And the corset is definitely something I would save from a burning house. And it fits so perfectly that it breaks the myth of corsets being torture instruments. After some experimenting, I´ve found a way to lace it without reducing lung capacity too much - so no 19th century fainting :-) For me, it´s more comfortable than a bra, because it takes weight off my shoulders. And it makes me sit upright without forcing me :-) I feel like a beautiful woman wearing it.Sunithahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15720193604346130496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1569751889486479823.post-5476534900112813602015-12-05T23:35:54.158+01:002015-12-05T23:35:54.158+01:00Looks really good!

Those might be worth the shipping. :D<br />To tell the truth, though, I was really surprised with the budget myself when I counted it out - although I think a huge part of it also lies in the fact that I didn't use a pretty silk for the outer! That would immediately add about 400 CZK to the price. Plus I managed to snatch the boning as a remnant bag with about 7,5 m, which was just about the right amount for this corset - I don't know if that was marked down, but it might have been.Hana - Marmotahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03532515160608083460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1569751889486479823.post-49022250748512159902015-12-04T20:54:44.724+01:002015-12-04T20:54:44.724+01:00Far out that is great, and maybe we should be sour...Far out that is great, and maybe we should be sourcing our corset supplies from your local shop as that is a great budget!MrsC (Maryanne)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14440723067459232998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1569751889486479823.post-16357136521978423062015-12-04T14:43:06.077+01:002015-12-04T14:43:06.077+01:00It looks great, Hana!It looks great, Hana!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12503930255842185609noreply@blogger.com
