I've been looking at the corsets and teddys out there-- many of which I have downloaded or purchased-- and thought they would make excellent tops for ballgowns or period gowns for that matter. The problem is, we have no long or full skirts. So this is a temporary workaround I've tried with Styxx's really fine ballgown. Because of the drop waist and high sided teddy's, there's need for a bit of post-- but I smudged about two times, that's all. This is Robert Sharkey's corset 2 on top. Emily
