When Halloween is about nothing but plastic bones.  

Where the fuck do you put the horse and rider in the off-season?

Women's Sexy Flower Pattern Corset Plastic Bones Bustier

Hi there Lucy, I just wanted to know something! How can you tell plastic boning from steel? Is there visible difference? (if you could provide side-to-side photos that would be great) and lastly, I just needed to say that I love you and your blog / vlog. It should be illegal to be that graceful wow<3

Hello! Thanks so much for your compliments. :)

One important thing to note is that most OTR corset companies will not invest in the good quality synthetic whalebone - so in corsets I’ve tried which contained plastic boning, the bones were pretty poor quality. The corsets felt unusually lightweight (in direct comparison to the number of bones and layers; light corsets are not always a measure of quality) and I also noticed that the bones were atypically flexible, even compared to spiral bones.

But the biggest way to check is to get a decent magnet (I use a wand made for picking up pins, but I’ve heard others use a Curiously Strong Magnet) and check the bones for iron content. If there’s no pull, it’s a good chance that it’s plastic (as carbon fibre bones are SUPER stiff and as far as I know is not used in any OTR corsets).

I have a video on different types of corset bones here, if you’re interested. :)

Different anon, but I'm planning on experimenting with plastic whaleboning for garment understructures that can be machine washable. I've always used steel bones for bodices and high waisted skirts but I'm hoping the plastic whaleboning makes (gentle) washing the garments a bit more convenient.

Hello! Plastic boning can warp with heat, so I’d be hesitant about washing it with warm water. I made a video on corsets and water not too long ago - if you do insist on washing your bodices/ structured garments, I would highly recommend hand-washing them and never putting them in the washing machine.

I'm looking for white plastic or clay bones, about 2-3 inches in length for crafting purposes. Anyone got/know anywhere that sells them?

For those who visit the plastic bones site have seen various of pictures of the "do you know touch" t-shirt to be honest I thought it was already out due to the amount of pics I've seen. And for does who do not know touch is, he is a local legend and part of DDS crew and plastic bones he has recently just realised his exclusive t-shirt with their own hand signed boxes. This video gets up close and personal with touch, get them while you can.
