A Shopping Challenge for anyone who's bored!

29 Apr 2006

Right, I'm enlisting the help of you lot biggrin

, especially the Midlands posse
I'm after a corset and cant find one lol

I've been on ebay, fairy goth mother, Snobz and H&A, Vollers and all the usual suspects.... but, with a delivery time of up to 10 weeks or prices over Â£200 I'm getting a bit stressed here! So, anyone fancy being my personal shopper??? :lol:
Here's what I'm after (not that I'm specific or anything :lol: )
I'm a size 20 and already have the hourglass curves but want something that will accentuate them more (cos I havent got the time or willpower to crash diet :lol: )must be steel busk & boned, back tightlacing, any fabric but not leather as I dont have time to break it in, a very good brocade would be nice.... any colour but preferably black or red :lol: ... and it must be 'longer length'.
and here's what I dont want ..... :lol: no lacey frills and fancy bits, no pvc, no mad patterns or in ya face artwork, and no attatched suspenders. It has to be a proper corset, not one that looks like underwear wink

I'm willing to spend Â£100 (but preferably less) have seen some gorgeous ones on an Ebay shop for less than that, but I want it now, not in 10 weeks time :roll: I'm not working durng the day so can travel to buy in person, but i need it THIS week! :shock:
so, anyone within a ....30 - 40ish mile radius of Derby.... know of any little shops.....obscure markets....somewhere that sells off samples.... great aunt matilda who can make me one.....anything.... I shall be eternally grateful worship

Ninja, you aint impressing me with your rat on a lead impression, I've set you a challenge, can you rise to it, or not? :twisted:

29 Apr 2006

women never cease to amaze me - Â£100 on a corset!!!
Â£100 = 40 pints of Guinness (50 in wutherspoons)
Â£100 = 30 bottles of red wine
Â£100 = 10 lap dances
Â£100 = 5 nights out in Chams
Priorities..for gods sake!!!!!!

29 Apr 2006

RWL, I'm being a cheapskate at Â£100!!
the one's I really like are upwards of Â£225 :shock: but there's no way I can justify spending that on one item of clothing that i'll probably wear once! lol

and I dont drink Guinness wink

29 Apr 2006

alright then, Blokies have to find me one for a very reasonable cost of under Â£50, and I'll buy you a pint out of whats left! lol

29 Apr 2006

Hey Dark,
You could always go au naturel and buy drinks for everyone with the money that you saved ......................

Had a flick through my back issues of skintwo but all the corstery seems to be leather, shame it's urgent, the erotica show is the best place to go (earls court november)
I'm assuming you've tried the obvious, fleebay, google etc. Sorry can't be any more help but if anything springs to mind I'll let you know.

what size waist you looking for ??? dorsets are based on waist sizes not dress sizes I'm afraid ( have about 8 myself!) and trust me you WONT wear it just once.. Have a . Although most places say they take 6-10 weeks to shop they usually dont. Theres also a place in Preston called elysium that do them. I@ll try and find you the web link x
Speaking from experience Id stick to vollers too... just an opinion and I'm sure others would disagree but theyre worth every last single penny xx I got my mate one off Ebay in a 32" waist that fits waists of up to 36-38 depending on how "fleshy" your waist is and how tight you like to lace it. They say 2 inches off for a first time wearer but the bigger the waist you have the more you can take off. I manage a 5 inch reduction.

There's a shop called Void in Hockley in Nottinham City Centre, have a good range of corsets.
I have just bought a black satin one made by snobz (they also have vollers ones which are identical), was Â£99 with steel bones and busk and tightlacing. Its a long length one, i'm a size 18, it's a 34inch in size (i think void class it as size 6 in their sizing). it's really well made and does the job!
They have em in a few different colours, red, black, purple and blue i think.
Hope this helps,
Mrs H xxxxx
