I have wanted for some time to create a new style of corset that is made just for the sweaty hard work of dancing in Fezziwigs all day at the Dickens Christmas Fair. This is actually my 3rd attempt at specialized corset and the first one Im truly happy with. I have sacrificed only the waist tape and in exchange I have made a corset the weights half of what a corset normally weights and is 100% cotton so although I have no scientific method for measuring, it should breath twice as well as a regular corset. I havnt taken it to fair yet, but thus far, its a joy to wear. Its not the best corset for acrobatics, tight lacing or significant body alterations due to the lack of a waist tape but I feel I have reached a new level in practical, long wearing corsets with this new style.
