A while back I began buying corsets from a lady who did excellent work; 4 and counting so far. So, since she was so good, I asked her about making me a Victorian-fashioned corset; I didn't mind so much that it laced up the front but wanted it to have sleeves and be moderately open to upgrades, and she said she'd look into it.
Well, a week later she has me absolutely floored by what she's created:

The lady who makes them is awesome, always willing to work with you on whatever you want/need, but this time I think she's totally outdone herself. I've got one being made for me already (I added the skirt because, damn) as Ebay's isn't quite big enough for me or I'd be all over it (it was her prototype, done on the mannequin), but, just whoa. Dude. So in lust!want!OMG! with that thing. :)
ETA: Since people seem interested in more info,
Damsel in This Dress is her webpage, and
here is her Ebay store. Super nice lady and creative as heck; I'm always willing to throw her business! :D
