Edidid -> RE: Plus-Size Corsets... (3/6/2006 5:05:08 PM)

Since I am betting Vancouver_cinful will appreciate this post I will speak up.
For anyone needing a corset that may not be a standard size, or commonly available you should try contacting various Victorian era non-military "living history" societies. There are many custom seamstresses and groups often have a few corset makers. I know, my sister is one for her local area.
Now you may not find anyone able to make one out of certain materials and such if they have no experience with said mats, but it is worth a try. My sister has made many arguably kinky corsets for someone to wear to masquerade, or so they say -.^.
Now these are usualyl fully handmade and fairly pricey, but if you want a vegan corset or have a serious fitting issues a handmade corset may be the only real option. The fees are traditionally either materials provided +time or materials cost+% material costs (finding fee basically)+time.
I help my sister do her accounting and have seen corsets made by her run from ~$200 to over $5,000 with an average around $300-$400. The $5k one was for a museum so I assume it had many additional fees involved.
Edit: um changed a word to seamstresses ><
