Kass's latest creative adventures!

Kassia's picture

so in my time of not being able to play WoW, i picked up a new crafty little hobby.. making corsets! it's been a challenge, but it's wicked fun :) the blue one in the pictures is one i'm in progress on now for my reniassance fair costume, and the green/red one is part of my halloween costume/just for fun :P (and the owl fabric is my lining in them, it's so soft and cute! makes me happy knowing i have little owls on me :P)

they start out something like this..

with a bunch of metal rods (bones) like this..

 

 

and with much love, turn into this! :)

You still haven't figured out how the camera's Timer function works, and persist in using mirrors.

Great work!

The ever so talented Kass...between your sewing and art skills, you definitely have a future in something. Since your starting college, just curious, what classes are you taking?

You had time to take a picture and post it but not sew on a ribbon? I am disappoint.

i actually made this up on my own, but it's loosely based on a corset from here: http://www.mantua-maker.com/catalog.html i think it's #1880-12 1870-1895 corset pattern

Seriously? Good lord Kass I'm not even going to say anything to that. Not because I can't think of anything, but because there are too bleeding many things to choose from.

i try. just for you. :P

Kassia's picture

this is why the new mr. kass's family says if he loses me he's an idiot, because i can do stuff unlike about 90% of girls my age.. :P

Can you make one for Iel?

Anybody else

do what?

kibito's picture

do what?

Kass, Iel's got a girlish figure. Just make it for a girl who's about 5'9? maybe a tad bit wider as well. Should be fine. =D

MY EYES!!!

Xyro's picture

THE GOGGLES DO NOOOTHING!

well....

Kassia's picture

gimmie his measurements and i can see what i can do :P

(actually, i would have no clue how to make a corset for a guy)

Shouldn't be

Faerilin's picture

much different from an under bust, just less flare on the ends

o.O

ielinye's picture

what the deuce! i don't need no corset! no offense to kass lol... but kib... DEFINITELY needs one

ya

kibito's picture

I'm working on that.

Nice work!!

Melindra's picture

So very cool--good job!! You are a crafty one for sure. Please to be making more.

Wow

Faerilin's picture

Damn Kass, that's really well done.  It seems like corsets are the female uniform at the club I hang out at, so I've seen quite a few, and this is among the best I've seen.  Are you going to make any over bust ones, or just under bust?

 

BTW, I think your fly is open.

thanks :)

Kassia's picture

eh, it's only half open. (i just checked haha)

i think i'm going to stick with underbusts for now, with my figure an overbust is a whole different can of worms, and probably more of a challenge to just get it to fit right. (these were a pain in the ass too, the pattern i used is for an overbust corset that goes over the hip like mine does.. but it doesn't actually go over the hip so i had to alter it to do so)

Very cool!

I really envy your talent Kass. Those are lovely!
