An older sample piece, created as a teaching example at my overbust workshop. Will eventually put it up for sale as I'm ready to let this sample go.

Another snazzy #corset for a lovely client who found me at #lexingtoncomiccon. Fully custom, this #overbust has lovely cinnamon silk, black and copper dragonfly satin, swing hooks and copper leaf. She'll be wearing it for her Steampunk cosplays at conventions! #madeinky #kycrafted #kyarts #sharethelex #corsetmaker #waisttraining #steampunk #steampunkcorset #steampunkcosplay #thebadbutton

I've had some really lovely pieces coming out of the studio recently, like this longline underbust with external casings, flossing and garters. #customcorset #corsetmaker #waisttraining #garters #flossing #madeinky #kycrafted #underbust #corset #corsetry

Making up more father fascinators. Black and red has always been a favorite of mine.

Really looking forward to completing this nifty overbust! The finished corset is going to be so fabulous.

Working on this lovely long line underbust still. Hand embroidery always takes a bit of time, but I'm so looking forward to seeing it come to a finish!

And the first little bit of flossing is done. I really do love when clients ask for something off my flossing sampler. (at Frankfort, Kentucky)

About to move on to the flossing on this underbust. Last night I was just powering through construction! (at Frankfort, Kentucky)

Making up some garters for a client's new longline underbust. They're detachable, so depending on her mood she can change her look! Several more to make, but I'm calling this a night! #customcorset #accessories #madeinky #kycrafted #corset #garters
