ripped red friday

resized-ripped-red.jpg
this is a really old corset which has started to rip in places but it still does a sterling job of cinching, lifting and bolstering.
I always tell my female patients who complain about their less than perfect bodies - get yourself to a corsetiere.  Gallery Serpentine in Sydney has some fabulous styles if you’re looking for inspiration (and no this isn’t a paid plug, I just love their handiwork)

    When i die, i want Princess to wear the ‘Widow in scarlet’ ensemble to the funeral.

    She’ll look suitably tragic, while at the same time retaining her hotness when all eyes are on her at the graveside.

    Plus red’s her favourite colour.

    I don’t think enough thought is put into funeral wear. They have ‘Bride’ magazine, why not ‘Widow’?//

    Good heavens!

    I would write more, but I fear that I have exploded all over my keyboard.

    You look ravishing in red, my dear.

    My best girlfriend (Red) tossed me…”All you need to be Impossibly French”. The writing/comments on French women & their lingerie…made me think of you. ;-)

    Once the corset gives way completely, will you be putting it up for bid? Judging by the picture, I believe you have a small treasure there.

    Ah, what I have waited and hungered for all week. I may need another round of tranquilizers to settle me down.

    once it starts busting up with some more holes make sure you put some photos of that online.

    I think there’s already a photo of a red corset with a strategically placed hole….

    try typing friday into the search engine if you haven’t seen it

    It’s just a yellow star (representing the vietnamese flag) with the words Hoa Binh beneath. It means Peace, which is my wish for the people of vietnam. I worked there for 4 weeks in ‘05, ‘06 and ‘07

    [...] favourite colour is red and it features in many a corset friday shot. I’ve been trying to persuade our new DON that we should update to a red and white [...]

    why thank you dolce. I’m crazy about corsets, think I have about 30 of them. sadly since stephen died I don’t really wear many of them any more. except when I do a “corset friday” photo
