Gonna dress you up

Been browsing for corsets (I blame [livejournal.com profile] mortice) and found this dress which [livejournal.com profile] ciphergoth really, really needs... Cyber Geisha Corset Kimono - yum.

Now, what I was really looking for is a corset that can cope with my hips being much bigger than my waist - anyone got any ideas?

Yosa's stuff is beautiful.

Fross's girlfriend Kas also makes corsets. I can't remember the URL of her site atm, will check it for you.

Get one made?

I don't know if that's the way your figure is naturally or whether you've waist-trained to that stage - I'll presume the former (lucky you!) as I'm guessing you'd already be well into tailor-made territory if you were waist-training...

Anyway, I've heard this lady recommended repeatedly from several different sources - I suspect the praise is genuine, although I haven't seen any of her work myself.

She's generally recommended for reasons of both quality and pricing incidentally, which is nice...

Those kimono's are not only stunning, but reasonably priced for what they are...

My favourite place is http://www.misfitz.org. Not least because their only retail outlet is in the town where I live, but also because their clothes are really nice. They do some fab corsets, off the rack *or* made to measure, & they are excellent quality too. Their email isn't working at the moment, but I believe their phone no is on the website, if you want a mail order catalogue.

Another place I *haven't* tried, but have heard is very good, is http://www.candscorsets.com

Hello :)

I have similar waist/hip ratio issues, and my favourite corset is this one (http://www.axfords.com/corsets/catalogue/store.html?pc=c240) - I found overbust corsets couldn't deal with the extent of the in-outness. Plus for an 'off the rack', it's really really good, and makes a feature of the difference between hip and waist, which I like. In any case, it's a style I recommend.


I took off the frilly bits though.


P.S. Kas' site is www.corsetry.net (http://www.corsetry.net).
