Histoire de Fraises

Working on my “Sherlock” project. I cut the fabric and mark the notches to get perfect matching on the curves.

My last work: my 1906 La Mode Illustrée corset. It took me ages to finish it as I began the projet one year ago. But I’m quite happy with the result. I hope you’ll love it!

I had an amazing day: I made two dresses for a Mucha’s theme photoshoot. I’ve worked a lot on these embroderies, but it worth it, I’m really happy <3

You're so silly. You'll likely be dead like Christine Wickham in a few years if you don't knock this off.

I’m posting this publicly so everyone can see what a shameless ignorant asshole and vile hateful human being this person is. Let me be the first to make it clear that Christine’s passing had zero to do with corsetry. It was actually due to complications from a yoga injury, and none of us are decrying yoga as deadly. Putting aside this person’s blatant ignorance of how ones health can or cannot be affected by corseting (something which, being a medical student Christine was exceptionally well informed of) or even that I need corsets for daily pain relief and do not consider myself a tightlacer or waist trainer at all. I was very close to her and this is a heartless insult to her grieving family and community, who have all been profoundly affected by her loss. I am still grieving every day, and working as hard as I do to perfect my craft (of which this person probably has no comprehension of the skill and time it takes to master) as a way to honor her and remain close to her. To dishonor the dead and the mourning in such a hateful threatening way is the cowardly act of a bored and idiotic person who has nothing in their heart but hatred, selfishness, and spite.

Qu'est-ce qu'on ne lit pas...! Juste choquée par ce genre de réaction. Non, les corsets ne tuent pas des gens. Va falloir vous y faire!

Quand j’avais 14 ans, mon petit nom à l’école, c’était «garage à bite». Même si à l’époque j’avais pas garé grand-chose, la sagesse populaire avait trouvé chez moi les critères pour m’attribuer le rôle de la salope. J’ai eu de la chance, je n’ai pas été violée et je n’ai pas tourné. A part...

Not ONLY are the corsets SHAPELESS, they HURT LIKE FUCK.

Get something made-to-measure or with decent shape instead! Personal recommendations (all have been tried by me):-

Isabella Corsetry (off-the-rack and made-to-measure)

Morgana Femme Couture (off-the-rack and made-to-measure)

Kitty O’Hara’s Corsetry (made-to-measure)

Jem Corsets (made-to-measure)

Fiorella Corsetry (made-to-measure)

Sparklewren (made-to-measure)

Neon Duchess (made-to-measure)

Orchid Corsetry (made-to-measure)

Orchard Corset (off-the-rack)

Valkyrie Corsets (off-the-rack and made-to-measure)

And of course, yours truly, Katastrophy Korsets. PS: STAY FAR FAR FAR AWAY FROM Leatherotics (and most of eBay, obviously) because they steal designs, more info on that here.
