MY CORSET PHOTOSHOOT

My corset that I styled and photographed myself, with my friend Rachel modelling :)

I styled the corset with an old mosquito net that I burnt,

ripped and hand stitched in place to give different layers.

MY CORSET FINISHED

Now you can all see why I haven't posted properly lately; I've been busy creating this corset!

Finally it's finished :)

TAPING - CORSETS - SESSION 1

In my technical sessions at college we are currently working on a corset project. The idea is to use the method 'taping' and then take inspiration from Miss Havisham to create a decayed looking corset.

Here are just some practice pieces that I did to try and get used to the idea of taping.
