I recently had the amazing honor of working with a company called Damsel in This Dress,Who makes Gorgeous Corsets,Blouses,Skirts,Hats & Neck Ruffles.The owner is a Fun loving geeky woman named Michelle,All of her products are made from her Original designs she has been working on Corsets for Years,Lover her corsets but want a different color or a Hood added? Just ask her & she is happy to add it on for you.Here is a little bit of information from her site "Designed from Her own signature patterns,Made with sturdy upholstery weight fabric,which is also used for the lining.Double stitched with upholstery thread with a tensile strength of 8 lbs.Rigid at the front openings with her signature, rubber-dipped fiberglass boning. which is Boned throughout the bodice with double-thickness European Spring Steel.They are Professionally set with wide double-sided brass grommets.All corsets Designed for women's bodies!!!"
For my review I received A Black Corset like the corset above,along with a Black matching Red Ridding Hood Hood & a Peasant top.Talking with the owner about how to take my measurements was extremely easy the owner is easy going,easy to get along with & super kind.As many of you know from previous posts over the year I have been working out & eating better to help me lose the small Belly I have 'collected' over the last year or so I have been successfully loosing weight so when I was told to measure myself for the measurements on the corset I sucked in my belly to my Goal 'Size' & sent those measurements to her,She actually sent a corset slightly smaller in size but I didn't find that out until after I tried it on.When the package arrived from Damsel in This Dress I was very excited to get the box open to reveal my new corset that I couldn't wait to show off to my friends & family,Even though this is my prize for losing my goal weight amount I had to try it on right away much to my surprise it fits amazingly.Since Michelle makes front lacing corsets they are easy to lace & tie without needing any help from someone else,Along with my corset I received on of her New Magazines which shows photos of her work,Frequently asked Q & A's,& much more in the magazine she explains that she does not like making/will not make back lacing corsets because they are hard to lace yourself & because it causes a Roll of skin/fat to gather in the middle of your back which is very uncomfortable talking with a friend of a friend who owns a back lacing corset she says it is very true that they are uncomfortable because of that small issues & the fact she needs her room mates help to lace/unlace her corset.My corset was super easy to lace up & tie myself if you lace it from Top to bottom it helps push any problem areas you have lower & helps 'Tighten' them in so that they do not show since Michelle makes corsets that have a longer side/length than normal corsets it also helps hide any love handles you may have.She can make corsets in any size though prices may vary depending on the design,fabric,details & size you want.She also makes matching skirts in her shop,Though she has literally made thousands of sales & sold hundreds of corsets & skirts I found out that it is ONLY her,Her husband & her best friend who produces all of the products they sell making it to where each & every order really is handled with love & care from the creators. As for Jewelry I plan on wearing one of my Hand made Chain Maille Necklaces with my new Corset from Damsel in This Dress.
I was very surprised how fast my corset was made & shipped to me it was way above my expectations,As noted above earlier even though I am not at my goal weight yet the corset works wonders easy to put on easy to lace & makes me look like I am already at my goal weight,I have never owned a real corset before so I was very happy to find out that it is very easy to breath,Sit & maneuver in the corset.I know most only wear corsets for special occasions such as parties,Halloween,Weddings ect but I also plan on wearing this out & about,I also plan on wearing it to concerts I go to so I plan on buying fun colored shirts to go under my corset so I can mix & match.Michelle makes matching skirts for her Corsets but I also found that these corsets look great with any thing fancy skirts,regular skirts,Jeans or even shorts depending on how you like to dress.I have a feeling that all my extra cash will go towards saving up for another corset,Michelle has an amazing Pirate Coat I have been keeping my eye on that I hope to one day be able to buy & wear.Her corsets & Skits aren't the only thing worth buying in her shop,If you want a chance to know Michelle better,See more of her past work & more I suggest buying her Magazine it has everything I mentioned above & it also has How to guides for two different crafting projects how spiffy is that? they also come with coupons for her stores. I know that this is a very long review but I absolutely love Damsel in This Dress & can't stress enough how well built & gorgeous the corsets are I know that my corset will last for years to come,I have shown it to many friends & family who are now fans & drooling over all of her amazing corsets & skirts.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used. The opinions are solely my own and may vary from others.Products were Provided by Damsel in This Dress for the Review & Giveaway****
If you would like to visit all of Damsel in This Dress sites that they run you can visit their Main website which has links to their Etsy,Artfire & Ebay pages.If you keep an eye on the Damsel in This Dress facebook page Michelle will be running a contest in January which is a Deigning contest she will be asking fans to come up with designs they would like to see her make & sell the Winning design will win one customized to fit them,Even if you can't draw perfectly it would be a fun contest to participate in.
PRIZE ALERT:
Please Note: The prize does NOT come with a skirt or a blouse this is for the Corset only.

Also, I want to win because women look amazing in her corsets, and I work at the Maryland Renaissance Festival so I not only get a TON of use out of them, but I get to pimp her work!
I had the pleasure of meeting Michelle at the Sonora Celtic Festival several years ago and trying on one of her fantastic corsets. Ever since I have been trying to save enough to buy one. Seems like every time I get close, something happens and the money goes to some other essential item. It would be such a pick me up after the last few years of drama!

I want to win this giveaway because I've been a fan of DitD's products for at least 4 years now. Ever since I first saw her at the Portland Pirate Festival. My first corset was a blue striped wench corset and I've been wearing it for years. Now that I've lost some weight and gotten older that poor thing is just an inch smaller than my natural waist. She still looks good but I need something smaller. If I win this new corset will be part of my everyday wardrobe AND part of my stage costume for Scientists Say... a Rockband band that plays once a week at Ground Kontrol in downtown Portland. (Keep Portland Weird Baby)

I want a damsel in this dress bodice because I am a ren faire and costuming junkie that spends half my life being someone else and damsel's bodices are some of the best transformation tools I have ever seen.
I love Damsel in this Dress! I've gotten to purchase from her several times before and every time she is so friendly and amazing it blows me away! She always writes back quickly to you when you post something on her facebook page and her blog is hilarious! I've followed her for almost 7 years now and I love love love her! Thank you for doing this reveiw and spreading the word for DitD! Keep up the awesome work!

My husband gave me one of her corsets for Christmas, and I wore it for the rest of the day. We visit different Renaissance Fairs in our areas and I would love to sport her corsets again and again.
Thank you for this opportunity to win one of these beautiful corsets,

I really love her steampunk stuff, the skirts, the jackets, accessories everything! Steampunk is my hobby and that's why I want another of her beautiful corsets to make me feel uber sexy! Saying uber probably isn't sexy but then I'm not wearing a corset! I think I should have 11 entrys so far, I'll try for more!
