But I have a new corset! It has DC superheroines on it and I am pleased as punch ( Read more... )

So between 3.40 and 9.30, I made this and this! Well OK, the white and blue one, I'd already cut out the pieces a couple of weeks ago, just needed to sit down and make it, but it took me about 25 minutes to get the pieces for the vertical seam bra cut and ready!
