About 8 years ago. I'd always wanted one of my own - one of the really high end ones, and couldn't afford one. So I bought a pattern, made one up, and fell in love with it. I knew right then that's what I wanted to do with the rest of my life!

New Standard Sized Corsets on Etsy
While I work on getting the new SugarKittyCorsets.com up and running, I have introduced my full line of standard sized corsets in my Etsy shop. From now on, all standard corsets will be available exclusively on Etsy.
To clarify, a standard sized corset features sizing that is similar to S, M, L. I have created this line in an effort to create a wider audience for those who want to own a beautiful custom corset, but have a smaller budget. Standard size corsets are available in waist sizes from 20-30". You order the corset 3-5" smaller than your natural waist size, and for some overbust corsets, you'll provide your bust and hip measurements as well.
All corsets are still made-to-order, with the same level of care and quality as fully custom corsets. Currently, silk dupioni is the only fabric option available in the Etsy listings, HOWEVER, any fabric request can be accomodated (an additional charge MAY be incurred). Additionally, fully custom corsets will still be available by request (and special order).

Purple Satin Burlesque Costume
I made this 10-piece burlesque outfit for my trade model. It's all I've been working for almost a month now, and while I'm happy with how it turned out, I am SOOOOOOO glad to be finished with it!
I will post photos from her photoshoot as I get them in. I will also be listing many of the individual pieces in my Etsy shop...a good way to launch my new burlesque collection.
The individual pieces I created were:
-Underbust corset with custom hotfix rhinestones
-Ruched skirt with pickups (the ruffled lining is attached)
-Basic two-tier bustle that ties at the waist
-Bloomers
-Side-tie panties with fringe
-Neckpiece and wrist cuffs (mostly decorative to match the outfit - I will probably come up with different designs for my Etsy shop)
-Flocked satin pasties
-Ruffled bra (My first attempt at bra making! I think it will go a lot smoother now that I know all the problem areas that come up. I'm still pretty pleased with the effort)
-Fancy fabric-covered garters with bows
-Fascinator with feathers
I had a REALLY hard time photographing the purple satin with any accuracy. The color was so rich and deep, the fluorescent lighting in my studio did absolutely no justice to it. For example, the purple feathers on the fascinator match the purple satin almost perfectly. And the hotfix rhinestones don't look pink in real life, they're a lighter shade of purple. I'm hoping the professional photos will capture the actual color a little better...
