A Message from Simone

Please, Sir… more EXQUISITE RESTRAINT!

March 12, 2010 – 12:25 pm

I’m pleased and elated to see my corset on a lovely model on the cover of “Please, Sir,” from Cleis Press, due out in May, 2010.

"Please, Sir" book cover

This magic was created by my homegirl, photographer Christine Kessler, and she found out from me, via Facebook, that they went with that photo. She’s supplied a few photos to Cleis Press. Needless to say, I’m a fangirl of Cleis Press and Rachel Kramer Bussell, so this makes me very happy.

I think this is another shot from the same photo shoot. I’m very familiar with the setting… it was a loft where Scar 13 used to live, and she was the hot decorator of the place.

So where’s the corset now?

Emerald Beauty in time for St. Paddy’s Burlesque celebrations

March 11, 2010 – 4:01 pm

The Leprechauns got this one done just in time!

Green Overbust, St. Patrick's 2010

It’s available in my Etsy store, www.exrezcorsets.etsy.com

I’ve listed very expensive expedited/rush shipping so you can get it in time for March 17th. I will return the shipping to normal after midnight this Saturday if no one buys this baby.

It has a 23 inch waist, which means you should have about 26 inch waist.
The bust ranges from 34B to a healthy 34C… you may love it with a bra and pasties.
The front is 16 inches long, which means it may cover a bit more mufty… which is wonderful for your big tease on March 17th!

If you are hankering for this, and want to bypass logging in to Etsy, OR, you don’t need expedited shipping, just CONTACT ME here at Exquisite Restraint.

October 22, 2009 – 10:52 pm

This is a little experiment… heehee!

Exquisite Restraint does a bit more than just corsets… but no one knows that unless we tell you.

Let’s see if these great pics of Naughty Maggie Simpson get out there!

Bondage Ball Maggie Simpson

I’m miffed that after 2 years she doesn’t show up in any searches, especially now that Marge has been on the cover of Playboy!
Here’s Naughty Maggie Simpson with fetish model Emily Marilyn at Halloween Bondage Ball 2007… no, they didn’t call each other up to see what the other was wearing!

Maggie Simpson and Emily Marilyn

Have the best Halloween, and I’ll try to post more soon!

So you want to get a CORSET?

July 31, 2009 – 1:52 pm

I make some of the most unique, creative corsets…but they are also funtionally strong and most are suitable for tight-lacing.

My corsets appeal to those who want a unique fashion item, and those who are tight-lacing in order to train their waist.

If you need to be custom fitted, or want info on sizing, just let me know.

Reach me through any e-mail contact on this website or write directly to Simone@exquisiterestraint.com

I have much success with communicating through e-mail and helping people with measurements.

If you happen to be in southern California, we can set up an appointment for a custom fitted corset!

Find more of my work here in my very active MySpace profile…….. www.myspace.com/amoeba_jane

and samples for sale at drop-dead prices in my Etsy store….. www.exrezcorsets.etsy.com

Stay Beautiful,

Corsets Saturday… and still time to go out afterward!

June 18, 2009 – 2:43 pm

If you love corsets, or just discovered them, I am giving a presentation next weekend at Threshold Dungeon in North Hollywood, California.

I know a corset is a huge investment. If you live in Southern California and have been thinking about ordering one, now is your chance to meet me and see some of my work firsthand.
You’ll also see some history, some interesting tidbits, and watch me put my costume degree to work!

I’ve had a long association with the good folks at Threshold. This is a private club, but this event is open to the public. I encourage you to come… you’ll be among good folks!

Threshold is proud to present

June’s Kink Academy:

SIMONE and EXQUISITE RESTRAINT CORSETS

presents

‘WHAT IS A CORSET?”

Saturday, June 20

7 PM

(Doors open at 6:30 PM)

Location:

Hollywoodland Studios

11300 Hartland Street

North Hollywood, CA 91605

(Entrance in back of the building)

Admission: $5 for Members and Affiliates

$10 for Guests and Non-Members

The entire BDSM community is welcome to attend (age 18 years old and up).
Threshold membership is not necessary to attend.

The presentation will cover:

~What is a corset?

~Brief history of corsetry

~Some construction aspects and secrets

~How to buy a proper corset and what exactly is a proper corset

~Demo with live models, a chance for attendees to try on some stock corsets

All attendees are eligible for a 15% discount on a new corset order if they attend this event

Simone, owner of Exquisite Restraint Corsets, has served the community for 9 years and brings her career as a theatre and film costumer with extensive corset knowledge to Kink Academy and SMU.

Not to be taken for granted, modern people own corsets and wear them, but corsets come with a historical pedigree and are a profound source of fascination, even a fetish, for many, while merely a unique fashion item for others.
