Advice from Nanny Susan

VICTORIAN  CORSETRY REQUIRED
From Serena

Dear Susan,

Just a quick note to say I really liked your site which I found by chance whilst searching for corset infomation. I am very interested in Vicorian Corsetry and training methods so it was great to read the letters and articles on your site.

I was wondering if you knew of any other people interested in re-creating the kind of corset discipline that existed 100 years ago (training corsets, shoulder braces backboards etc?) Also I have found a design for a training corset I would like to get made, so
if you know of a good corsetiere that would be interested in undertaking such a project I would love to know.
Yours sincerely,
 Serena

I would advise that you consult Thomas Lierse at the Long Island Staylace Association. See the 'Links' page for details.

My apologies for the brevity of this month's 'Advice' page. I have not received many questions of late.
