"I get everything I want when I get part of you..."

I have curtains! With glow-in-the-dark spooky eyes! I can finally sleep without a blindfold!

After re-lacing my leather Victorian corset according to these directions I have tried it on and discovered that it really no longer fits properly (nothing to do with the lacings though). It gaps about 4 inches on the top and 1 inch on the bottom, meanwhile it should be an even 2 inches top to bottom. There is also that small issue of my cleavage doing an aggressive takeover of my collarbones.

I've been meaning to put together something new for a while but I have to admit that it's time. I think I'm going to go for more of a wasp waist under-bust design but with a full back (there’s pics of a prototype of this on my corset page in purple crushed velvet). I have to remember to give myself more room in the hips and ribs though. Recently found directions for doing a French block and I really want to get going on a duct tape double as I have a lot of ideas and it's such a pain in the ass to drape on ones self.

Anyone in the market for a worn but not worn out 22 inch black garment leather Victorian corset? I'd love to get a C-note for it. If no one wants to buy it I'm slapping it on EBay. I'd post pics but it seems I cant, which leads me to a further problem...
