Exciting Announcement

Dear Friends of Period Corsets,

We are pleased to announce, as of August 1st, 2012, Hilary Specht Coffey is the new owner of Period Corsets. After 17 years in business, Susan Davis and Becky Kaufman are excited to be passing the torch to Hilary. For the past 12 years, Hilary has been an integral part of the company's leadership and growth.

Period Corsets began in 1997 with two corset styles, and since then has created 36 different products, and innumerable custom garments.   With the business at an all-time high and our desire to invest our time in other ventures, Period Corsets® is ripe to continue thriving with Hilary at the helm; we look forward to seeing what new places Hilary takes the business.

While Hilary will be taking ownership of the company, the current staff will remain the same and Becky and Susan will continue to consult with Period Corsets®.  We are excited that Period Corsets’ tradition of providing quality workmanship, innovation and superior customer service will continue into the future.

Thank you to everyone, all our Period Corsets® customers and vendors who have supported us all these years. We are only here because of you.

Sincerely,

Becky Kaufman and Susan Davis
