I have always wanted a real corset. The victorian lace up kind. They are so expensive, and need to be made to order some times. I saw this ad on Bariatric-pal(one of those personalized cookie driven adds Im sure...) for corsets, and cute costume pieces... victorian, steam-punk, burlesque, 50's pin up and such.... Well, last night I bought two of them! They also have light weight costume pieces not made for cinching in.... these are the real deal!

You look amazing and I wouldn't know anything about costumes and appropriateness...and if I did a few drinks and I wouldn't care! LOL!

Thanks ladies! It was very fun, and hope to do it again next year!

Next year maybe you should try to submit a new self portrait of the thinner you!

And so I should!

Yeah you rocked it big time, I was super covetous! I guess back then it really helped to have a big extended family, lots of cousins to help each other into their clothes and do each other's hair!
