(via Teal and Red Highbacked corset by Cuddlyparrot on deviantART) "The musculature of a aerialist presents an interesting challenge to the corsetiere. In this piece we decided to accentuate rather than diminish her powerful shoulders by encasing them in a high, strapped back. This underbust corset is fit perfectly under her bustline While the overall panel shaping is Edwardian-inspired, with silk-satin piping meeting at a four-way intersection at the hip, the back is truly unique, accentuating a tiny waist and arcing gracefully up to the nape of the neck. The angled triangular shoulder straps provide nearly a halter-style shaping in the front. This corset can be worn with a blouse underneath, or with the matching pair of pasties. I suggested one red heart & one spade in teal as a set of pasties to wear with a black ruff with teal beading. My client plans on adding rhinestones to this piece for a burlesque act."

"An 18th-19th-century hybrid corset feature more of a flat-front and conical upper into a Victorian-shaped (un-tabbed) bottom. Boned on the seams with spiral steel and throughout the panels with reed. 18th-century-style buckles fasten the cross-back straps at the shoulder fronts, and the back is spiral-laced over a shaped back panel. Custom-dyed silk satin ribbon matches the deep red silk taffeta."
