If you are putting together a catalog, you might also want to consider doing some quality -basic- long-line-style (post-victorian) corsets, in durable but not fancy fabrics and with sturdy boning meant for actual work-wear under clothing. Much of what is shown is meant for decorative corsetry, and there is very little made for, say, servant-girls, that are meant to be worn under uniforms or for a working woman under suits, to replace less flattering modern body-shaping undergarments -- not fancy, but durable and meant for active work.
Offering a small selection of these at reasonable costs, with durable, not-decorative materials might provide some return customers. I wore my first corset out with daily wear, and it niggled at me to the point where I haven't replaced it, because it bothered me to see such a beautiful garment worn out because I wanted to wear it as a daily garment. Oh... and offering some of the unusual features like spoon-busks for those of us with more generous proportions will endear you to many of us.
Just a thought,
LZ
