I will be very happy when the Elizabethan corsets are out of my apartment, although I am sure there will be more in the future.  At present they are my most consistent seller.

If anyone in the market for an Elizabethan would like something a little fancier (fully boned and a silk cover, either front-lacing or back-lacing with a wooden busk), please let me know.  I haven’t had time to make one for myself, but want one for my portfolio, so at the moment I am willing to give a discount.

I’m planning to work a long day today, because I have plans for tomorrow that will greatly reduce the amount of time I have for sewing.

On Monday and Tuesday work will resume on the Victorian corsets and the ribbon corset.  I’m hoping to finish out the blog series on the ribbon corset before the end of the week, followed by a formal tutorial.
