Pulling Back

It's not as bad as it sounds!

What I mean by pulling back, is I've decided to limit what I offer down to two skirts and my corsets, plus a few pieces of jewelry. Why? Because I don't want to get ahead of myself. I have other things that I'd like to offer in mind, and I will do custom costumes and all that still if there's interest, but I want to get myself established before I offer hundreds (that's a bit of an overstatement, but still) of products.

I've made some decent headway with the Bride corset I have. Tonight I'm hoping to get it to the point where all that will be left is the modesty plate and stitching the ribbon binding on. Then I'll be working on drafting up remaining patterns (the dress and the new front for Holly's modified Elsa) and cutting out material for other corsets I'm working for, for the Dark Dreams Cabaret Carnivale.

I've decided to retire one of my personal corsets: my "Love" Lillith. I'm going to retire it and recycle it to use the busk and stays for my Carnivale corset. Why is this? Since it was the Lillith prototype, there are things that I don't like about it. For instance the way I cut the sides make it dig into my hips in an unattractive way and it would take too much labor to fix it, so I'm going to retire it and recycle the bits. This happens to a few of my own corsets over time. But I always reuse the bits ;-)
