Thread: Gorgeous corsets and masks

Hi,
I just thought i'd let you know that a lovely lady i know has recently launched her website. She makes absolutely beautiful corsets and venetian masks.
Here's her website if you are interested Masks & Basques

I think the masks are amazing, plus she will co-orinate the corset with the mask or headress - stunning

Wow I love those masks. I really wanted to do a Renaissance Masque for my 21st... maybe I can do one for my 22nd instead! I adore the third mask on the Venetian Mask page.

Beautiful isn't it. She is a very talented lady.

Very pretty. But corsets - no. Basques yes, as she calls them on her website. Strapless bodices as I would call them. Just look at the wrinkles, and the howling gap at the bottom edge, in all of the photos.
O.E.D. definition :
Basque - a tight-fitting bodice for women
Corset - a stiffened, laced or elasticated foundation garment, worn esp. by women, that usually extends from the chest to the hips, providing support for the spine and stomach and shaping the figure.

But as strapless bodices ( and masks) they are attractive and seem nicely-made.

Viva

Yep Viva according to your OED def, you are right, i should of entitled my thread basques/bodices not corsets.

I may even just buy one to use as a decoration on my dressing table. At the moment I have a plain silver mask from my friend's birthday that I prop against my perfumes. But one of those would look B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L!
