Another wedding

This lovely bride is Serene Browne. She got married in November, in Venice. I had the pleasure of creating this corset for her (the skirt was her own). The corset is the same basic model as the Black one I made for Dara, and these pictures really shows the overall effect of the corset. It nips in the waist, pushes up the bust, and smoothes the lines of the hips. Very, very nice.

I used two layers of unbleached cotton calico for the lining, as the fashion fabric is slightly see-through. The calico is soft yet sturdy, and prevents the corset from losing its shape. The details of the fashion fabric does unfortunatly not show as well as I would like in these pictures. The colour is antique cream, and the fabric itself has rows of pin-tucks and lace inserts. I found a reproduction of an Edwardian blouse that I sacrificed for this garment. It was well worth it. One of the advantages with using all natural fabrics (cotton) in the corset is that if she decides to die the corset after the wedding she can. Although I think it is lovely just the way it is.
