I'm afraid that even my new, post-baby bosom is just not enough to ever justify a corset.
Corsets are pretty insistent, shape-wise. Shapeless isn't a problem, I'm not thinking.
You want to meet the real me now?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I said you would be pleased with his manners, and referred them to Gothic Charm School.
Awww, thank you!
I should look up Lip Service clothes since I like em on her.
They're cool, but I'm impressed she has so much after so long, because I was never hugely impressed with their staying power.
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.

Because books.
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.

Corsets are pretty insistent, shape-wise.
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.

Have you been to the corset store on Pico near the 405?

No, but if you could see my eyes, you'd see I look very interested. (Oh dear, DH would have a wee fit if he knew I was talking corsets.) But that sounds oh so very nearby. And here's me with oh so much time on my hands since it's summer.

I've been in twice, and I have two corsets. The math isn't complicated. If you need a hand to hold, just holler...

Okay ita, I think you have a deal.
But now it's bedtime.

Burrell, you can get one that's underbust, so it just sucks in your midriff....that works better for me, since I'm an A cup. I have the problem that the ones with cups tend to either make me flat, or just make me look kinda sad, yeah. But if I go for something where I'm wearing a blouse and an underbust corset, it looks great! $99...
