Entry V: Final Price :Updated with actual prices
This is it ladies and gentleman. *takes deep breathe*
I have ordered everything and anything I need to complete my first corset, along with ample extra for whatever else I please.
I will base this on what I have spent altogether so this is a little over the normal price.
First order: Dragontown Corset Supplies
Cost: 38:59 (includes shipping )
2nd Order : Hardware store
Cost: 44.98 (these costs are slightly estimated since I'm missing the receipt but they are only off off by a dollar or so.)
3rd Order : Fabric Store
Now granted that last one includes other things I bought for a sewing commision I have coming up. However some do have uses for the corset, the purple thread is being used in the first one.
Total : about 144 bucks
Not too horrible considering pre-cut boning would have cost me 80 dollars for less than 4 yrds. This will allow me to make at least 2 corsets without even needing to refill my boning stash.
Next up, the actual corset.
Oh and this is the fabric I picked up. This picture doesn't do it justice but here ya go
