Steel spiral bonin...Oh! I'm into both topics! <br /><br />Steel spiral boning is amazing - it's supportive, flexes in all directions and goes back into shape after wearing. So, it moves with you, how you bend - no being stabbed in the ribs or any soft places by distorted plastic. I used it for the first time last summer in a bodiced jumpsuit and have sworn off all else. So, I hope you like working with it and wearing it! It was easier than I expected. <br /><br />As for the lingerie, well, sometimes a gal just needs to get her Jessica Rabbit on, amiright? And it's fun to try a new silhouette. ;-)Cliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05552253628640209694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-34280816050709657632012-02-22T10:04:24.583-05:002012-02-22T10:04:24.583-05:00Well, it sounds like it's fun to wear even if ...Well, it sounds like it's fun to wear even if it's a bit outside your usual comfort zone. And the Ginger skirt plans sound FUN! :) Good luck with figuring out the shipping... I think I know which store you ordered from, but I haven't ordered yet myself (although I do drool over the website regularly)<br /><br />@CGCouture, if what makes the boning uncomfortable is that the plastic goes out of shape, spring steel might be better. Not that I have much experience with either ;). If the garment itself is the right shape/fit, it shouldn't be uncomfortable (well, unless you go crazy tight-lacing, but I suspect that's not what we're talking about...)Tanit-Isishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15824217102632813598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-37071601538409608112012-02-22T08:28:41.129-05:002012-02-22T08:28:41.129-05:00I ordered a slew of bras from brastop yesterday (b...I ordered a slew of bras from brastop yesterday (by slew I mean like 5), and I'm hoping that all of them put my tits up under my chin.... ;-)<br /><br />As for boning, I have too much of a sway back for it to be comfortable. I ruin the plastic boning within an hour, and then it just hurts. I'm scared to try steel, because I'm just not sure what will happen. Good luck with your skirt though, I think the end result will be awesome. :-)CGCouturehttp://countrygirlcouture.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-16612079434359449192012-02-22T08:14:40.637-05:002012-02-22T08:14:40.637-05:00I for one am interested in both topics!

I ended up spending over €200! but it was unbelievable value- 4 bras and 2 pairs of matching pants for each.In my book that's a great deal! I'm really enjoying the lingerie articles you've written over past few months, its one of my favourite topics. Good underwear makes every outfit. I was for years being wrongly sized as a 36b when in fact i was 32e, I don't think it's over the top to say that the right bra can change your life for the better. It give me confidence and comfort.
