18th C. stays in better light

[madamemodiste]

Sort of like Oz: Do not look behind the curtain...I mean, too closely at the binding along the bottom edge. But I think I did OK for a very first corset!!







[EDIT] Ah ha! I've been given a tip over at an 18th C LJ site and was told my lacing is wrong. I vaguely knew that, but don't have a clue as to how to do the other kind no matter how I stare at it. Then the other question: I have to unlace this thing by myself at 2am...can I do that with the proper 18th C. lacing style?

Very pretty! I think 18th c stays are just way to pretty to just wear underneath everything else - I hope you'll wear this as an outer garment too - it deserves to be shown off!

Yes, it was made as a clubbing garment. I wish it came up higher in the front, though. It's too revealing to be worn without some modesty panel in front.

Some pretty lace on a tubetop? They're great to wear under corsets, and the lace could spill over the corset so you'd think it was attached to that instead of a seperate garment underneath.
