"back in that old haunted cat house, where everybody used to go"

I finally finished Melanie's outfit! Yay, :) I'm very pleased with myself. Today after a few appointments, I will be shipping it off to her! Express so it will be there by Saturday!


Now that this project is complete, I can take on orders. I didn't want to work on anything else while finishing her outfit just because I wanted it to be my primary focus. The gal this is for is a good friend of mine and I owe her alot :) She kept me sane when I lived in Denver and was an angsty teenager!

I'm still working on organizing my photo-shoot... I'm no good at this! :( I'm also working toward getting new business cards. Not just more of the same, but a new design. I saw someone around town with a car magnet thats the same style as mine. That's what I get when I pick out a preset design from VistaPrint. But that's okay, I really liked the design. But now I'm working on a trade for some printing, which hopefully means I'll get some business cards, a poster or two and possibly a booklet of Corset Care/Wear and some other info. Fingers crossed!


This is one of my revamped corsets... I made a design similiar to this when I first got into corsetry and now I've decided to add it to my available designs right now. It ranges from $115 for plastic boning, and $135 for steel. I'm offering it in the cherries w/ red straps coloration and the navy blue anchor w/ white straps. However there are limited quanitites in both. Only two are available in the anchor material, while a few more than that are offered in the cherries.

I'm having a fear lately. I'm scrambling to get ahold of more steel. My normal resource (where I get it for next to nothing) has now started taking new measures with their steel so its no longer available to me. I'm looking for another source, but if I don't get a constant and steady supply of it, I may have to go online, where it will cost nearly, if not more than $300 for a 1000+ft supply of it. With this information, I may have to up the cost of my steel boned corsets to cover my additional cost... :( I will keep you updated!
