More clicky-links of coveting, and a Goth at the Office photo.

Candy striped corset! (clicky-link!) I'm picturing it worn with a frilly, high-collared blouse in black, and a very ruffly skirt. And possibly this necklace:



Zombie girl and doll necklace!(clicky-link!) No, I'm not joking. Yes, I like that, and would wear it a lot.

And now, the Goth at the Office photo! Thanks, Maura!



Hmmm. In retrospect, I do not like this lipstick today. Good thing I have two other, slightly different colors in my purse, huh?

Nice shape corset. I wouldn't wear the pink but would be lovely on you.

I am seriously thinking of getting some corsets as my back is so weak it hurts for me to sit in a chair for more than ten minutes. Having some support might reduce the pain, and mean I could maybe go out with friends to places that don't have reclining chairs.

It sounds like some sort of back supporting-corset would be good for you. It also sounds like you'd want to get a custom-fitted one, to make sure it gave you the support you need.

Is the waistcoat new? And are there any more of it available out in the world? ;)

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

The waistcoat is one-of-a-kind. I made it from a longer waistcoat/tunic thing that I found at VV a few months ago. Sorry! :)

[icprncs.livejournal.com]

I figured, but hope springs eternal so I had to ask.

I'll just take comfort in my OOAK Edwardian hat... :P

The arm hanging from the necklace looks too much like a tampon. Could have been done better, IMO.

(Apparently I have my critical hat on today. Hmm...)

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Thank you! There was one tiny thing bothering me about the necklace, but I couldn't figure out what. Because I really do like the idea of the necklace (especially with the dangling doll arm!), but yeah. It probably could be done better.

I saw this and it made me think of you (in a good way)

Oh, that's adorable!

[gloomsan.livejournal.com]

I thought you might like it :)

I could make you a better necklace...lets talk when I get back into town..not asking for you to pay me..it would be fun to make.

Me thinks I need some actual corsets for the supporting of the back, me thinks I shall save up for them!

Your skirt looks extra poofy in that picture!

Background elbow is elbow-y...

In regards to the actual point of this entry, I think the big, black bow absolutely makes that corset. Super pretty.

ooooh i like that skirt! where is it from?

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

It's 2 different skirts: I made the underskirt (it's a basic 4-panel ruffled skirt), and the bustle-y overskirt is a thrift store find I customized.

You know - we could make you some custom pendants with my madd ice resin skillz! (Okay my developing ice resin skillz) - and while I can see what you like about that necklace, I have to agree the arm at the bottom threw me off too and I agree it's because it looks like a tampon. Maybe a bloody severed head would be better. Still - I love the creative people who make things like that and if you contact them they might be willing to change it out for you or do a custom version...

I agree..Many thanks to Maura - these hallway backdrops are WAY nicer than the bathrooms, and as an added bonus, we get to see you head to toe. I think I agree about the lipstick too.
OMG! that corset is totally yummy! I could never in a million years wear the darn thing, but it is quite lovely to gaze upon.
I hope you are feeling better - I too have had the sinus migraine thing going on here. One day the pressure will drop fast & my head will explode, I just know it.
Have a great day Jillie!
