About the Gabrielle Corset style
The 'sweetheart' bustline of the Gabrielle corset curves over the bust for enhanced cleavage, while curving over the hips to give that gorgeous hourglass corset look . It is excellent for waist training and durable enough for 24/7 corset wearing. The Gabrielle corset has 26 spiral and flat steel bones and a fully boned attached modesty panel and a front busk closure.

This Gabrielle corset is a sample piece and has never been worn and in brand new condition. It is lined in a black cotton denim with an inner coutil layer for added support.

Just got back from Babes in Underpants! Loads of cruelty-free vendors, like PlastikWrap, Futurstate, Purrfect Pneapples and my new favorite Sick on Sin, with great clothes and accessories - and best of all, 'babes in inderpants' serving cookies, cupcakes and other treats :D

I picked up this in green and this in a kids size in black for Fred, and some cute little barrettes for Iz.
[info]ravensee was spinning some great music too (I hope A is feeling better tonight!)

An old friend from Peterborough popped in as well, I think he used to work for PlastikWrap. He informed me that we have known each other for over 20 years - I can't believe I'm that old! He's looking great, despite being an old fogey like myself. He also has a daughter who is turning 3.

I came home to Mike having just finished tearing out the paneling on the third basement wall, so we will start drywalling that tonight after Iz goes to bed. It's all looking good so far! I do hope it won't take too long to sort it all out, my sewing area is even more squished than it usually is. It will be so worth it though!

Current Mood: happy
