Looking for commission quotes.

Mar 11, 2008 12:50

I don't know much about metalworking or corset making, and I'd like to get something made by someone who knows what they're doing.

I'm willing to pay a fair price for what I'm looking for, but nothing so outrageous as the $6,195.00 original, since the original is mostly paying for brand name couture.

I'd like to keep it under a thousand bucks, I'm hoping for $800 or under, but you can quote me whatever you think your fair price would be. Right now, I'd just like to compare my options and see if there is anyone who can make me what I'm looking for...





I'd like a metal corset belt, similar to the one Dolce and Gabbana put out last summer. I'd like it done in brass or bronze, with some minor superficial changes that I could discuss in more detail with you if you think you're up to the challenge.

I have a 24 inch waist and I'm not looking for something to tightlace with. This is more of a fashion and less of a function sort of thing. I would like there to be some cinching of my waist, but not a ton, maybe 1.5-2 inches at MOST. And the gap in the back is fine by me.

Here are some links with more pictures:

And if you don't want to/can't take on this project for me, but have a recommendation for someone who you think would be good, please let me know.

corsets, metalsmithing
