Commission: Rose Corset for LuWen boy

Rose Corset - custom commission
This weekend I finished a special custom commission; a ten-panel corset for a Luts Type 2 boy - a LuWen. From drafting the pattern to fixing the last eyelet, it took about 7 hours' work in total, including hand-embroidering every singe rose.



The corset is sewn from pale pink satin overlaid with pink crystal organza and lined in taffeta. It is embroidered in silk thread with a design of roses, embellished with diamante trim and French knots worked in silver thread, adorned with  pink satin ribbon rose. Pink satin pleating forms the bust, and it laces up the back with a white satin ribbon through five pairs of metallic pink eyelets.


This was a custom one-off commission, but a similar custom embroidered corset - for either male or female doll - would be about £45 depending on fabrics used & the complexity of the design. I can also make matching shoes and other garments and am happy to discuss commissions.
