Corset pictures!

Are now available at my web site. And for those who wonder, the pink area on my elbow is psoriasis. I've got lots of it.
My darling husband has also taken photos of me in one of my 16th century gowns that I haven't shown you yet and if I have the time tomorrow I will put them on the website too.

You look fabulous m'dear!

Thanks. I think I look interesting at least. That shape is strange when you're used to 16th century corsets.

What a lovely colour! I agree the shape is "strange" ;)

How on earth do you sit or bend over in that thing, tho?

Bending over is possible, by lifting one leg and tilting the whole body forward, but I actually haven't tried sitting in it yet. Maybe that's something I should do before I make the dress. The boning is only in the front of the corset and it doesn't go farther down than my effigy-style corset so it should be possible, if the fabric on the sides scrounge together and give room for my legs.
Anyway, I'm tired of putting on corsets so that will have to wait until later.

hehe, - bring a stool and sit on the edge of it.
