(Again, I'm not really here; work is having an emergency, and I really should be working on my Annual Review, which is due, oh, Thursday.)

The Fairygothmother corsets are pretty, but I don't think they're custom-made to the measurements you send in. And if they aren't, they aren't worth that amount of money.

If someone is willing to spend the money on a corset, they should ALWAYS go for a custom-fitted one. Custom-fitted corsets are comfortable, whereas I've never, ever found a pre-made corset that is.

(Oh dear, I'm lecturing, aren't I? Oh well ...)

A properly-fitted corset needs 15-20 different measurements to be made, all of which ensure that your corset fits, well, you. Not some random fit model that the company used.

For instance, June 23 is Wear Your Corset to Work Day.

They do say married people get more alike...
