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!

I’m so glad I did. Ama Lea’s work is stellar.. visit her site and go to MUSIC for some killer photos of model and singer Lisa D’Amato… and friend of Exquisite Restraint Corsets!

I do believe Ama Lea is doing offsite photography for print and media of Hot Rod Betties, Tattooed Beauties and Pin-Up Cuties (howz that? : P ). I wish I could be there… *sigh* but I’m chained to the sewing machine. I do know there will be so many of my buds there, like Bryan Barnes and veteran of pin-up, Mitzi & Company. Here’s a killer photo by photographer Jeff Davidson at the Ink N Iron Pin-Up Contest years ago in an Exquisite Restraint Corset that Mitzi owned and loaned to the model!

I know you performers are super-crafty and know how to make costume pieces your own. My corsets are constructed with the most excellent materials, and are suitable for blinging out with Swarzovski crystals, beading, braid and trim… even painting on the surface. Or share your ideas with me and I can customize a corset just for YOU!Write to me simone@exquisiterestraint.com for quotes, ideas or to make a appointment for a custom fitting.
