I’ve got a few new things up on Etsy – a pinstripe bombshell dress and two new aprons. I just made the aprons today, after wanting to make vintage aprons for a while now.

Corsets and Etsy and Finished items and Items for Sale 7:19 pm
I finished the pinstripe corset just an hour ago, and I’ve just put it up on Etsy.
It’s definetly a bargain – I don’t think I’d sell another corset this cheap. It’s mainly because it’s my first item up on Etsy. It’s to fit someone with a 28″ waist, steel boned, three layers. To have a look at it, either click the images or go here

Bombshell and Corsets and Etsy 3:19 am
So I’ve been working on a new corset the past few days. Instead of doing a custom order, I decided to make just a basic pinstripe overbust to sell on Etsy. I started it a few nights ago, and it’s nearly finished! I’m very happy with it so far. I just need to drop by Spotlight in the morning to grab some bias binding, then do the grommets. I’m hoping to have it up on Etsy at some point in the next few days. After this one (and a few more unfinished projects), I’ll start taking commissions for custom corsets. I have two bombshell dresses that aren’t quite finished yet. A pinstripe size 12 that I need to re-do the zipper in (the bane of my existence!) and a pink Betty Boop print one that I need to hem, then do the zipper.
At the moment, I’m looking to get a few things up on Etsy. I’m thinking of making some circle skirts and things like that, so I can fill up Etsy a bit. Here’s hoping it does well!
Pinstripe corset Wednesday, Feb 17 2010
Corsets 5:43 pm
Ever since I bought a fairly large yardage of pinstripe suiting last year, I’ve been aching to make a pinstripe corset. I don’t really wear pinstripe, though. I would like to make one for sale, but would rather wait for someone to express an interest (so I don’t make one with a 28″ waist, and someone with a 22″ waist wants one!)
So, if you or someone you know are interested in a custom pinstripe corset (either overbust or underbust), let me know either in a comment or at isabella-rayne@hotmail.com
Pinstripe tatters and rags skirt Tuesday, Feb 16 2010
Finished items and Skirts 12:27 am
It’s been a while since I’ve done much sewing. We recently had the floorboards polished at home, meaning I was without a sewing machine for a while. Yesterday, though, I decided that it was time I made a new tatters and rags skirt. I recently got my hips pierced, and needed some new skirts that don’t sit up on my waist.
Anyway, voila!
It took probably close to 10 hours. I spent about 1.5 hours cutting out all the tatters and rags (made from scrap fabric left over from pinstripe bombshell dresses), pinstripe suiting and satin lining. It’s actually quite heavy. There’s at least a few hundred pieces of fabric on it. The last one I made, the waistband was a triangle of velvet that tied shut at the front. This time, though, I made a proper waistband. It’s lined with stiff denim and has 8 silver grommets at the front just to give it a bit of zazz. It’s also fairly open at the front, but angles down to just above my knees at the back.
Also, I’m planning to put a few bombshell dresses up for sale soon, so keep an eye out!
