I have been so busy working on an underbust commission, a corset for myself for my holiday, and the model corset that I am hoping to use for this year's shoot at the Oxford Conference of Corsetry.

We are roughly the same size but Gingerface does cinch much more than me, so I have got to work on another one - this time a more simple affair but with some embelishment I think (either lace or sequins). Here's the original corset on me;
