This is a back-dated post for my archive project, where I am copying over every piece of art I have ever submitted to DeviantArt, with the original submission date or watermarked year stamp, so a complete archive of my work can be found on this website, even if the item was never or is no longer displayed in my portfolios.

It’s worth noting that the modeled photos I hoped for never happened, so these are the only photos of this garment.

Fabric: Silk backed with corset coutil
Boning: 1/4″ flat spring steel bones
Bow: Silk cover fabric
Busk: 9″ metal straight busk

This is a fabric-based Edwardian ribbon corset. Each of the “ribbons” is sewn from coutil and silk. The vertical boned panels (the pink parts) are two layers of coutil covered with silk. The busk is backed with a bone. The bow is hand-made.

This corset was made as a trade for a mannequin with another seamstress, so I am optimistic that I will have some good photos of her modeling it down the road. In the meantime, these two flat photos will have to do.
