After four weeks pushing and staying up until 3 and 4 AM respectively, we were able to debut this set on the final day of MNRF. We still have a few finishing touches (and hats) but this set will also make an appearance in KC in a week!

Short video of the Peacock Corset details! There were actually three silks used in this project: anemone, comet tail and canterbury-all from silk baron! The sparkle and holographic rainbows make the feathers on this beautiful corset! . . . . . . . . #corset #corsetmaking #silk #waisttraining #curves #seamstress #costumer #cosplay #handmade #localbusiness #applique #swarovski #iridescent #sparkle

The beautiful Kate of @lady_of_the_lake_silks in her peacock corset! I just love the anenome dupioni silk from Silkbaron, and folks, it's so much more magical in person. We are doing a formal shoot later, but wanted to catch a few quick shots of her in this beauty. She so gorgeous and definitely my peacock muse! 💜💜💜 . . . . . . . . . #corset #waisttraining #corsetmaking #silk #peacock #holographic #swarovskicrystals #iridescent #costume #costumer #cosplay #handmade #localbusiness

#teaser of a new corset I'm working on. This is the first of a line of corsets I dreamed of creating for a while now. The theme is mythic creatures and frankly, peacocks are some of the most magical and mythic real creatures in our world! Can't wait to lace this beauty onto her lady tomorrow! . . . . . . . #corset #corsetmaking #sewing #seamstress #swarovski #swarovskicrystals #sparkle #iridescent #holographic #crystalkatana #silk #cosplay #costume #handmade #localbusiness

This is either going to be the best corset ever or end in tears. 😂 I'll keep y'all posted. . . . . . . . . #corset #corsetmaking #waisttraining #sewing #costumer #cosplayer #holographic #iridescent #unicorn #mermaid #fairy #fantasyfashion #imightbecrazy #wip #workingontheskills

Side by side of the re-vamped #steampunk ensemble. The black version was the first. I can still add the light up element should I choose but I love the shape of the new corset! The vinyl embellishment is actually holographic. 😁 Have to get some unicorn magic in there somewhere!! Silk is blue raspberry from @silkbaron and hat is from the fabulous @blondeswanhats . . . . . . . #steampunkfashion #sewing #costumer #cosplay #waisttraining #corset #corsetmaking #bustleskirt #historicallyconfused #silk #ledcostuming #gothic #holographic

Lots of work over the weekend! Plus a brief splash of sun to take some photos! The pink corset is current the #wip. I can't wait to get her finished up as it's the prototype for my Halloween costume! . . . . . . . . #sewing #costumer #corset #corsetmaking #cosplay #waisttraining #costume #historicallyinspired #silk #handmade #localbusiness

We had a break in our rainy weather, so I ran out to take a quick photo of this completed corset! Absolutely in love with how this turned out! . . . . . . . #sewing #costumer #corsetmaking #waisttraining #corset #silk #decals #cricutexploreair2 #cosplay #historicallyinspired #vinyl #iridescent #holographic #seamstress #handmade
