I just finished making myself a tartan corset (minus it's modesty panel so far cause I want to wear it out tonight). I'm thinking about using it for a Nana cosplay so I figured this category was best.

My apologies for the picture quality, I should be doing a photoshoot soon with a friend of mine for a couple of my corsets.

Hope you like it. (It's not done up tightly in these pictures either...)

That is gorgeous. I saw it in your DA nearly finished and wondered what the straps were for, but now I can see and it really looks great!!

That's pretty nice Kimi, but I must admit when I read "Nana Cosplay" I expected slippers, a bathrobe and maybe a lap blanket.
To protect the world from devastation... R

LMFAO....

Well you are coming to AVCon Merrick, so make sure you check out Nana the anime. It will hopefully be playing in the "rock" cinema at some stage.

<- The girly airhead : The punk rocker ->
It's a shoujo anime/manga about two girls named NANA from different walks of life.
I'd love to see some NANA cosplays... I'm probably going to cosplay as Ren someday (See avatar).
I have a Vivianne Westwood armour ring now!!!

Thanks. I'm trying to find a good goth/punk lolita skirt to go with it. So far I'm thinking this one:

If my memory serves me well, that skirt looks a lot like the one NANA wears in one of the early concerts in the anime series. It will look great!

I was aiming at showing various parts of the clothing and jewellery in my avatar (Note: Ren is the guy).

Depends when you want it by XD Technically I'm not taking any commissions at the moment because I overloaded myself in the last couple of months and now I want to stab every corset I see, but if you don't need it within the next six weeks then that should be okay.

Prices start at $200 for a 12 panel, steel boned, cotton corset. The prices varies for fabrics and trims and nifty weird buckles and so on. I also ask for two fittings after the initial measurements are taken.

If you're interested perhaps PM me or email me and I can give you more details and discuss the kind of thing you're after.
