I wonder if this is a function of the elastic loop style fastening? Perhaps make that outer row of buttons actual functional buttons, and add a back-lacing for the size adjustment. Or make both rows functional buttons a la <A HREF="http://www.folkwear.com/133.html" REL="nofollow">Folkwear's Belgian Chef's Jacket</A>, and have the back lacing be the only lacing point?Veronicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00395899688335372125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860539656121595525.post-10386243524495420102009-04-29T04:28:00.000-07:002009-04-29T04:28:00.000-07:00Both look slightly wrinkled around the sides, by t...Both look slightly wrinkled around the sides, by the buttons. I expect the buttons would draw a ton of attention, so I'd want the fabric to lay just right. Also, can the shirt collar style pieces (the lapels?) somehow fold in or come off? I love the look for steampunk but I'd want it to be a bit more versatile.<br /><br />That said if you told me that corset could be had for $99 I'd buy it right now. At $200, I'd hesitate and check my bank balance and then buy it. ;)Naomi.de.Plumehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10980848640818384802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860539656121595525.post-57294524827303787912009-04-29T04:27:00.000-07:002009-04-29T04:27:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Naomi.de.Plumehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10980848640818384802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860539656121595525.post-74323718737083673312009-04-29T04:19:00.000-07:002009-04-29T04:19:00.000-07:00I think they look awesome!

Like jess said, a double-breasted Corsair bodice would be STUNNING.<br /><br />(And I just looked at the zoomin of the first on, and is there any way to tuck away the ribbons? They're a distinctive feature, but with the double-breast it looks a bit awkward.)Mati[lda] Shraderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00117468330034186597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860539656121595525.post-88847529581025219132009-04-28T23:54:00.000-07:002009-04-28T23:54:00.000-07:00I really like the idea...but I think the points on...I really like the idea...but I think the points on the tops of the cups look a little awkward and it lends an unfinished air to the piece.

I know it's not always possible to be without wrinkles, but I think I would like them better if had a bit more... starched sort of look, perhaps?'Rinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00655247893145582382noreply@blogger.com
