Corsets and Crinolines

In a typical fashion, I find myself coveting another (new) corset. My current two are a couple inches smaller than I'd like them to be, which makes perfect sense in my own mind as to why I should by new ones!

If money were no object, I'd buy this beautiful corset by Etsy Designer Gifling. The corset looks as thought it were made for me: the carnivalesque ruffles along the bottom, the original artwork that has been printed on to glove leather, and it's even my size! Sadly, at $680, I doubt that I'll be able to afford it any time soon.


While I save up my hard earned pennies, I may invest in one of Louise Black's corsets. They're amazingly affordable for the work that goes in to them, and share the same style of front art design that Gifling's Carnival corset does. I'm particularly fond of her new Peacock design, which I think would look amazing customized with red velvet and the cream/burgundy striped cotton. Louise Black has added several beautiful new designs to her corset shop, and they're the perfect opportunity to experience a custom-made corset at an out-of-this-world price!
