The Swoop, the Curve, the Serpentine.

The hurly-burly of the to and fro.
Not any real time to sew anything deep, only slips of time. And if one needs a new corset, go to the professionals. It's my least favorite thing to sew, so, I found The Boudoir Key on the FaceBox and Etsy. The beautiful swoopy 1880's corset was just the thing, just the thing!
Do I have a nice length of pick coutil with roses woven in, sure do. But I would actually rather have an  actual corset.
The darling! 1880's reproduction corset copied from an original.
Elizabeth was lovely and professional, she made mine one layer only, because California can be hot.

Isn't she lovely!

The pinkness!


And Manet's "Nana", just because.
