What’s On In Corsetry…
Single layer custom dyed satin coutil with silk duchesse channels and silk flossing combined with beautiful black antique lace from Elizabeth Emerson. I love the look of the mid to late 1890s.♡

And Something For The Bridal Line…
I‘ve been slowly building a dress sample based on the styles of tea gowns and lingerie dresses from the 1899-1905 era for our Bridal line.

Our original idea was to make this from white over blue…and then a friend gifted me with a bolt of vintage white and yellow dotted Swiss, and everything changed! 🙂

Judging from the label, this corset was made locally in Athens, Greece:
