I haven't been taking client orders for a while now, but now I am officially 'shutting up shop' as I have booked my flights to Europe and will not be doing much in the way of sewing for the next 6-12 months. I am very excited about all this though and am frantically finished a gorgeous ruched tulle overbust for myself before I leave!

Thankyou so much to all my lovely clients over the past few years. I have genuinely enjoyed working with every one of you and felt so proud to see the looks on your faces as you tried on your new corset for the first time. I hope to return to corsetry at some stage in the future.

13/09/2009 Wow - it's been a while since I have done much corsetry! I have been working a fulltime corporate job over the past year to save to go overseas and have gotten massively involved in the Perth burlesque scene - hence not much time for corsetry! I am reselling a client's corset though as she has lost a lot of weight and no longer fits it. If you are interested then send me an email. Details are on the ready-made page.

My workload has dramatically increased lately and I have decided to stop taking new orders for the time being. I'll reassess this in August when things may have lightened up a bit. In the meantime ready-made corsets are still available on my Ready-Made page and in Burlesque Baby and Mame in Perth.

Recently I completed two overbust corsets. One was made from plain black satin for use in a photoshoot for a hair stylist; the other was made from black and blue silk dupion and had lots of pretty trim. Images of both of these are in the Overbust gallery.

Photos of the Lissome corset I made for Stefan for Mardi Gras have been uploaded. I think his outfit looks fantastic!

Wow! What a crazy last few weeks. I have introduced four standard styles available for order in standard sizes or semi-custom. I've also placed my first stock in a retail outlet - Mame Clothing at 575 Wellington Street, Perth. There will be more going in at Mame and Burlesque Baby (567 Wellington Street) over the next 6 weeks, so if you live in Perth and want a wicked Volancia corset but don't want to have to wait, call in and have a look.

There have been quite a few changes made to the website to reflect the new ordering structure. Take a look around and get a feel for the new place. (Oh, and let me know if you find any broken links or funky html!)

I have just completed two new custom overbust corsets and am extremely happy with both of them. They both have interesting designs and removable trim!

Last night I completed a new overbust made from black satin and floral brocade. I didn't get to take any snaps of it on my dummy, but my client was kind enough to allow me to take some of her wearing it. The removable back modesty panel was completed this morning so it wasn't laced into the corset.

I've also put up photos of another sample corset I completed late last year. This was used in a photoshoot for the portfolio of a young hairdresser. It was made to size 8 measurements and is for sale on my Ready-Made page.

I have taken photos of the black and blue sample corsets on my dummy so you can better see what the corset looks like. These are under the Gallery and Ready-Made pages.

There are now many new additions to the Underbust page. I got some great shots of some sample corsets and a couple from my own collection. All photography is by the fabulous RSJS and I was lucky enough to secure the modelling talents of a gorgeous friend of mine, Miss Bunny Brixton.

Three of the photographed corsets are also for sale. Details of these have been listed on the Ready-Made page. Please email me for a direct sale.

I recently completed a burgundy silk shantung overbust corset and a super-high-backed underbust Lissome corset made from bright holographic purple and silver shiny lycra. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to photograph these before they were whisked away, but I am promised pictures of the latter which is to be worn during the Sydney Mardi Gras parade, so stay tuned!

While in New Zealand I picked up a bunch of fabulous new fabric and motifs. I have added photos of these to the Fabric and Motifs page.

There are plans afoot to stock my ready-made styles in a couple of retail outlets here in Perth. Once I clear my current orders I will get to work on making unique, one-off corsets for these stores. I hope to have them stocked by the end of February, so stay tuned for more details!

I will also be increasing my custom corsetry charges at this time, so if you want a custom corset, now is the time to place your order, although I cannot guarantee I'll be able to get to it straight away. Remember to check the trim and motifs pages to see if anything piques your interest to make your corset more unique.

I got some great images of my sample corsets while I was in New Zealand and these will be going up very shortly after I've had a chance to go through them. Most of the corsets from this shoot will be for sale.

My focus lately has been on completing samples of the standard underbust styles I've developed. I have completed three of these and will be getting professional shots of them all over the next week which will be put up in the new year.

Clients will be able to choose a particular style and get a semi-custom corset made, or they can combine elements of different corsets. This will make the ordering process much easier for both myself and my clients!
