I have one last ready to ship underbust corset for sale in my Etsy boutique and I JUST marked it down another 20% which brings it to the low price of $80! It's really quite adorable and has lots of charm and was made for a curvy, plus sized body.

It has a 33" waist and all the other details can be found at the corset's listing.

I just got word I need a huge plumbing job done at my rental property.  yeah what a way to start the New Year.  I would like to get 2-3 quotes to get the job done and I was wondering if anyone here had any they would like to tell me about?  I am in the Clairemont Mesa area.  Don't tell me about Bill Howe Plumbing, I have already dealt with them.

I need someone to dig up and replace a mainline.  This will include excavating the yard, pulling a tree, cutting and welding a iron fence.  Big job.

*sigh*

Has anyone ever bought anything from Cryoflesh?
I've been staring at this skirt forever:
http://cryoflesh.com/shop/neophyte-skirt-p-927.html

I'm a little weirded out by her sizing chart.
My waist is a 29 but my hips are 38, so I'm not sure if the Small will fit me or not.

I think I've heard that the sizing runs big.
So any help you can give would be much appreciated!!
Thanks! :)

I am creating what I call a "semi-corset", but I still hope all your fine corset makers/owners will be able to help me out.  I'm not attempting to make a full corset, however, I am making a corset top to go with the cocktail dress I am making.  I don't want it to do any reductions, I just want it to look nice.  My plan is to use Casa Satin from JoAnns, and line the satin with twill.  I was going to use just a plain cotton lining.  I plan on hitting the hardware store tomorrow for some zip ties for the boning.  I have Vogue Pattern 2810 all ready to go.  But I plan on modifiying it as I don't want a busk.  The only opening will be in the back.  (http://www.voguepatterns.com/item/V2810.htm)  I also do know how to sew, so that's why I have gone this route.

So, my questions are:
1. Will my plan for the Satin with Twill, then plain cotton lining work?
2. Will my modification trow something off?
3. How do I create a modesty panel that will look good?

Thank you for an advice you can offer!
