10 days ago I discovered Corset Crafters
 was running a competition to make a corset using unorthodox materials.The whole family got involved in thinking of unusual materials to use. VOLT-reborn  suggested using a lorry loading strap.The obvious style of corset was a ribbon corset. Problem number one was the timescale. I've never made a ribbon corset before, so I wasn't sure what problems I'd have. Problem number two was model. As anyone who's ever made a corset knows it's not easy to fit a corset to oneself. So VOLT-reborn volunteered.  The final problem was how to stop the loading strap from fraying when I cut it. In the end I held the cut edges over a candle flame to melt them. I chose to keep the waist 'ribbon' in one piece and sew it on top of the other 'ribbons' because in this corset it is the ratchet attached to the 'ribbon' that is the closure and waist reducer. The top and bottom of the back opening is held close with rigid blue electrical wire, to complement both the colour of the corset and the unusual materials. Purchase of 1 five ton lorry loading strap, 10 hours cutting, melting, sewing, handsewing (my machine couldn't cope with more than three layers of lorry strap) later, et voila, one rather chunky male corset. Keep on trucking... |

I loved the idea when VOLT-reborn came up with it. I wasn't sure how the ratchet would work but once it was finished I just fell in Love with it. So butch!
I guess when it comes to things like this I make a Better conceptual artist/designer than the perso who puts their name to it.

That's zethtlangshyo and I. ^_^
Luckily they were also on offer in the local DIY shed so it didn't cost an arm and a leg. I'd hate to buy 20 or so for a lorry though
