Cotton Cami's
examples coming soon!

Silk Cami's
Silk camisole tops feel and look fantastic. Soft and non-irratable against the skin, they drape beautifully and make the summer outfit. Silk is very versatile in style, meaning that it would look great with a pair of jeans or under a suit or cardigan. The silk I use for Camisole tops is Silk Charmeuse which is 19MM in weight. The range of colours for silk charmeuse is vast and every colour just looks gorgeous.

Silk charmeuse is difficult to source in the UK, where I'm based, and the prices so far are pretty much stuck on £37 per yard. Luckily, it only takes one yard to make a stunning Camisole.

Styles of Camisole can vary and examples will be coming soon!

Silk Jersey Cami's
examples coming soon!

Linen Cami's
examples coming soon!

Trims
Trims can be of lace or ribbon and can be anywhere.

Beads, sequins or ribbon work will be applied by hand, so the cost will rise by each hour of work it takes.

Interested?
Just send me a note with "Commission Cami" in the subject line and we can chat about the styles you like and a budget you'd like to stick to. Something unique to yourself doesn't have to cost a bomb!

Single Layer Underbusts
As these are often tiny in length only a quater metre of coutil is used, and therefore the cost is kept to a minimum. Much the same as an overbust, but they range from £45.

Fashion (2/3Layer) Underbusts
Same as the overnusts but obviously shorter in length and dont cover your bust. Start from around £85.

Styles
There are many styles you can choose from, so feel free to discuss your ideas with me

Interested?

Single Layer Corset
A single layer corset which can be worn beneath clothing is made from cotton coutil, which is a fabric that was made primarily for use in corsets. It is comfortable, absorbent and most importantly, it doesn't stretch, so it will hold all day without becoming loose or sagging.

Coutil comes in three colours, black, white and "flesh" which is a peach colour. As it is 100% cotton it can be dyed to a colour of your choice, which is great if you have a particular colour of clothing you always like to wear, or if you have a favourite colour.

Single layer overbusts could cost as little as £95, and they last for quite a while.

Fashion (2/3 Layer) Corsets
Fashion Corsets have the coutil lining, and an interfaced fashion fabric, if you want an extra strong corset then a third layer (often another stiff cotton is used) is sandwiched between the two layers. The fashion fabric (top layer) of your corset can be anything, as long as it is not stretchy of course.

Some good examples of fashion fabrics that you could choose from are; Silk Brocade, Silk Dupioni, Silk or Acetate taffeta, or Wool/Silk Tartan.

Fashion Corsets can be made by myself for as little as £120.

Boning
I double bone all corsets in the seams but this is only one method of boning a corset and if you have a preference then I can accomodate that. I find that boning in the seams is neat, comfortable and once again, visually pleasing.

Interested?
If you would like me to commission you an overbust corset please feel free to send me a note with "commission O/B" in the subject line. We can discuss all of your ideas and come up with something that youll love to wear and something that wont blow your budget out of proportion!

Please bare in mind that I do not make a profit, and if ever there is a profit you will be refunded the difference or it will go to charity (Everyman Charity is the one I normally support, but you are free to suggest any charities to me).

The reason I do this is because by asking me to make you a commission you are helping me to build up my portfolio.

If you would be interested in commissioning me, please feel free to send me a note or e-mail me and we can discuss your design ideas and prices that suit you and your budget.

Thanks.
