    Default Corset Alteration for Work

    I have a corset type top that has a hook and eyelet front opening that I really like. Right now it is too difficult for me to wear it to work since it takes forever to get it on and off. I tried...it just didn't work out .

    I really love that top and want to wear it to work so bad!! Has anyone ever paid a seamstress to add a zipper to a corset? I am wondering if it would be very difficult. I am having a hell of a time finding cute corsets with zippers so I would be happy to pay to have a zipper put on the side off this one.

    Has anyone else run into this problem?

    it shouldn't cost that much to have a zipper put in and it sounds like an excellent idea. I make many of my own outfits, and I've done many alterations like that, it usually works quite well.

    It's really easy to put a separating zipper into a corset. I do it for myself and for girls I work with. I'm sure any alterations shop would do it, too.

    Also, Guenevere here makes corsets with zippers, and hers are just gorgeous.

    I think it's a great idea. All my corsets have zippers on the side. There's a pic of me in one here. I can ask the boutique where they get them from if anyone is interested.

    Damn Perry!! That is a sexy corset !! This is the corset I want to add a zipper to. I have a hard time finding corsets because I have small boobs but a wide back. So finding one that fits well and has a zipper is rare!

    I'll try calling some seamstresses here in town to see if they could do it. I suck at sewing. When I have some extra cash I really would like to have one custom made. Guenevere's are very pretty so I may have to take a look at some of her stuff .

    Brendita, you're so nice and helpful!

    BTW, I gotta say theat Guen does make some fabulous corsets! Beautifully made and worth every penny! I might have to get a couple of overbust ones for fall... I love wearing them with buttondown shirts and pencil skirts.

    Isn't she though ! I love all my fellow Colorado SW ladies. We should all do lunch again sometime this summer while the weather is nice.

    Yeah the corset in the photo is a total cheapy one...but I like the way it fits. I really want a nice one but I am saving all my extra $$$ right now my Vegas trip in July. So no new clothes for the moment. But after July it is so going to be new corset for Ava time .
