I really need to get a grip on things and start to post my works here again. So let me present to you my first genuine leather corset vest and boots covers.
This was a big project for a burlesque act and took me a month off constant work on construction, fitting and sewing. I worked with leather first time and fell in love with the material and possibilities it provides.
Burlesque as a genre gives me a freedom to design and decorate as much as I want. And its refreshing to work in a tandem with a model to plan whole act ahead with smallest details and decide how to move and dance in costume on stage. We planned and figured out best ways how to take corset off and where should we place closures, zippers and belt buckles.
Ring leader and wild beast tamer burlesque act was premiered in November with great success. Everything worked out as planned without a hinge. Ovation was stunning and my model was a real star of the evening.
I can unabashedly say I proud of this project.
