Add yourself and your opinio to this poll!

Update - now there's an official poll [link] go and sign if you are interested in selling your work.

I know that DeviantArt is a massive arthub for people all over the world. And for those of us who are trying our hardest to work for ourselves, selling our art, being able to sell via DA would be a massive help.

Corset-wise, there isn't much news. and myself are all busy trying to get our businesses up and running but we still want you to love to come by!

I am going to make a promise to try and update more often, but just remember that you are all valuable members of this club! And we will rule the world!!!! muahahahaha!!! Or, the world of corsets at least.

Much love and appreciation to you all!

Happy New Year to all of our Members

I hope you all had a great holiday and didn't drink too much.

So I have a question for you all, what are your current projects and new year projects going to be?

I know I have plenty.

How many of you are going to make corsets or even try something new. I might make myself a winter coat. If I start now I might be able to get it done for next winter.

I want to say a big thank you to our new Moderator for joining the quiet madness of CorsetCrafters also happens to be having a january sale, be sure to check out her journal and her website for more information.

I myself am holding a discounted month for any DevArt member who wants an underbust to be completed in March. Just check out my journal for more info.

Waisted Space is busy as ever with his chainmail. Particularly my belt commission which is looking sexy!

So then, if any of our lovely members would like to make any suggestions as to the next steps for CorsetCrafters, feel free to do so. We are a very small community and I would love for us all to b alittle more interactive!

Thanks for reading guys!

Hello everybody

Let me introduce myself. I'm Jane, I've been a member of this community since I discovered it last January and I would love to see it grow and thrive.

and the founder and other moderator of this club are so busy in their day to day lives they asked for some help - I offered and they've taken me on board. Thank you.

I've been a dressmaker for more years than I care to think about and I've been making stays and corsets for eight years. I've worked from patterns taken for original corsets, commercially available patterns and I've drafted my own from scratch. There are so many styles to choose from and so many variations and so many ways to build a corset that in truth there are no real right or wrong ways to do anything. There are some things that work better than others, there are conventions to follow or to ignore - in the end what we attempt to make as corset crafters are corsets that do the job we (or our customer) want and at the same time looks the way we want it to and if that means not doing something the 'right' way then that's what we should do.

If you have questions on corsetry, components, construction, shapes, patterns or how to do anything please ask. Ask in the forums - you'll find people have different ideas, opinions and methods - all of them valid - some will work for you some won't but ask. Let's get this community growing and active.

Jane

Hi all.

Submissions
I want to give you all a massive apology for not updating the gallery sooner, I don't have the template and I have no idea what WaistedSpace is up to. I do however know that he has been busy with his chainmaille and such.

So I have put as many of the un-submitted work that was waiting to be submitted into the gallery, it just doesn't have a background is all.

I want to say a big thank you to all of you for your patience and perseverance with us. We aren't a large community (as much as I would love for that to be the case) so I don't quite know what to do with ourselves.

Contest
I have some bad news on this front. Although I have had some great submissions over the last few months, there is no enough entries for me to justify the £100 worth of prizes, which comes out of my money. I would love to be able to keep the contest running but it just gets a bit silly after 6 months. I would also love to be able to afford to pay for peoples materials as a prize but I can barely afford to keep afloat at the moment.

What I am going to do if take all of the contest submissions so far, and any ones that may come in at a later date and keep them in mind for the future. This isn't the end of contests here its just a short break while I pay off a bit more of my debt

A New Moderator is Needed
I have not discussed this with WaistedSpace, but I know he was looking for someone to deal with the submissions.

I am currently working a few extra hours at work to make ends meet and therefore I cannot dedicate as much time as I would like to the club. Plus I'm trying to get my little business up and running.

I would love for someone who has a little bit of time (only an hour or so a week) to send me a note offering to do this job. It is basically keeping the place up to date. I'll still be here to help out too. We need some innovative ideas and motivation.

Send me a note if you are interested!

Thanks for reading.
