I met Marnie Scarlet Brederoo on a course at City Lit about 3 years ago - we kept in touch through Facebook and she borrowed my pom pom corset for a photo shoot earlier this year. We went for a coffee and she mentioned that her partner Max was opening a shop and they were looking for designers - I jumped at the chance to provide a few corsets for them to sell. It's a competitive world out there and I don't know whether they will sell, or whether I will have to reduce the prices to the extent that I make very llittle money on them...but it's been fun designing and creating a different aesthetic, and meeting some incredibly creative people at the shop opening last night. Here's a couple of pics of me and Marnie looking at my corsets;

There are so many possibilities and I have lots of ideas for different designs to come!

A few grainline issues with this one. Sweeping angular panels prove difficult! You would think that the grainline should be perpendicular to the waistline at all times, but actually I dont think this is the case. I rotated the panels very slightly (3.5 deg) and it improved the wrinkling that you sometimes see when grainlines are not correct. More work required on this subject I think!
