Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Have fun wearing the inside pants, Sparky!
Good luck, P-C! May she really like you, if she's the one.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
I love that she's a band geek.
"This one time? At band camp...?"
P-C - good luck, mate! Wishing you Awesome Wife-ma!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
So, I decided to buy another corset, and UPS tells me it's out for delivery. How fortunate that I'm working at home today.
The store is Timeless Trends, and here's what I know about them: they only make 1 style, an underbust, and it's all OTR, no custom work. Because they make only the 1 style, and because it's all OTR, all their corsets are $99 (except the leather one, which is $139).
In reading through their site, as well as a LOT of different sites where people posted reviews, it sounds like the corsets are fairly well made. they're not lingerie corsets; they're true corsets made with spiral steel stays, a steel busk, and grommets. Also lined.
My major quibble is that there is no modesty panel in the back, or under the busk. But for $99, I can't complain, as long as the rest of the construction is as good as advertised.
The only negative reviews I read pertained to the fit: people who don't have an "hourglass" figure (and I don't mean an exaggerated one; I just mean people who don't have much of a waist-hip differential) didn't like the fit. Which, again, with an OTR corset, that's gonna happen.
So I decided to give it a shot, and see what I think. This is the one I'm getting: [link] Now UPS needs to get here!
t edit Are these as good as custom? Of course not. I don't need to have the corset in my hot little hands to know that. But I don't have the budget for a custom corset right now. And, like I said, with the exception of not having modesty panels, they sound like they're pretty well-made. We'll see.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
That's an awesome-looking corset, Tep! I hope it fits like a, well, like a corset.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh my gosh, Tep, they've got gorgeous designs! And they look very nicely, solidly constructed. Yours looks terrific (and can't beat the price). Please to report as soon as it arrives!
I think I'm in love with this one.
