VOLUSPA: BUSKLESS UNDERBUST CORSET WASPIE

The VOLUSPA pattern was inspired by the cut of the riding/sports corsets C1900, short in length and finishing high over the hip.

The corset is constructed from 13 panels and measures a 20″ corset waist. I chose to make this sample buskless using a single centre front panel to hold 6 flat steels in stitched channels to compress to the stomach. The corset features a further 16 bones; a combination of flexi spiral steels and flat steels either side of the eyelets. I chose a slate grey silk backed with coutil and constructed the corset with external bone casings of the same silk.

The corset was decorated with hand cut couture embellished lace applique with conical stud detail.

The corset sample is available to purchase from the Etsy store and the style can also be made to order plain or decorated from our shop.

ALTERNATIVE SIN CATWALK EVENT: FASHION SHOW AT ‘THE STATION’ BRISTOL

HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone and welcome to 2018! Twilight Siren kicked off the year last weekend with their first fashion show ‘The Alternative Sin Catwalk’  held at ‘The Station’ in Bristol. The event showcased lots of independent alternative brands from all over the UK.

Twilight Siren provided a collection of 4 outfits for the show – some of our favourite harness pieces all available to buy from our web store. Every piece is made to size order so Twilight Siren takes pride in being able to cater for everyone!

Hope you enjoy some of the photos from the event. I had a wonderful day meeting lots of creatives; designers, models, photographers alike. Hopefully this is the first of many events for the brand in 2018.

INTO THE WOODS: BEHIND THE SCENES

Over the weekend I had the pleasure to collaborate with some of my favourite creatives shooting a few of the one off harness designs currently available in the Etsy store. 

We were a little unsure on how the weather would play out for the afternoon so decided to shoot a couple of sets indoors before heading out to Swithland Woods (Leicestershire).

The weather held out for us thankfully- just a little chilly!! But we were able to get a few sets using some of the delicate lace harness styles with the woodland backdrop for a whimsical faerie like aesthetic. 

I’m really excited to see the outcome from the shoot and share the images with you all.
