Harry and Eleanor had a beautiful gothic fairytale wedding in Oxford. I made Eleanor’s whole ensemble and a corsetted waistcoat for her groom Harry.

My love of the wedding industry goes back to when I was a little girl growing up as the daughter of hoteliers, whose main summer business was weddings! Now I do the work many corsetieres shy away from. Bespoke corsetted gowns for brides, and corsetted waistcoats for grooms.

Since ditching one business to focus full time 100% on making corsets for clients, I’ve been rushed off my feet! Now I’m catching up with the blog .. expect more!

In the middle of December, I packed a bag of corset samples and took a trip to London.  I was to visit Lucy Litwack, CEO of famous luxury lingerie boutique, Coco-de-Mer.  A pretty amazing woman if you look her up. The meeting had been prompted by Immodesty Blaize who was also working with them.

The first Siren corset went out last week, this is what it looked like, inside and out!  And what happened to the scraps?
