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.
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

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

Have you tried ebay, sarameg? It's where I got my Indian silk scarves I hang on my walls.
