I honestly, straight up, want a chainmail bra. I have a passel of bustiers I haven't tried to squeeze into in years, so why am I even thinking of it again?

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

Because books.
I have one corset Juliana gave me, and I LOVE the way it looks. It's not custom (obvs) but it is very cool. The problem for me is where and when to wear it. "Corset" doesn't really fit 98% of my wardrobe.

I got the leather bustier, I got the suede bustier, I got a couple corsets, I got all sorts of club shit--and I don't club. It's pretty silly. I have to make a concerted effort to not be self-conscious about my breasts, so it's always a feat to wear any of the stuff out of the house. But I do like it so much.
However, I deem corsets officewear, but not everyone agrees with me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Mad Men collection means make my boobs look like Christina Hendricks, right? That's what it's shorthand for? And give me a boyfriend that looks like Jon Hamm, but he can wear underwear if he likes?
If only!
ita !, I'm sure you could have more of a vintage figure with vintage undergarments.

And for the record, I can't believe I still typed ita !.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
There's a Mad Men collection? Did I want to be tempted?
It's cute stuff. Not in my size, so safe for me to covet.

For the record, I feel like ita ! It's very refreshing.
I have lazy vintage undergarments. I lounge around in vintage slips a lot, but you don't see me sporting a girdle.

I mean a girdle+bullet bra situation.

Having seen what a corset does to my figure, I know it takes a lot of squinching to make me curvy all the way up and down. I mean, from back to front I'm okay, but from side to side there's not much variation.
For some reason I imagine corsets more comfortable than girdles. I'm not sure why.

I need a good source for 16x16 silk pillow covers. Preferably asian/indian pattern. Jewel tones. Reputable source. Having no googlefu.
Finished my main swim, got to the fifth cooldown finished and thunder-cleared the pool. Talk about timing.
