ita, right. I'm not sure how the 32.5 inch bust woman is the same as the one for the corset above.
I should look up Lip Service clothes since I like em on her.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Huh. How recently? eta: to Amy

Sigh. I am loving the clothes (esp that black and blue corset) although they are having the unintended side effect of making me feel like a shapeless lump of flesh. I'm afraid that even my new, post-baby bosom is just not enough to ever justify a corset.

They're cool, but I'm impressed she has so much after so long, because I was never hugely impressed with their staying power. Which is to say, I don't know where to get them around here, but the one decent shopping nabe in Metro Detroit had 'em in their alterna-goth-punk half block and I found myself hovering a fair bit. That's like one of the few things I miss about Michigan--easy to find the nifty clothes--because there aren't that many choices.

I know! I saw that and at first thought "hey! I could fit it!" then I noticed the 23 in waist. Um yeah. I've NEVER had a 23 in waist.

Corsets are pretty insistent, shape-wise. Shapeless isn't a problem, I'm not thinking.

I said you would be pleased with his manners, and referred them to Gothic Charm School.
Awww, thank you!

Some Lip Service stuff is really well-made and lasts forever. Some of it ... doesn't. Their vinyl stuff usually holds up pretty well, and the same with their cotton-twill items. Their "brocade" is kinda hit-or-miss.
Which is to say, I don't know where to get them around here
ita, if you're willing to shop for Lip Service online, I highly recommend Redemption Klothing. Every time I've wanted a Lip Service item, they've been able to get it for me.

This season, ita. That was the ... gimmick, for lack of a better word?
I don't even know why I know this. I've watched the show, like, three times. CMM kind of fascinates me in that car wreck way, though.

Most of the ones I've tried on insisted that I needed more boobs.
That's not entirely true. I've tried on some that fit, but they also flattened what little I had so the look was a bit Elizabethan. I'm sure if I bought a good, well made corset it would fit me perfectly. I mean, isn't a good one made to a person's measurements? So that'd work, but I don't have the lifestyle to justify the expenditure on that one.
I do like some of the items on the Lip Service website. A lot actually.
