Enjoying the last day of quiet…because my laptop finally died and the new one arrives later today. Glad I printed out what I immediately needed before that happened, so let’s think good thoughts for a smooth transition and please be patient if I’m slow to answer ❤️
Corsetry
New Corsetry
Settling into a new pattern shape here in the work studio…the fashion geometry changes so much every few years! This feels different from my “usual” 1880s style, but somehow I have better posture. Late Victorian, not quite Edwardian…definitely: “transitional”.
Corsetry
Vintage Metis coutil bleu corset interior, I love a single-layer corset…it always amazes me the strength and control one layer of just the right fabric. I’m usually in one of these.

What’s On At The Atelier
Now Taking Orders!
Looking on the bright side…cancelled events have opened some fall/winter slots for custom gown and corset orders here! If you ever craved a Lily Absinthe look, now is the time. In-person fittings and fabric perusal both in LA and in Tombstone! I’ll also have fantastic dress lengths of silks and cottons for sale, along with some great ready-to-wear gowns and hats. Planning to be in Tombstone this Fall and Winter? Pm me and stop by The Dressmaker’s Cottage for some tea and dress chat!
Rumor has it that I’ll be “in town” November 5-7 and again two weeks after that…we’ll be splitting our time between LA and Tombstone until March.
