bit since I made that one a few years ago and I've used it for Victorian dressing and for Renaissance dressing too. Where would be the least expensive place to get a busk with shipping prices that aren't an imitation of high way robbery? :rolleyes:

[Drydock]

On behalf of the armed forces of the United States, I say again:

I love this site!

And with proper diet and excercise, may eventualy get my heart rate and blood pressure under control . . .

[Zeb]

:w2 'Is iz gittin' ta be my favorite website! :sk

[Greeneyed Gypsy]

Kay
"corset making supplies" has busks for about 15$ and Hedgehog works has the best price bones. Dont forgrt your grommets and laces...the 20$ you will pay for a yard of Coutil is WELL WORTH it in both sturdiness and cuts and sews like a dream! Grannd Companies does good buisness as well as Farthingales.

[Kid Sopris]

Okay I guess I have to go to confession now, I looked more than I said I would. And about being single it wasn't neccessarily my choice..It just worked out that way. :goofy But the reaL SURPRISE here is that you tell me there are single women folk here on this website? Com'on you're joshin me right?
Well I guess I will Have to get on my :pony and see If I can just :lasso , one.
(strictly for legitimate christian sporting purposes of course). :2

[WymoreWrangler]

Wow, what a great site... I've missed alot not being on this board... :)

[Hugh Damwright]

Yes, it is Great. You have missed plenty not being a member, but playing catch-up can be really fun! Welcome aboard pard', now don't be a stranger and bring your friends!! :cheers

[Greeneyed Gypsy]

Miss Scarlett Starr happens a single, widowed, and I happen to know for a fact has an empty dance card for convention...perhaps you two will have the chance to be introduced properly in December. :w2

Greeneyed (what?!!? :re Didn't you SEE his website?? he is one heck of a cowboy!!) Gypsy AKA Daughter in Law to Miss Scarlette Starr :cti

[Kid Sopris]

Now it might be a coincidence or some might call it fate! But I will be at the SASS Convention working in the Happy Trails Childrens Foundation Booth, encouraging you Cowgirls and Cowboys to get one or more of them Fine posters with your picture on it. Kid (who thinks he might need dancing lessons) Sopris. :dc
p.s. I wonder were a cowboy might fine a picture of Miss Scarlet Starr ?

[Nellie Blue]

I have a feeling you're going to have LOTS of dance partners! Here's Scarlett Star...

[Kid Sopris]

Nellie do you know something I don't know ?.( Don't answer the obvious :10 )

[Nellie Blue]

I just have a feeling a good looking, single man at the parties will be a hot commodity! :rofl Right, ladies!?

[Kid Sopris]

:o Now what do I say to that? (Thank You)

[Greeneyed Gypsy]

I agree Nellie!!! and the poor bloke walked into it all unknowing and all. Mum is a short little thing about 5'1". We will make sure to stop by and say hello in Dec :noe

Greeneyed (what about ifin' you is a cowgirl?? Hows that poster gonna read??) Gypsy

[Kid Sopris]

Conspiracy! :grin Thats what it is, plain and simple. " When two or more ladies gather together with the intent, (with or without malice), to cause or prevent from natural happenings, any direct course, or discourse of nature, or to perpetrate against any male or a group of males, invoking any Physiological condition of Biblical proporation which results in misdirection of blood flow to the central nervous system and the corresponding appendages and renders the victim senseless, stupid, idiotic and otherwise hopelessly lost for words. (typical male behavior), upon meeting a woman or a group of women for the first time". :fm
(This reaction is the only way you will know we really care). :ban

[Kitty Phann]

Sometimes, you men need a push!

[Fannie Kikinshoot]

It's good to be the Judge

[Kid Sopris]

Kitty, Kitty, Kitty. Now there you go using the wrong word to describe a action that needs to be taken. Please use the right word to describe your intention! OH the word...

[Kitty Phann]

Ok, so how is gentle but firm guidence! :kbutt

[Lizzie Marie]

Fannie, it is a good thing my sista is not the jealous kind of wife or you and she would be :33 and someone one would get a :kbutt (hehehe) great pictures by the way....

[Wallaby Jack]

Yep.....

.... but is that what she'll be wearin' under it NEXT time ??

:kbutt


:fm :fm :fm

[Catawba Kate]

Well, I finally have a picture of me in a corset! :noe Actually, it isn't even my corset, it's Shawme's. While filiming at Tin Star they needed another saloon girl so Alli and Shawme had to lend me everything you see. So none of it's mine! :18 But I really liked this corset that Shawme made so I wanted you all to see what a nice job she did on it. I think Tequila liked it too. :w2

[Pretty Mean Shawme]

You looked great Kate!

[Drydock]

Now don't she look just like her avatar in that shot? Lovely, just lovely.

[Black Jack McGinnis]

Yeh, there ya go with them pics from Texas again! :re :)

[Catawba Kate]

:chockiss :chockiss :chockiss Drydock, will you be my puppy? :w2

[Prussian Blue]

Ok, here's mine... but there is no way you are actually going to see me in it!

Cheers

PB

[Catawba Kate]

Prussian Blue, so good to see you here. Your corset is beautiful!! Put it on!! :whip

[Kitty Phann]

Prussian Blue your corset is beautiful!

Kate, when I saw your corset picture I thought well she finally has underwear! :lool

[Duzy Wales]

Prussian Blue, your corset is lovely and would be much prettier on you. :)

Kate, when I saw the picture of you in your corset (Or Shawme's) I brought Longeye in here to see it. We both love it! You all look great.

Shawme, that is a great picture of you without your pretty dress!

Alli, Longeye and I love your new avatar too.

I just went to the last page to try to catch up, but everyone is looking good here on the Alley. Congrats to all of you!

Duzy :)

[Catawba Kate]

Kate, when I saw your corset picture I thought well she finally has underwear! :lool
Why yes, Kitty you are so correct. I guess there was some discussion awhile back as to whether I had unmentionables or not. So this proves it....sorta.....seeing as how they aren't even mine!!! :18 So does that mean I still don't have undies?? :re
Duzy darlin' thank you for your kind words. We hope to see you and Longeye soon in Charlotte. We miss you all. :)

[Diamond Deb Goldvein]

I finally got pictures of my new corset !! They aren't as good as I wanted but I've got to post them anyway. I love it!! I'm hoping to get some better ones at our Underwear Day shoot in October.

I love the black & white corset that Kate is wearing !! That is gorgeous.

Diamond Deb Goldvein

[Duzy Wales]

WOW! You both look great! The corset is lovely and goes so well with the vest! :) Duzy

[Drydock]

Would I be your puppy? I reckon that would involve following you around, drooling, toungue hanging out, hoping for a pat on the head or a belly rub.



Yep, I could do that . . .

[Fannie Kikinshoot]

Drydock, don't make me change your avatar. :l00l

[Wallaby Jack]

:eek: How did this get to page 3 ???? :eek:

[Catawba Kate]

Why did you let it get to page 3???? :33

[Lizzie Marie]

That's what I was wonderin' also :18 come Wallaby keep up with it :re

Well..............

57 BTT's in a row ain't gonna look real good on my resewmay, am it ?

[Four-Eyed Buck]

Fannie, I believe you enjoyed that............. :whip :re :w2

[Coffee Em]

Well, doggone, I guess we just need to produce more new corsets! (Wait 'til Gypsy gets back from Florida; maybe she's got some underthings on her to-do list. And shouldn't we be starting to see some of those new can-can and saloon girl outfits being readied for the convention?)

Cheers,
Coffee Em

[Ida Hands]

So many beautiful corsets! All you ladies are so beautiful in them. I need to make mine NOW! Single? Yes, Lioness is a single lady too. I don't know any men around here that are interested in this SASS stuff. I'd love to go to the convention, but my son asked for a December birthday trip to Disneyland to stay in the Grand Californian for a few days. Otherwise, I might ask for a sashay around the dance floor too! (Please)(if I could get up the courage) :re

[Kid Sopris]

Sent you a email, Lioness! :lasso

[Carolina Lucky]

Wow,

This is a whole lot better than arguing over what a "gamer" is. I should have come over here from the SASSnet a long time ago. :bow

Lucky

[Four-Eyed Buck]

Uh, oh. The secret's out...........Buck :re :eek: :rolleyes:

[Catawba Kate]

Wow,

This is a whole lot better than arguing over what a "gamer" is. I should have come over here from the SASSnet a long time ago. :bow

Lucky
There's something for everyone Lucky! Send the rest of your pals on over!! There's plenty of room! :dc :tban

[Coffee Em]

Lioness, what do you mean, ask for a sashay? You just walk up to one of those cowboys, grab hold of both his ee-lastic galluses and pull 'em out tight, and say, "Either you dance with me, or I let go of these."

Most cowboys understand subtle hints like that one. :kiss

Cheers,
Coffee Em

[Nellie Blue]

So THAT'S the trick!!! :rofl

If any ladies would like to test this theory, I am willing to suffer through and allow myself to be used as a guinea pig..... Tough job, someones gotta do it! :tban

[Kid Sopris]

KID ( who answers in a high Squeky voice do to compression of body parts caused by a pulling sensation of clothing, at the hands of a female.) Responds: IT WORK'S, no need to demonstrate, threaten in a nice calm voice I will comply. Sheesh such violence amongst women folk.:rolleyes:

[Coffee Em]

Lucky, we've already settled the gamer question to our satisfaction: see Nellie Blue's sig line! So now we can go on to important stuff, like, say, Which is purtier, the Doré corset or the Silverado? {whisper mode on: the correct answer is, "Any corset with one of you gals inside it is the purtiest." Don't let on I told you. whisper mode off}

Boys, you know we'd never lay unkind hands on you! I just like to see you turn a little pale, with those cute li'l beads of sweat poppin' out on your foreheads.

Cheers,
Coffee Em

[Kitty Phann]

Speaking of corsets.......how do you decided on which corset to make....the Dore or the Silverado? I have the pattern, and fabric now just need to figure out which corset will work the best for me.

[Lizzie Marie]

Kitty check out this on the TV site
Corset (http://trulyvictorian.netfirms.com/LM100.html)

[Kitty Phann]

Thanks, Lizzie! I didn't even know that was available on the TV site.

[Kitty Phann]

That Heather is awesome!

[Karolina]

This is my LM Silverado that I made earlier - I'm pretty pleased with it but I should have made more room for my hips. I'm working on a Doré now so we'll see how that goes...

:w2 I cudn't agrees witcha more, Wallaby! She shore iz pleasent on tha eyes! :go

[Karolina]

I'm blushing!!! Stop it guys!

[Zeb]

:rolleyes: Aw-shucks Ma'am, now ya gots me ta blushin'! Yer a very purtyful lady! :kiss

[Kid Sopris]

Hey guys don't you think RED is a great color!. I too like Red on pretty Girls!.

[Kitty Phann]

Karolina, Let me know which one fit the best and which was easier to make. How was it to make the silverado?

[Four-Eyed Buck]

Since Drydock's on this side of the pond, don't know if his fellow servicemen will get to see, but they would be very impressed. Very nice Karolina...........Buck :cgun :ss

[Coffee Em]

Pretty pretty pretty! (And aren't Victorian gals supposed to blush?)

Karolina, is that chemise the Simplicity 5726 "Fashion Historian" pattern? I just finished the Laughing Moon chemise, and though their corsets may be the best on the market, I didn't like the way the chemise went together, and don't much care for the finished product. I've got Simplicity 5726, and thought I'd give it a shot, so any reports from an experienced product tester would be much appreciated.

Particularly, when made up as specified, is the neckline low enough in front and back so it doesn't show under a ballgown bodice?

Cheers,
Coffee Em

[Karolina]

Thanks so much guys..

Kitty, I'll post pictures when ready and tell you my opinions, I promise...
:book

Coffee Em, this is actually the TV pattern and it's great. How high/low it is depends intirely on how much you pull the neckline ribbon. I don't know if it would be low enough for a ballgown bodice, guess it depends on how low your bodice neckline is. If it's very low, maybe you should try making a chemise with no shoulder straps? I think we discussed that on the TV board a while ago... Hope that helps!

(better picture of my chemise)

Awwww..... how cute is she ( goodness I am getting OLD!)
You look great dear and you did a BEAUTIFUL job on that corset!! I like how you trimmed the undies too!

[Blazin' Cali Rose]

How absolutely beautiful you and your corset are! Congrats on a job well done.

Coffee Em-- I didn't like the LM chemise pattern either but might have to try the TV one when I get to sew again. lol

So my husband told me to go put it on lay-by as he was going to buy it for me for christmas....So what ever i dont spend on my travel allowance while im in Washington i will come back and get it out!...

Found another picture of a different corset that hasn't been posted yet.

Out of the fire into the frying pan might be the approprate way to twist a phrase for this.
Gotta go find a purty picture to look upon now.

Wallaby,

I thought this thread was started to thank LMB for fixing the Alley...not scare him to the point that he will never help again!

Unfortunately this reminds me of the stages of UGLY

One bagger - You put a bag over his/her head.

Two bagger - You put a bag over your head in case his/hers falls off.

Three bagger - You put a bag over the dog's head, so he doesn't bite him/her, when they leave in the morning.

COYOTE UGLY - You would rather gnaw your arm off, than wake him/her in the morning, when you leave.

WOLF UGLY - You gnaw your other arm off when you get outside, so you can never drink again.

I promised to show you the photos of my latest corset, a LM Doré. I made the pattern larger at the hips (if you compare it to my Silverado). Maybe it's a ½ size too big but who cares? It feels great and this is my new favorite (until I make one ever better)

Cheers,
Karolina

Miss Karolina,
Beautiful.

[Tatted Lady]

One of these days, I'm going to get up enough nerve to make one of those things. Or should I say, "try" to make one of those things.

Really nice job Karolina, Keep up the good work!!!

Those pic's will keep all the guys going until they get to see some pics from Vegas.

Boy, it doesn't take much to keep thses guys happy, does it?

[Wallaby Jack]

"Boy, it doesn't take much to keep thses guys happy, does it?"

Ma'am,
Whilst 'tis true that it doesn't take much to keep us happy................
.....regular happy-enings is what we crave.

[Kitty Phann]

Nice fabric Karolina. Now, that you have made both the Silverado and the Dore corset which was the easiest to make. Which one gave you the best fit?

[Tornado Alli]

Finally!!!! I have something to post here!! This is the corset that GG made for me for the Can Can dress. I had to wait till after Convention to post it, but I finally get to!


Enjoy, Wallaby!

[Wallaby Jack]

I ain't sayin' nuthin'..........

(There ain't nuthin' I could say that would be appropriate to express how beautifull you look, without sticking my :fm.....)

[Prairie Terri]

Well, Alli, that is just beautiful. And yes she sure does great work. I can attest to that. I will be posting my corset as soon as I finish a little hand sewing she left for me to do. It's not as fancy as yours but is very bold:D

[Chihuahua Floyd]

Wallaby,
I'll say it for you.

WOW!!!

[Wallaby Jack]

OK.......

[Chihuahua Floyd]

Wallaby,
Are you saying that is you in the RED suit?
CF

[Allie Mo]

Hey Folks,

You can say all of the nice things you want about how Alli looks in that corset. That photo does not do her justice. If you'd seen her in person you would be speechless. She has the tiniest waist...

The Belles are even prettier in person than in photos. My God, you should see Fannie's complexion. Kate is the sweetest darlin' friendly lady. (Boo hoo, I didn't see much of Barrelhead.) Shawn and Iron Feather are so down-to-earth friendly. Although, IF could use a course in mirror holding.

All of them are gorgeous and very creative with their sewing. I'm sure you knew that. However, all of their sewing is impeccable when you're up close too. I loved the stripe dresses. They were all so different.

I just wish I had been able to spend more time with them and the rest of the Alley Cats. Maybe next year...

I just started listing all the fun people I met; but, I deleted it all. Like I said before, I don't want to forget anyone. I suffer from CRS.

Regards,

Allie Mo

[Greeneyed Gypsy]

I am just so glad you liked it Alli...and PT dont get me started I would be taking it apart and starting over...it needs more waist and and a privacy panel, and more shape at the top and ... and see???
It does look sensational and yes Mo she has the tiniest waist! I was shocked to find I could not wear that particular corset! I knew the bust would be too big, but alas I thought the waist would fit?!!?!? NO! Its just not fair but there it is...and imagine Fannie can wear the same size corset, same tiny little waist...it baffels the mind...

They are interesting to build corsets and you learn a bit more with each one.

[Tornado Alli]

You two!!!! Gosh those are the nicest compliments! I am fortunate that Victorian dressing emphasizes my best feature and completely disquises my worst (legs). That corset was absolutely to die for! Thanks again, a million times over, GG!

And Allie, you make me blush! I loved meeting you in person and I hope that next year I can schedule more downtime. Our plans for EOT will certainly include more time to relax with friends and I hope I see many of you there.

[Catawba Kate]

Ditto what Alli says. Alli Mo, you are the bubbliest person I ever met! Thank you for the complements. I so loved getting together at the Alley Cats dinner and meeting so many of you. Now I have faces to the names. Some of you were so different than I imagined. I see now where some that are quiet in person are so totally "out there" on the Alley and vice versa. Very interesting. What a great bunch of folks!!!:ty

[Hugh Damwright]

Some of you were so different than I imagined. I see now where some that are quiet in person are so totally "out there" on the Alley and vice versa.

I fall into that category as well. Those few that have met me know that I am also really quiet and shy in person. I have a real problem with socializing and just being in public in general... :rolleyes:

[Fannie Kikinshoot]

Mo, you are such a sweetheart, thank you!!

Livermush, you are so full of bologna.......

[Catawba Kate]

I fall into that category as well. Those few that have met me know that I am also really quiet and shy in person. I have a real problem with socializing and just being in public in general... :rolleyes:
Oh Paleeese!!!!:kbutt

[Greeneyed Gypsy]

well I am a what you see is what you get kinds girl...I am pretty much the same in person as I am here...at least I think I am...Liver honny I can just imagine you just have all kinds of issues with expressing yourself...:cheers evilb:

Hey look new amilies to quickly choose from...thats great THANKS!!

[Four-Eyed Buck]

Basically, I'm like GG, what you see here is what you get in person, only maybe a little chunkier. You ladies all looked so nice in those photos. The gents were pretty handsome too. Most of the outfits were were WAY above my level............Buck:cgun

[Goldie]

Okay. I worked up the nerve per Mr Wallaby's request. Please excuse the lack of chemise and subsequent..... well I think it speaks for itself. The chemise is stll on the cutting table.

[NoGunz Kay]

Goldie, that purdy!! Which un' is it, the Dore or the Silverado? My corset makes me look the same thickness all the way down, and I do mean thick, no waist at all. Course, I am pretty much the same thickness from top to bottom anyways, I would shore like to have a waist.
Anyway, nice job,
CK

[Fannie Kikinshoot]

Goldie, the cowboys seem to like it better without the chemise. :rofl
Good job!!

[Kid Sopris]

:fm :fm :fm mnuerfgcnbkudbfr:fm :fm

[Goldie]

It's the Dore. I'm making a gold silverado like my avatar. I used to be the size of my avatar, then I had two babies in the last three years.:18 So I'm malleable and there's a ton of redistribution going on. My dore laces completely closed because I didn't figure the squish factor in so hopefully the sizing will be better on my silverado. I'm also hoping the bust is a little better on the silverado since I feel like I'm going to burst out of this one at any moment. (BTW I think your corset is lovely! If you want more waistline, make the bust and hips bigger than the waist than you normally would and that should give you more curve that nature may have forgotten ;) )

[NoGunz Kay]

I used to look like your avatar too, but I got married. I went from a 34B to a 42D and I've only had one baby, 12 years ago. My poor corset, I have to keep letting it out everytime I wear it. The girls just are getting droopier all the time. I've got about a 5 inch gap now in the back so I guess its time to make a new one. Course, I let my hubby wash my corset once and being that it is made of cotton, it might have shrank some too. I just thought of that. But I still could use a new one.
CK

[Miss Ruby]

Goldie your corset looks great and of course I love the colours!

At least you girls have children to show for your changing shape - I can't even blame it on to that!!! ;)

[Goldie]

Thank you everyone! Red is my best color and I fell in love with the fabric. It's actually a moire with little fleur de lis all over it. I found it down in LA and bought it in three different colors!

[Four-Eyed Buck]

:ty :sailor :wallaby :grin :cgun

[Greeneyed Gypsy]

Goldie that is beautiful! And I doubt the menfolk will spurn you for the lack of a chemise...:w2

I think the dore looks good on you, to help the hold it in issue bring the top of the corset up more making it more of an over bust look, these are patterned to hit pretty much mid bust which is ackward for modern women used to a bra that covers more. Also for the sizing table its a good idea to go down one size and use one size less than your modern cup size, it is a rare woman that can wear a D cup in a corset. The larger the size you are on the chart, the more you may want to go down ...say you measure around a 20....cut out the 18 in mock up fabric you will probably be very close. I neglected that little rule recently...sigh...too big starting over...making a sizing mock this time...:sewing

I think the Dore has more waist... the silverado seems straighter to me, its longer I like that about it though...I just take the side waist seams in a bit more for more curve.

What kind of fabric are you using for the gold? I found a site that has beautiful gold satin bias for finishing the top and bottom...I will go dig them up for you.

[Goldie]

I went down two sizes with this one and ended up taking the muslin in quite a bit! I also wear a tripple D so the D dup is nice and snug. I was a little concerned it wouldn't be enough:18 , but It ended up being okay. I have lots of loose skin so it does a lot of shifting. I'm planning on adding the hip gores for more reduction on the silverado, but we'll see how the muslin goes.I'll go back to the dore is it isn't the shape I want and good idea about extending the bust. I do think I'd be a lot more comfortable in more of an overbust style (even if it isn't very pc) In this one I keep feeling like I'm making my own version of 'the belles bust out'. I'm using a gold dupioni for the next one, but I could just as easily use some of my stashed gold fabric if it matches the bias tape you found! Thank you!

[Pretty Mean Shawme]

Goldie, you look great!

GG I agree. I use my silverado for my natural form era dresses because it may not draw my waist in as much as the dore, but it gives you a long waist line.

The dore...

[Pretty Mean Shawme]

The Silverado (sorry it's covered by clothes!)

[Fannie Kikinshoot]

Goldie, you look great!

GG I agree. I use my silverado for my natural form era dresses because it may not draw my waist in as much as the dore, but it gives you a long waist line.

And just WHO would be looking at her WAIST in that outfit anyway? :rofl :rofl

[Greeneyed Gypsy]

Another view... You see the panels are sewn with the raw edges out then the bias satin is placed over the seams and over all the bones They are classy looking and still VERY strong and light weight, breath well...I hope this Helps?

[Greeneyed Gypsy]

This corset is made from the brocade that we are doing as well one in black and white. The single layer girls are welcome to choose this brocade or the satin or even the plain coutil.

[Pretty Mean Shawme]

Verrrrrry pretty, Ma'am :)

:wallaby:wallaby

I guess you can get up, but if you are going to stick your tounge out at me, there may be a slap heading your way!

[Greeneyed Gypsy]

that depends on your oppinion of easier...
You only have to sew together one set of pieces ( well the fron two and back two are double as normal on mine for busk and grommetts to be set.)

You still have all the careful stitching of the bias chanels which some people might find tedious...I think they go together faster...you dont have to worry about your lining getting messed up if it shifts which can happen in a two layer...

I personally love them...but I am not sure how well they would work with a gored type corset (silverado) I am sure they could I just have not tried it...

Also you can line them if you like (with this nice brocade I dont think it is needed) but anyway you can line basically you put you right sides out sew with seams out toward the front and place all the chanels. I dont know if that makes sense...anywho...yes I guess they are a more simplified way to make a corset, sadly they dont cost less because the bias I use (that pretty satin stuff) adds to material cost and I usually use about 12-15 yards on a corset like the one posted.

[Goldie]

Well they sure are pretty!:bow

[Wallaby Jack]

" but if you are going to stick your tounge out at me, there may be a slap heading your way!"
