As an extra project outside of our uni work timetable several of us from Level 5 took up the opportunity to gain some extra corset making work experience for a burlesque club called 'Once Upon a Tease'. In the first meeting we had with Samantha, the manager of the club, the basic brief and specifications were laid out for us; as a group of 8 we are to produce 7 corsets in total made up of 2 sets.
The first set is to be candy inspired consisting of 5 corsets - x2 all in one corsets, x1 corset and x1 underbust corset. The corsets in this group are to be the same theme/colour and link together through use of surface
decoration, colour and fabric however not be the same.
We were given this image of Dita Von Teese as an
idea of what Samantha had in mind for the underbust corset
as she specified that she wanted the suspenders built in
to the corset.
For the second set of corsets, sticking to the candy theme, Samantha wanted 2 corsets of a 'Toxic Sour' theme using emerald greens and Liquorice coloured fabrics. With both groups we're given a lot of freedom to put our stamp on it and come up with a lot of ideas ourselves as to the final design. We are to decide amongst us what style of corsets are to be made for the Toxic sour set with the only specification being that they have long bustles.
