Etsy Corsets

Those of us blessed/cursed with an hourglass figure can surely best appreciate the stunning effect of a corset. They are really one of the few things left in this world that praise our body type and exist to help those poor souls who haven't the voluptuosity (if that's not a word, it should be) of a 10+ inch difference between waist and hips/bust.
Some of my favorites available on etsy.com:

Leather Steampunk Top by jazuchan: To tie in my last post, a beautiful marriage of antique, fantasy, and post-apocalyptic style. Couldn't pull off the bare midriff myself, but if I could, I'd totally wear this on stage.


Nautical Nancy by BoobieTrapCorsets: The best name for a corset line EVER! The epitome of pin-up deliciousness, and cute photography to boot!


Marie Antoinette gown by Battyazac: One can't help but be in awe of the talent and skill (not to mention patience) required to make this elaborate and stunning of a costume. I can't imagine getting to wear something like this (though I don't think it would be fun wear it all day every day).


From the Retro Numero Uno collection by Freyagushi: Okay, so I'm normally violently opposed to anything frilly and pink, but this one... Somehow it is rather kick-ass anyway, and it's not just the styling.


From Carnie Couture by Lvizia: Of course it's not exactly something that you can wear anywhere but a masquerade party, but I love this kind of thing! If you're familiar with my love for circus things, whimsy, and couture, you'll understand why I had to include this gem.
