I have set myself a challenge

Sat Apr 18, 2009, 11:49 AM
A challenge that will quite possibly kill me off.

A corset a day (5 days a week) for six months.

Thats approximately 120 corsets.

"Economy friendly" corsets (£80-£140 + P & P ).

Said corsets are plain silk (dupioni 1 on my fabrics list) overbust([link]) or underbust ([link]) made to the usual standards my corsets are made to but with less boning and only one layer of coutil as opposed to two. Choice of busk front opening on underbust is up to you. Busk guard and modesty panels included.

The question: Would you be interested in going for this, obviously to go ahead with the challenge I am looking at 120 sales. My schedule is slowing down and not having so much work on is driving me insane, my brides are booked in but I can't start the gowns until closer to the weddings :( My fingers are itching for some sewing... Let me know if you'd be interested via note/comment :)

Fabrics can be seen here: [link]

Update: Thanks for the interest so far! Already got a couple of slots filled but keep it coming.

I will hold out the hope that this wont kill you off :D It sounds like a really good idea! I'm sure that this will work really well, I have just commissioned a latex corset and dress so I will be out of pocket for the next couple of months, but I will definitely be wanting one!

I'm leaning towards the charcoal coloured silk, the last one? Does it show up nice in person?

Thanks :)

The black is what my cousin almost always goes for. It is a nice one and has a sheen to it, which always adds a nice bit of depth etc :)

I've started today, so we'll see how it goes and how interested I can stay throughout the process. Even if I don't get 120 orders I can still try and make a corset a day and sell them as samples. I'm trying a long line overbut pattern that I made theother night today... I'm enjoying it for the moment, but lets see how long that lasts!

Lovely - when I order I will definitely go for that colour I think.

Well done on starting as you mean to go on, just make sure that it doesn't wear you out too much - nothing is worth loosing time on being poorly or just down. Make sure you are enjoying it! :)

I trust you will give us a post when you finish the new design!?

I serpently will! It's almost done-I'm quite proud of my progress and the shape is looking just how I wanted it to. Hurrah for graph paper!

And thank you for being so supportive by the way :glomp:

:D awesome - oh the wonders that can be done with graph paper hehe!

You're welcome :hug: you totally deserve the support - I really like what you are doing, and the way you do it - all off your own back, and totally from the heart. It's the way everything should be created :)
