I recently went on a corset making course! I would highly recommend it! you can save so much money making them yourself!

Eileen who takes the course is fantastic! It was the best 4 days I have had in a long time. . . and wearing one of my creations out was fun!

My last costume was made by a wonderful company called Ophelia Fancy. They not only made the costume, they made matching frilly knickers and pasties, and it's adorable! It's run by 2 lovely ladies from Brighton, who were so great to work with - they incorporated all my ideas, plus made some excellent suggestions and delivered it within budget, and on time, which is nothing short of miraculous! Check out their website at www.opheliafancy.com

I have to agree with Lily yet again.

These are two of my girlies from Brighton and they have just won alternative London fashion week. I dont know if any of you made to spitalfields as i advertised the fashion show on here earlier on in the year.

So I suggest you get in there before they become too expensive for us mere mortals.

I am the proud owner of a pair of tutu bums from their first ever batch so they are nearly vintage now!

my fav is dark angel corsets,she trained at wimbeldon &has a degree in costumes her speciality is corsets but she has made full outfits for many London based performers. Her prices were more than resonable too!!!
