Pulling Fantasy into Reality - 3 questions to ask when creating that awesome stage costume

1. How long does it take to create - with time being of the essence when putting on that show, you really want to know how long it will take to bring your fantasy costume to life. 
2. Can it be changed -  when it comes to stage production (or any show for that matter) you always need to prepare for the next drama, you never know when your diva will take a dive or just walk out.  You need to know that the fantasy costume can be altered to fix the next starlet. 
3. Does it support the character  - I have heard many actors comment that they had no idea how to play their character until they put on the costume.  

Creating fantasy costumes is like delving into the world of dreams and pulling them into reality.....

A Steel Boned Corset - Your True Best Friend

A Steel Boned Corset is a true best friend you can always count on for support and confidence.  

Ladies do you have trouble finding your size..? 

For many shopping is depressing.!, it was for me…... before I learnt the Historical Art of Re Shaping and I would like to share it with you.

I started learning about this ingenious technique of corset making over twenty years ago and through trial error and some creativity I realised I could transform people’s confidence by reshaping their figure.

I knew then this is where I wanted to be; this path would be my life long journey I love the challenge of each individual customer.

Every day is different and exhilarating I have the best job ever I get to make people feel good…. It’s easy really, all they have to do is try on a properly fitted Steel Boned Corset lace them up then watch as they drop two dress sizes and you will always see that little smile on the side of their faces as they look into the mirror.

Women have always prided themselves on there appearance and a properly fitted corset helps to create an instant positive body image by gently supporting our breasts without the use of straps and with a strong firm embrace supports our tummy and back then firmly creating an irresistible hour glass waist.
