I got my corset from http://www.ellecorsets.co.uk/catalog/

Low prices, and you can order exactly what you want, ie. not just the items on the website.

I went to the workshop and had a meeting with the lady who creates them - she was so lovely, and really enthusiastic. I had a great time trying on different corsets and after she took my measurements, she got out a mahoosive catalogue of materials to choose from. There really is so much choice.

And I thought I would just give you the information, as I see you're in England, and would prefer to spend a bit less money for a good corset than is normally asked for xx

DP, sorry!

I payed £110 for mine, which is much cheaper than ordering off some of the websites that are around. Considering I had a personal consultation and also was sent a toile to double check everything fitted correctly! xx

Crushed velvet? Looks kinda like my black one and that's what mine is.

looks a wee bit like corduroy, but not sure.

you could get a normal corduroy blazer and reconstruct? you know, to make puffy sleeves, and then sew buttons on.

i dunno.

Got a tankini

It's reversible. I like the stripy side better but I don't have a photo of that. You can see it peeking out though. ^__^

And LOL at the tag. I ripped it out cus it's sewn righttt on the edge so it always ends up showing.

Still need to get bottoms.. not sure what colour to get? Would black be too dark? I'm thinking a deep navy blue.
