Shipped last week: semi-custom Gibson Girl in the last of my original lot of grey broche. This client will be adding her own flossing to match the contrast waist tape. . . . #popantique #gibsongirl #handmadecorset #corsetmaker #corsetrix #spotbroche #coutil #singlelayercorset

Today on #thedailywaist! With mass produced corsets getting better every year, why do people buy "handmade" corsets? (And what does it mean when we say "handmade"?)

I will never tire of those gold polka dots. Here they are a peplum on a bespoke Madame I made for @karolinalaskowskalingerie. I'm always flattered when I get asked to make something for another designer. . . . #popantique #customcorset #handmadecorset #realcorsetsrealpeople #plungingneckline #Repost @karolinalaskowskalingerie (@get_repost) ・・・ Thinking about corset silhouettes this morning and I keep coming back to this as my favourite, a custom piece that @popantique made me 🖤 Also enjoying this obnoxious instagram filter, no regrets.

Today's pickup: a lightly asymmetric bespoke Gibson Girl in gorgeous biscuit & gold dot broche. The hip spring on this is so sharp you might cut yourself! . . . #popantique #gibsongirl #bespokecorset #handmadecorset #maker #shopsmall #waisttraining #realcorsetsrealpeople

Yesterday's fitting prep, a bespoke "Madame Gibson" in grey coutil. I only do Madame corsets with in person fittings, as the deep plunge neckline has little margin for error. This corset will be finished with a pale lilac petersham binding to bring out the mauve undertones in this dye lot. #corset #bespokecorset #handmadecorset #corsetmaker #popantique #coutil

Sunday morning mockup fittings. A sweet little 17.5" bespoke Gibson Girl in sand herringbone. The fitting went beautifully and we were graced by a touch of holy light as I took my reference photos! #popantique #gibsongirlcorset #bespokecorset #bespokecorsetry #handmadecorset #realcorsetsrealpeople #toile #corsetmaking

A plain black corset? Black, yes, but not so plain: powermesh gores, - combination of spiral and synthetic whalebone, 8 panels, bespoke fit, underbusk and covered busk, and flossing... it's all here in this "simple" single layer Gibson Girl. #corsetmaking #popantique #gibsongirlcorset #corsetrix #blackcorset #bespokecorsetry
