Ruth aproached me via the Royal Shakespeare Company, where I was working at the time. She wanted an authentically cut eighteenth century style corset for her wedding. (Her mother made her matching chiffon skirt). We used an ivory brocade for the corset bodice and hand bound all edges with ivory silk dupion. The bone channels of the corset were top-stitched to highlight the pattern of construction - several bones, all pointing to the waist is a very flattering visual line. Eighteenth century style corset, made to individual order: £750 plus fabric and decoration. Copyright © 1997 Theresa Blake. All Rights Reserved. |
