Oh man, I’m very excited. My Victorian Underbust is here! It’s by Meschantes which is actually a professional corset company, as opposed to the individual amateur makers I’ve worked with before. The pink gingham one is not made quite right, and the rose one is nice but it has a few problems. This one is good. I am so happy with this. They’re not the best corsetmakers in the world - C&S seems to have a big following, and the work Joyce does for Creations l’Escarpolette is just astonishing - but they are certainly decent, and while I’ve heard bad stories about their customer service I didn’t have any problems. (It isn’t fully custom, it is a standard that closes at 32″, and I got it through eBay.) Anyway, I’m quite pleased right now.
