I say dive in and give it a go. :D They are pretty pricey, I paid over $300 for my first really good corset, so making it yourself definitely is worth the savings.Megan Martinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12026149318569869306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7440011596489093932.post-73290489604273208222012-02-27T22:18:16.554-06:002012-02-27T22:18:16.554-06:00One of these days I'm going to try and make a corset. I wear one daily as it makes horrible back pain bareable. They are a bit pricey so it is hard to have an assortment for variety and laundering sake. Yours looks great!

Foam heads haven't let me down so far. :) I do plan to make a head cast in the future to do some sculpting on, but it's not entirely necessary yet.Megan Martinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12026149318569869306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7440011596489093932.post-18167405289396958462012-02-19T17:37:29.360-06:002012-02-19T17:37:29.360-06:00Yeah, I coated it with cooking spray as a release, which worked extremely well, but the place where it cracked didn't have any reinforcement in the cement, so it wasn't as strong as it could have been.

We got it loose and clean. Here's a tip, if you don't know itto loosen the cast, first coat the clay with babyoil as a separater, and then when it's all dry and ready to pull soak the whole thing in boiling hot water, that will soften the clay and may loosen the vacuumQobhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14149399710935356741noreply@blogger.com
