I have an awful lot of stuff laying around my studio that I would like to clear out.  If any of this stuff interests you please contact me! I am not in the habit of making corsets, but when I do try I...I can cut this into a length or if you like I can calculate how much I have left if you want to buy the rest. Or if anyone wants to buy all of it I will sell it for $30 excluding the roll of lacing

Sooo.. apparently, I need to stop making automatic assumptions that my country looks out for my best health interests. I've been using E-6000 to affix Swarovski crystals to corsets on the recommendation...manufacturer of E6000 uses perchloroethylene which, yup, causes cancer. So, uh...does anyone out there recommend a safer adhesive to use that is just as strong? I kinda don't want to get cancer

Good morning peoples!  This is old sappho9  .  I have just listed all of my corset making supplies for sale over on corsetsupplies  .  Here's the link http://community.livejournal.com/corsetsupplies/118921.html   I'm sorry if this isn't allowed here, just let me know if it isn't :)

I am hoping to make an underbust corset with a spoon busk closure - but the perfect length for me is 10" and I have not found one that short - 11" seems to be the shortest I can find.  Does anyone know...Chest, and Lacis.  Anyone I missed? I suppose I could get an 11" and trim it down.  I have cutters that will cut my boning, and tipping fluid.  Does that sound like a reasonable option? Thank yo

Hi All I am trying to get my hands on a 12.5 inch/32cm busk with "gold" clasps - had a look on Vena Cava, Sewing Chest but nada! Any suggestions where I can lay my hands on them?? Thanks :)

The Renaissance Stays I finished two new Renaissance stays which I've been working on for the past couple weeks. One is plain, and the other has a brown silk cover and leather edging. Both have a double...satin ribbon, tied on through buttonholes at the top of the busk. Busk: 8" metal straight double-busk Photographer: Lianne Oostindjer Model/Editing: Info by request X-Poste

Hi Everyone, Just happened upon a steal. Metal bias pressing bars- complete set (INVALUABLE for making PERFECT EXTERIOR CASINGS) on sale for $14.36 at https://www.connectingthreads.com Plus I signed...for another $5.96 in savings! My total came to $11.69! Guess good things come to those who wait... I am not affiliated with this business, I just thought everyone might like to try these on the cheap

Hi, I just got the eyelets (grommets...I mean the two-part thing) from le prevo, the 200 size. And the eyelet setter. I must say I am rather dissapointed. The eyelets split after setting them, they don't...also wondering about that ebay site somebody mentioned here once), please tell me. I have tried to search the archives but LJ is either stupid or I just cannot really do any searching here. Thanks

Hello! I had a question for everyone about where is a good place on the 'net to find taffeta in a wide range of colors and textures. I know that HouseFabric.com has a wide assortment of crepe back satin...life storefront sellers, if they happen to be in the Indianapolis area. Thanks for reading : ) This has been cross-posted to a couple of places, so apologies if you are seeing this more than once

I just finished my first experimental mock up with cane instead of metal boning, and I have to say, I'm pleasantly surprised! It's lightweight, very bendy (only in one direction, like flat steels) and...piece)... Would any one be interested in a comparison with the same corset made up with spiral boning, as I may do this just for interests sake :) Hope someone is interested in this other than me! Luthie
