What is this ExRezCorsets on Etsy you speak of?

simone — Sun, 12 Dec 2010 17:49:43 +0000

If you haven’t gotten hooked on Etsy.com , you’re missing out. This is an online sellers website, sort of an ebay for the artisans and crafters, but without the bidding. The work runs the gamut in quality and price, but if you have an excuse to start shopping or planning something, like a new baby, a wedding shower, or more gift shopping, you will find stellar things and support people who make handcrafted items and boutique businesses, like ExRez Corsets.

Individual members create “Treasuries” of their favorite sellers and items. I’m thrilled that people like ExRez Corsets and are featuring us in the Treasuries they create.

This one is oodles of fun, sparkles and glam…..Hot Pink and Black Fantasy Outfits! by Ginmartini

If you’re loving my Pink and Black Geisha Hello Kitties, check out the one on Etsy in a size Medium, without the beading… if that’s not your size, write to me to order for a special sale price of $295 for a size “off the rack” or $325 for custom fit to your measurments (plus sizes over 1X, additional $50), without beading. (Beading as shown in picture, additional $45) Shipping and handling $15 in the United States… contact me for shipping to other countries.

Available with beads as a custom order

Back in the day… HISTORICAL Exquisite Restraint Corsets!!

Photoshoot at The Argyle styled by Danielle... where art thou now?

This is fun…
An old version of Exquisite Restraint Corsets website just in time to celebrate 10 Years of Exquisite Restraint in 2011.
The WayBack Machine website is pretty darn awesome… and I’m so glad the old versions of Exquisite Restraint are there! A lot of the links don’t work, and this is a limited version of the website, but its fun to see it and see how far Exquisite Restraint has come.
The first versions were created by glamour girl Bijoux Deluxe of the old print magazine, Girl Talk, and her aesthetics were greatly appreciated!
I went out on a personal limb and went PINK with 5D Spectrum (formerly Formula) and I’m so glad I did!

Exquisite Restraint Corsets made appearances at Labyrinth of Jareth 2010

simone — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 03:25:41 +0000

I made it to Labyrinth, Friday night only, July 16th, and it was so awesome!
I accompanied Clockwork Couture, and proprietoress Donna Ricci was sporting an original corset design made exclusively for Clockwork Couture.

Donna vending, www.clockworkcouture.com

In case you don’t know, The Labyrinth of Jareth Masquerade Ball was created 10 years ago and held annually here in Los Angeles, www.labyrinthmasquerade.com. It is most certainly named after David Bowie’s Goblin King of the film. The masquerade features all manner of fantasy, faeries, goblins, and the steampunk crowd have found a home there.
Here’s a lovely client of mine, Sheyne, sporting a corset I made that coordinates with her incredible costume:

Sheyne is wearing Exquisite Restraint with her incredible costume, while the camera flash did weird things to the fuzzy trim over my bust!!!

Yep… that’s me in curly hair! I am a Time Traveler, Crazy Corsetmaker and Reformed Whale Hunter (historical whale bone!) but I come across as more of a pirate. That’s ok… I got giant scissors!

There were so many great costumes at Labyrinth. So much creativity in one space. Sheyne ended up in the LA Weekly online Slideshow of the event. It’s worth clicking play to see more of the beautiful people… and fairies… and goblins… and creatures of the night!
