<span style="text-align: center;">Over the years Period Corsets has had the pleasure to work with many brides, helping them achieve their bridal visions. For this project, we collaborated with the wonderful Zeita Studios, a Seattle based bridal company that specializes in bespoke gowns. They selected one of our corsets as an important element of their inspired ensemble. </span><br />

To compliment her wild and windy layered skirt, Period Corsets created a beautiful matching corset in pale blue brocade. Our classic hourglass shaped <a href="https://www.periodcorsets.com/corsets/1880-alice-corset">c. 1880 Alice corset</a> was the ideal silhouette that Kimberly was looking for with the particular shaping that she had requested. Something curvy, supportive, and powerful to represent the strength and fluidity of the ocean.<br />

Our Period Corsets Renaissance Faire Bodice ran amok through Halloween as it took a turn with the witches from <i>Hocus Pocus</i>. Our client supplied the fabric for her custom corset for her own interpretation of Sarah Sanderson from the movie <i>Hocus Pocus</i>, a classic fan favorite for the spooky holidays. </div>

Period Corsets had the amazing opportunity to collaborate with gifted glass artist Sabina Boehm for an on-going series of wearable art pieces. The most recent installment was a two-part piece of two ensembles. Themed "Fire and Ice", Sabina used her handmade glass medallions and swirls to adorn bespoke corsets and our full panniers.</div>

The first look, "Fire", included a hand stitched corset, designed and made entirely by Sabina, featuring dangling red medallions and "fire" bust cups. To match this look, Period Corsets created an all black full pannier cage and assisted in stitching on the many medallions which embellished the "bars" of the cage.<br />

The look of this finished piece is stunning indeed. And the sound created by the glass pieces tinkling added to the theme. As the wearer moves about, the glass florets clink against each other creating a crackling noise reminiscent to fire.<br />

For the look of "Ice" Sabina went with cooler tones of ivory, white and light blue. Using a similar method to her "Fire" piece, Sabina used the lampwork technique to create hundreds of glass swirls.<br />

For her base corset, Sabina chose our <a href="https://www.periodcorsets.com/corsets/1660-kristina">c. 1660 Kristina</a> stays, flatlined to an ivory silk. Period Corsets started her with a fitting corset to test the shaping and sizing before constructing her final one out of the silk material.<br />

Her handmade swirls took hours to hand sew to the corset surface, a group effort among the artist, ourselves and willing friends. Due to the slippery surface and shaping, the swirls required just the right placement and stitch to keep them from shifting around or falling off.<br />

This second look had its grand <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">début</span></span> in Murano, Italy, a major glass center of the world. For centuries, Murano glass artists have kept their techniques a secret, protecting their unique ways of creating the intricate glass pieces for which they are so famous. Just recently the Murano glass artists finally opened their doors to established and budding glass artists alike to share in their knowledge. As part of its yearly, traveling conference, the Glass Art Society went to this famed city to share, learn and celebrate.<br />

We had the honor of collaborating with one of our favorite local designers, Ms. Doris Black. She asked us to construct the complete costumes, both the undergarments and the outerwear for her two leading ladies. Queen Elizabeth I and Lady Viola are wearing head-to-toe and from the inside out costumes and undergarments made by Period Corsets.<br />

The Academy Award winning film <i>Shakespeare in Love, </i>screenplay by Marc Norman and Tom Stoppard<i> </i> was adapted for stage by Lee Hall. It is a comical and fictitious tale of William Shakespeare, set during a time of a challenging bout of writer's block. Will is out of ideas for his current play until he finds himself in a romantic tangle with the witty and lovely Lady Viola. Lady Viola, an aristocrat with a desperate love of poetry, falls in love with Shakespeare's words and yearns to be on the stage. She disguises herself as a boy in order to audition. Queen Elizabeth I-- who needs no introduction-- is a major character in the play. These are the two strong-willed complex female characters we made costumes for. Using Ms Blacks designs Period Corsets created both<br />
Lady Viola and Queen Elizabeth's multi-piece ensembles with the proper historic period silhouettes and aspects to reflect the character's natures.<br />

Just like the tide, theater productions have specific timelines and deadlines. Building Elizabethan-era costumes is a time consuming endeavor. Queen Elizabeth I in full regalia can take 200+ hours to construct her multi-piece ensemble. We were limited to a two week build period, which at the end of which all of the many pieces of each costume had to be ready to wear on stage for the dress rehearsal. We found ourselves in the same position many of our clientele find themselves in, with a CORSET EMERGENCY! Luckily for us, we were able get a jump on our building the outerwear by pulling the proper silhouette required for Lady Viola's outerwear from our own stock of undergarments.<br />
For Queen Elizabeth, we finalized a prototype drum farthingale, a project which had been put on the back burner for many years. (How often does one need one of these unique skirt supports? Not too often it seems... until now). Lastly, regarding the stays for Queen Elizabeth. We needed something suitable for a queen, her stays were based loosely on the "effigy stays". We needed to finish our research, pattern, mock-up and fit the garments. While we finalized the shaping and historic details of our new Elizabeth c. 1600 stays, (as pictured below) our c. 1560 Anna stays worked as understudy, holding the drum farthingale in place.<br />

In a workroom busy fulfilling clients orders, it's often difficult to carve out time for research and development of new patterns. For some time now, we've been mulling over what would be the perfect shape for the Elizabethan-era stays to add to our retail line. We were delighted to have <i>Shakespeare in L</i><i>ove</i> provide the excuse to execute our new ideas and work on and complete two new Period Corsets products-- Elizabethan stays and a drum farthingale.<br />

To achieve this most extreme and unique shaped skirt support, Period Corsets constructed a Drum Farthingale, also known as a Wheel or French Farthingale. This steel boned circular structure ties onto the waist with an adjustable tie and is held in place with the use of an over-sized, firmly padded bum roll. The angle of the drum farthingale is high in the back and dipped in the front. When worn with the proper stays and an over-skirt, it creates the impressive silhouette required by royalty such as Queen Elizabeth I herself.<br />

For our second leading lady, the character of Lady Viola required an ensemble that would not pale in comparison alongside the impressive Queen Elizabeth. For Lady Viola we had the task of constructing the outerwear and the garments worn beneath. Normally Period Corsets garments are hidden underneath the layers of costumes that actors wear. To have the opportunity to construct the outerwear and to have our pieces seen on stage was very exciting for us.<br />

In keeping with her character, Lady Viola's look was a softer, slightly less historically correct costume. Her gown was a romantic take on an Elizabethan look, consisting of a boned bodice and skirt made in teal blue brocade and embroidered silver fabrics. Her puffed sleeves were masterfully hand-stitched into shape and tied on to the bodice in three spots along the armscye. Worn underneath her gown, were more layers of Period Corsets undergarments consisting of a tabbed pair of stays, a 17th c. bum roll, 17th c. petticoat, our cone farthingale and a golden-hued petticoat.<br />

The collaboration of Period Corsets and Seattle Shakespeare Company was a perfect pairing. Very few Shakespearean plays these days are done in actual Shakespearean clothing, due to its costly materials and time-consuming construction. Luckily this show was an exception. Being about Shakespeare himself and set in his own time, <i>Shakespeare in Love</i> demands Shakespearean costume. Making the costumes was a journey not to be missed. It was an opportunity to work on a show that is set in the era that we costumers love as dearly as we love Shakespeare's plays themselves.<br />

CR Fashion Book is the latest endeavor from former Vogue Paris editor-in-chief, Carine Roitfeld. This large scale fashion magazine covers everything from runway to celebrity and beyond. Peppered throughout this issue are various pieces from Period Corsets including a large array of our corsets and skirt supports.

Among the many fashion-forward style editorials, there was a touch of celebrity style. Showcasing a softer look in our pastel brocades, our corsets were modeled beautifully by Willow Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith. With a feminine and more delicate look, our corsets were a lovely accompaniment to these graceful ladies.<br />

The reoccurring theme for this issue was the ever popular, Queen Marie Antoinette. CR Fashion Book gave us a modern and bold take to this historic fashionista, an icon that continues to inspire today's fashion world. Our 18th century Marie Antoinette corset was the perfect accompaniment to their inspired looks, using our historical shaping but combining the corset with truly modern pairings of denim. Even our <a href="https://www.periodcorsets.com/corsets/1880-alice-corset">c. 1880 Alice</a> took a spin in denim for a truly unique new look.<br />

Beyond the many looks inspired by Marie Antoinette, our pieces went another in direction with some high-fashion bridal looks. Our <a href="https://www.periodcorsets.com/corsets/1860-julia-corset">c. 1860 Julia</a>, a classic hourglass corset, in light blue brocade provided the "something blue" for the willowy bride. Our 18th century <a href="https://www.periodcorsets.com/skirt-supports/pocket-hoop-pannier">pocket hoop pannier</a> also made an appearance, ready to make a statement for that special day.</div>

Since the publication of Issue 9, we have continued to work with the talents at CR Fashion Book. For Issue 11, our classic <a href="https://www.periodcorsets.com/corsets/1770-judith-stays">c.1770 Judith</a> corset was worn by Kim Kardashian West in a recreation of Pamela Anderson's classic Red Carpet look. Kim's look was part of a nostalgic editorial that paid homage to nine iconic celebrity ensembles from the 90's, as modeled by celebrities and models from today.<br />

Masquerade season is upon us and with that comes more opportunities for Period Corsets to create stunning ensembles that are ready to wear for any upcoming ball or party. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For our latest 18th century inspired look, we used an all black and white palette. Black silk, textured taffeta, silk charmeuse and touches of glossy black ribbons came together in a multi-pieced versatile ensemble. To achieve this look, we focused on using ivory with black touches and even created our own fabrics along the way. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Before constructing, we started with a design sketch to map out our final look. Once we have our ideas formed, we source and shop our fabrics and trims. In a case such as this, we started with the fabrics first and then used them to inspired our designs. Sometimes a fabric alone, or even just a piece of trim, can birth a new creation. </div>

For this look, we wanted to add even more visual interest and bring in some additional black elements to compliment the solid black pieces in the ensemble. We added strips of black material to create some beautiful lines that ran vertically down the yardage used on our open front skirt. </div>

Teatro ZinZanni commissioned Period Corsets to construct an interchangeable mix-and-match set consisting of a pannier cage, two skirts and a versatile corset. These would work together to create several different looks. </span></span></span></span></span></div>

This masterpiece was to be a nod to the historic fashions of times past but with a touch of circus fun and a whole lot of bombshell sex appeal.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Christine's vibrant color choices for the complete ensemble brought a bright sunny glow to our often-rainy Seattle studio. The main pieces were crafted from canary yellow satin with sheer gold lining and brilliant touches of turquoise satin and ribbons.

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The full ensemble featured a fully interchangeable design involving multiple mix-and-match pieces. Each piece had to work seamlessly with the others as each was to be used in various segments of the performance; of course with a costume quick-change! Instead of the standard lace-up ties, the corset had a back zipper for quick in and out access. To add to the comfort and movement, the straps were outfitted with hidden elastic. This helped to keep them in place but also move along with Ariana's movements.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"> <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Another clever hidden feature was the use of a steel spoon busk. For this application, we removed the knobs and loops and placed the smoothed busk between two fabric layers at the front of the corset. This addition wasn't just to aid in shaping but to provide a magnetic layer for a separate stomacher piece. The separate stomacher was heavily jeweled with an array of fun rhinestones and decoration applied by the designer's team. As part of the act, Ariana's corset was to be transformed from a lavishly decorated piece to something more subdued and simplified. </span></span><br />

The wonderful peeks of shocking turquoise made for a fabulous contrast to the matching bright yellow open overskirt. The skirt was crafted from yellow satin and lined in glittering gold sheer material. Drawn up on either side with turquoise satin bows, the skirt created something like an open curtain stage ready to highlight its wearer.<br />

With so many amazing layers and bold details, you'd think this outfit couldn't get any more involved, but there was an additional look to be added to this. That's the magic of mix-and-match pieces- by being able to create completely new looks simply changing a detail or a skirt. </div>

The second look for Ariana was pure 50's bombshell. Her corset remained but this time it was paired with an amazing mermaid skirt with nude colored stretch panel inserts at the back sides. </div>

The corset paired beautifully with the slimmer silhouette of this skirt, providing a completely different feel for this second look. The skirt, which was long and flowing, had an impressive back tulip-shaped train with fabulous movement. A more retro, body-conscious look, the skirt hugged all the right curves with a little risqu<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">é</span></span> peek-a-boo back. These fascinating inserts weren't just for looks but yet another clever addition to the design to aid in movement. The stretch of the Powernet molded around her derri<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">é</span></span>re and hips for an extra close fit but also allowed for ease in sitting and dancing. </div>

It's hard to stand out among the many talents and acts on the Teatro ZinZanni stage but, with the addition of our yellow ensembles, Ariana simply shines. Anytime we have the opportunity to work with our local talents at Teatro ZinZanni, and with their designer Christine Joly de Lotbiniere, we pounce on the chance. We know whatever they have in store for us will be a thrilling challenge that we're proud to see on stage. Each design choice, from the removable straps and stomacher to the back-closing zipper, was a custom option desired by our client. Being able to create completely bespoke ensembles based on our client's needs has made our 20 years in business an especially exciting journey! </div>

This past Halloween season brought us many fantastic custom projects for individuals and designers dressing their clients. For our collaboration with designer Todd Thomas, Period Corsets was asked to construct a full ensemble inspired by a historical silhouette. Thomas sent us his design sketch and fabrics to have Period Corsets create a bespoke ensemble worthy of the finest ball.<br />

For this full look, Period Corsets created a bespoke corset made of gold and turquoise brocade, lined in sea foam blue <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">moiré</span></span>. The corset featured straps with hidden elastic for a comfortable fit and to ensure the straps stayed in place during a night of fun.<br />

The matching open overskirt was fashioned out of the same brocade and lining as the corset and was worn over a striped silk under petticoat. Both skirts were worn over our 17th century bum roll made in the matching blue <span style="background-color: white;">moi</span><span style="background-color: white;">r</span><span style="background-color: white;">é. We loved the idea of the unseen underthings being made out of something just as beautiful as the outerwear.</span><br />

All together this four piece outfit created the most lovely shaping. The full look consisted of multiple separate layers that can be used on their own or mixed with other pieces for future outfits. To create the proper shaping of this era, you really need the right under-structure to make it work. The bum roll creates the back shelf-like shape with the skirts draping elegantly over it, achieved by adding pleating into the waistband to allow for that added volume. The corset literally tops off the look resulting in a complete 17th century ensemble.<br />

This corset features an ingenious self-cinching method. By employing the use of two sets of fan lacing slides on either side of the body, the wearing can tighten her own laces without the help of others. The ties are laced through several holes with the other end being attached to straps that can be pulled and locked in place. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Marie Antoinette is big again! Hundreds of years later her influence, and that of the lavish fashions of the later 18th century, are still being felt all over. This was a time of extremes in fashion, with its wide panniers, full skirts, and bust enhancing corsets.</div>

After hearing the needs of many, Period Corsets has designed a new, versatile take on this classic look. Perfect for a fancy ball or party, our <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/502035326/18th-c-gold-costume-ensemble-4-piece-set?ref=shop_home_active_3"><i>modern</i> Marie Antoinette</a> features coordinating, interchangeable layers that can be removed and revealed as you saunter through the crowd. The only thing more fun than wearing a costume is one that can change with you throughout the evening!<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
By adding the convertible overskirt, your look can go from demure to sassy in seconds. The skirt can be worn open to reveal the pretty under-layers by pulling up on either side and tying it up with big ribbon bows. Or tie the skirt closed to hide the inner layers for a more covered, modest look.</div>

A beautifully made corset can be many things to different people- an accessory to empowerment, a way to sculpt and shape, a proper silhouette for historical attire, an actor's tool to enhance their character for the stage. For Dana Thomas, her corset was a celebration of her form and self-being.<br />

Dana came to us searching for a shapely corset for a wonderful event she was attending overseas, the Secret Cinema Moulin Rouge party in London. For this themed event, guests were expected to come in appropriate attire to match their assigned character. Something so unique deserved a truly special corset.<br />

During her fitting, Dana and our team found the perfect style corset to match her needs, our <a href="https://www.periodcorsets.com/corsets/1880-alice-corset">c. 1880 Alice</a> with added straps. Dana brought in her own Chinese brocade fabric, a wonderful find from the depths of a secret stash. We complimented this by adding black satin piping along the top and bottom edges of the corset.<br />

<span style="text-align: left;">Going beyond the needs of a fancy <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">soirée</span></span>, Dana also found use for her corset in a boudoir photo-shoot. The purpose of this very intimate session provided more that just a stunning series of photos, it was a way for Dana to bare her soul as well.

Photographed by Mert Alas and styled by the fabulous Carine Roitfeld, of CR Fashion Book, Fergie looked smashing in our brocade corset. The super feminine lilac pink rose brocade was a great juxtaposition with the harder, sexy thigh-high boots and bomber jacket, showing just how powerful a woman can look when wearing the right armor!<br />

Such a great reveal to finally see our corset on full display! The first teaser photos from this shoot had Fergie looking amazing with impressive cleavage and just the edges of our corset peeking out below a jacket. Period Corsets fans knew what was hiding but most were kept wondering, what's giving her that sexy shape?!<br />

<b>Finding the right material to match your corset</b><br />
So, you've finally chosen your dream corset. The style is what you've been looking for, with all the right curves in the perfect places and all the best details to highlight your natural assets. But there's one more thing to decide. Which fabric?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix7WEX_Ovsk6FoHpuvvWSSDH_bdQEbcUx1eAC-9RFT1KQYFvIZXyjMjH6aRsaLtdxK4h4xfBGkz3ys7zrqHN86a0Vf_L-q1ZcvAM1EwQDCB8nHuKL_M2TO-vTj9tcx2cxPAcwcYJPTVNk/s1600/Period+Corsets+fabric+details.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1245" data-original-width="1600" height="311" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix7WEX_Ovsk6FoHpuvvWSSDH_bdQEbcUx1eAC-9RFT1KQYFvIZXyjMjH6aRsaLtdxK4h4xfBGkz3ys7zrqHN86a0Vf_L-q1ZcvAM1EwQDCB8nHuKL_M2TO-vTj9tcx2cxPAcwcYJPTVNk/s400/Period+Corsets+fabric+details.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
From practical to elegant, finding the right fabric for your corset can be a challenge: a classic cotton coutil for something simple or a pretty satin or brocade for something a little more delicate looking.<br />

At Period Corsets, we love the versatility of our cotton coutils. This authentic corseting fabric was designed just for this purpose with its tight herringbone texture, there is no stretching! It's practical, sturdy and dependable. But what if you want something just a little more elegant-- something that captures that vintage boudoir feel while maintaining the strength and durability needed? The answer is our brocade coutils.<br />

<b>Bespoke with Speed AND Quality</b></div>
At Period Corsets, we have three standing rules- make it quick, make it the highest quality, make it custom. Time and again we have come through for our high-profile clients, whether our pieces are on stage the next day underneath a costume on Broadway, sent across country for immediate filming or flown across seas to appear on the pages of a fashion magazine. Our quick turnaround, precision stitching, and bespoke service is what sets us apart. The competition is fierce in the costuming world, with so many larger companies turning to overseas help. Period Corsets has persevered for 20 years, continuing to handcraft all of our pieces in our Seattle studio with highly trained professionals. We strive to be the best for ALL of our clients whether you're an individual or a celebrity. We have a passion for our art, and it shows in every stitch.Period Corsets®http://www.blogger.com/profile/14946096740718504836noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547148214729352453.post-66191838476598245012017-07-20T16:40:00.000-07:002019-04-03T14:38:08.272-07:00Period Corsets Salon look- 1880s Alice<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

There are so many steps involved when arranging for a large photo shoot. Finding the right photographer and studio, hair, wigs and makeup and,-our favorite part- constructing the ensemble. Before constructing anything though, we must first assemble our research, materials, and notes. Everything is kept in a binder for quick reference to keep it streamlined and organized.</div>

This corset played a part in his recent performance of "After the Funeral", where Moon depicted a mourning Victorian lady for Seattle's On the Boards NW New Works Festival. Waxie wore a 12-layer black Victorian ensemble, created by the talented Mark Mitchell, that goes from post-funeral mourning to striptease.<br />

How do you win a Tony? Include garments from Period Corsets, of course! Our corsets and petticoats were used in four 2017 Tony Award nominated plays and musicals: "Hello, Dolly!", "The Little Foxes," "A Doll's House - Part 2," and "Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812".
