Hey everyone my name is Shivon, I'm new here I've just finally gotten the hang of Lj so I'm joining every community that seems interesting to me. This is one of the ones I found. I wanna post some pictures of myself up but it's far to late and my eyes are far to red for all that. So I'm gonna post them up later I just wanted to post so I'm not a damn lurker in every aspect of my life. Oh yeah if any of you guys sew I think you'd be interested in a pattern I just posted up for sale on ebay. It's a Simplicity Pattern for three Renaissance dress. This is my first time selling on ebay so I'm excited. Speaking of which. I went to a ren fest today. Lemme tell you it was my first time going to one and it was really cool I saw awesome costumes. I wish I could sew. Hence the reason I'm selling the pattern it's in my hosue doing absolutely nothing. I have no Egl friends so.....My only regret about the fair is not having my digital camera, my cousin had it. So I'm gonna go back and get pics for all of the groups. Plus I wanna buy some really cool stuff I saw there. Well I don't want this small introduction to end up being to long. So I' gone I'll be back fors sure though.
Cross Posted all over the place...I aplogize in advance.

A corset is laced up the back.

Notice how the poor girl's boobs are squished up against her chest? And the laces are making a bow in the middle, as opposed to the top.

On a BODICE, you do lace up the front. And you have the bow at the top (or bottom. But way, way rarely.)

A "cincher" would be about ten inches smaller than the corset in the icon. Cinchers don't cover breasts.

It IS a corset. And it's backwards.

And the fact that it's not you is even worse.

No, it's not (http://www.absolutecorsets.com/under-bust/pvc/j-11-black-ribbon.htm). If you look at the original images, what appears to be lacing is merely additional decorative ribbon. The stays are at the back of the corset, as is typical.

The big deal is that most of us are led to believe that this is a fashion community, right?

While heavy-handed, that was a fashion tip.

It's a too-common misconception. Hopefully if there's enough stern correction, the mistake will slowly start to disappear.

Yeah well did you stop to think that you might be wrong aswell, sorry but I've been to fashion shows with corsets being paraded & have seen some with different types of lacing in different places or as the case may be the corset in this pic might be purposely worn that way for the picture!!! I honestly don't know why you felt the need to say this here, you may think you are right but you possibly could not be, so why bother at all...

I'm sorry but the way you said it came accross as rude to me, sorry if that was not your intention but nevertheless thats the way it seemed! She was merely introducing herself & while the post may not be completely appropriate to this community, she is new & we can give a little leway on that account! But anyway deviating, the point is why say anything if you have nothing nice to say & what you said is merely your opinion not a fact...

Your right, none of this has anything to do with the post but more with the statement that was initially made about her Icon, personally I thought it was a bit harsh & felt the need to point that out! Its not really feuding I don't think, more of a debate of opinions & such... Oh well! ^.^

who cares

From: [identity profile] penguinpants1.livejournal.com
who cares?? its just a stupid icon !!! if the person who was the model in the picture wanted it to never be used she should have never put it on the web! then later if she wants she (as in herself) can make a big deal about it!

you went totally wild on a poor new member who did absolutely nothing wrong to you! people should start minding there own business!

so what a corset is a corset, you can wear what you want how you want and when you want and where you want! you should do your own research before you go ballistic on someone you dont know, because it could be the same case as pantheria (sorry if i butchered your name^^) where the icon was specially made for her!

next time mind your own business and be happy for a new member, not like a a ignorant pretend to be know-it-all

Fashion

This is a fashion forum, right?

And fashion was brought on by trendsetters, right?

So what's the big deal if someone takes a traditional item and changes it to create an "inspired by" item?

A front lacing corset is not different than taking fishnets and wearing them on your arms or torso. They weren't originally intended for that use either.
