I posted last week about wanting to do a bit of experimenting with my corset after seeing Richard Nicholl's amazing AW09 collection.
I dug out my Agent Provocateur blush pink corset, vintage 50's girdle, DIY plastic top made from a kids Stormtrooper costume and old silver Topshop jeans to begin my experimentation. This is by no means the end of it, but for half an hours worth of playing around I have certainly been given plenty of ideas to get me started. Although word to the wise - do not attempt to strap oneself into anything tight and corseted after you've just eaten a huge plate of belgian pancakes and maple syrup.
I also tried it with a pale pink jersey dress and grey tights but the photo came out blurred so I will perhaps take that photo again next weekend - it won't be the last you'll see of this particular experiment anyway, especially as it's given me the impetus to get back on the vintage corset hunt, which I left behind years ago because it's actually quite hard to find decent ones.
See what you've done Mr Nicholl?! I hope you're proud of yourself!
