The prototypes are taking me a little longer, and it's also taking me longer to get the cash to get all my materials I need to launch my corset line, but I finished the underbust corset prototype and I am pleased!
Upon trying this on, I found it to be extremely comfortable. I could have worn it all day at a con or festival and not felt "pinched" at all. I chose to lace towards the waist and tucked the lacing behind the Xs. This model has twelve 1/2" bones and a center front busk. I was able to easily get a 2" reduction. Top is cotton backed with coutil, and while I didn't line this version, I would line the ones I sell in cotton as well. It is finished with bias tape made from the top fabric.
Here's a back view!
So, question for all of you! What price range would you pay for a custom underbust corset in cotton? I'm still debating pricing.
Thanks!
