yay, put all that stuff in the video along with what you think. I know it will help me out with my learning about corsets.

The stripes are from the little dangles that hang from the corset :) they are white strings of beads I believe, and she has a dark background (pants I think), so it looks like stripes. You can see them move at the end :)

I agree with you Lucy!
Take care and stay blessed love :-)

I've been wondering about the differences between Victorian corsets/corsetry and modern corsets/corsetry.

[dianagodessa]

can you give an example of the modern hourglass style/brand/make?

I ask the same as, BohistaNordica, this always been a soft field for me, please answer :)

Gahhh, this is the one I was waiting for :3 Learning about the silhouettes is part of my favorite things about corsets. I believe I've said it *numerous* times before, but I absolutely love wasp waist. Smooth, conical ribs are a must for me. There are a couple styles that I don't really like, but I have to say, personally, I really dislike pipestems. I don't think I've seen one I liked yet. :( But that's just a personal, nitpicky thing of mine.

That's my favorite silhouette too! I dont quite know how to pattern it though, so I have yet to get my hands on one :( Are there any tricks to it, or an easier angle to start at (hip gores rather than complicated pattern pieces, etc)? And also Im intrigued by the stripes I see under your corset, are they pants or a skirt? :)

Do you know where can I get corsets in stores? I best thing this better to wear in the winter rather then summer it's to hot for that lol.

how do you feel about the latex waist cincher? Can you recommend one for beginners?
