HARNESS AND CORSET PHOTOSHOOT WITH GRACE ELKIN PHOTOGRAPHY

Toward the end of last year I spent an afternoon photographing a collection of pieces for my SHOP and ETSY store. I posted a behind the scenes sneak peak blog post of the shoot here.

All the harnesses are made from luxury satin strap elastic sourced in the UK and feature metal hardware. An option of black silver of gold is usually available on most styles. Twilight Siren makes everything to size order thus catering to all sizes including plus size and fuller chest.

All the product information and links can be found with the images. I really hope you enjoy this series.

WINTER IS COMING…

Its been a very exciting and busy time at the TS Studio! At the moment amonst customer orders I am currently in the process of designing my website which I aim to launch very soon. A  full blog post to follow at a later date. So, I’ve been a little slow on updating my blog with some of my most recent corset projects.  I’ve a few others sat in the pattern development stage I’m itching the finish.

 The first was based on the cincher pattern as seen a couple of times now throughout the blog. Im trying to utilise materials sat in my fabric stash for samples before buying anymore! For this corset I used the familiar mesh with a red taffeta for the main panels and bone casings. I do intend at some point to make up this pattern in a solid colour probably decorated with some lace applique.

The sample measure 22″ waist and can be purchased through the Etsy store.

The second corset using some left over gold silk from a previous customer order was based upon the Vellamo pattern. I tweaked the pattern slightly reducing the waist by approximately an inch. 

I used a different method of construction to the previous sample. I joined the seams wrong sides together and covered them with an external silk bone channel. Feeling totally out of my comfort zone in terms of colour I matched the gold silk with gold hardware (grommets and busk).

This sample can also be purchased from the Etsy store measuring a 20″ waist.

AUTUMN IS HERE…

Over the last month I’ve been working on a couple of custom orders. It’s so lovely when a client has a vision I can bring to life.

My first request was to make up CB11- the mini corset belt in white satin back coutil and white transparent mesh finished with silver hardware. This style has since been added to the Etsy store.

My second custom order ‘Janelle’ was also a development from the CB11 pattern. The client sent me some inspirational pictures of a mask bought for an event and whom wanted a corset to go with. 

After some back and forth discussion regarding colour choice we went for a gold silk for the centre front and back panels, vertical bone channels and bias binding.

The client had also requested some horizontal bands in a slightly different gold tone. I made these using a tape maker and top stitched them over the mesh before applying the bone chanels. I omitted the waist tape from this style.To allow for a slightly bigger gap between each band I added approximately 1cm to both the upper and lower edges. I used a slightly longer busk and the corset was finished with 8 sets of eyelets.

I’m so pleased with how this corset turned out I have added it as made to order item on the Etsy store.

BEHIND THE SCENES: SHOOTING WITH GRACE ELKIN PHOTOGRAPHY

A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of spending an afternoon with Grace Elkin Photography shooting lots of harnesses and corsets for the Etsy store. 

All our items are made to size order using luxury materials and components 

Here are a selection of shots I took behind the scenes. I can’t wait to show you the final images.

WASPIE DEVELOPMENT

Developed for a customer order, this simple yet sophisticated black underbust style corset is constructed from 14 panels (7 per side) of satin backed coutil with a coutil strength layer for added durability.

Trialling a new construction method the corset features bone casings made with a tape maker and applied to the inside, pushing the seam allowance toward the back. One side stitched down to the seam allowance to hold in place before topstitching.

Facings used for centre front and centre back panels with front modesty panel behind the busk. 10 sets of eyelets at the back for lacing.

Hopefully adding this style to the store soon.
