Anyone Know How To Make A Corset?

[Just Kara (for now)]

I am in need of someone who knows how to, and is willing to make a corset. I was going to buy one from the vendors at faire, but my funds seem to have disappated in the past month and I don't know if I can afford $300+ for a corset.

If you or anyone you know would be willing and has the time, and is willing to negotiate a price that is perhaps more affordable, please let me know.

Thank you so much,
Kara

corsets are one thing I'm not experienced in. I'm planning one of my own right now, actually, but I've never made one. I'll let you know though, that even making it's gonna be expensive. The supplies of mine alone are running upwards of $150, and this is a very simple corset, that probably won't be *exceptionally* strong.
Definitely not nearly as good as the ones at faire.

What about call me charlotte? I *think* she was the friend of yours who you mentioned in the costumes thread. Does she know anything about corsetry?

[Just Kara (for now)]

Yep, Jess is my friend. But she is also busy with my costume for faire, as I am cast I have a specific costume. Also, I'm not sure if she's tried corsetry yet or not.

I realize that having someone make it will not be much cheaper, but I thought I'd throw it out there. Boo on money!

yep, i agree on that: grr on money. I need some for me as well, if only for my season pass and munchies during faire.
I'd make one for you, but I don't know really much of anything about it, and I don't want to screw it up and therefore waste your money since I'm guessing it's tight (it tends to be a trend for us faire people).
