Welcome to your prettier inbox!  Thank you for opting into my email newsletter. In the footer of this email you can easily change you preferences or unsubscribe at any time. Remember I mentioned I’d be offering some of my designs for sale here first, well today I have one of my personal pieces up for sale. My Creamsicle corset was worn by me for a few events and then has been worn for 2 recent photoshoot with Laura & Rhawnie coming in to show off the beautiful shaping.

I’ll share a bunch of photos of this corset modeled by both these models at the San Jose Woman’s club (75 S. 11th Street, San Jose, CA 95112), where my workshop & showroom are located upstairs. If you haven’t visited and are local or visiting the bay area soon, get in touch and schedule a visit (laurie@tavan.com or 408 202-4179).

If you are interested in the history of the making of this corset I found the link when it was completed on my Daze of Laur blog: http://beta.dazeoflaur.com/?p=3509

The corset is a nice pastel peach and not as orange as the final images in the tungsten lighting. I am offering this beauty at 50% of the price to custom commission something of a similar vein so get in touch if you are interested! This is a very special and ornate corset with a lovely dramatic shape.

I’m asking $800 US plus shipping (sales tax for CA residents). I can take a deposit of $150 and two additional payments if you need a payment plan. I can accept paypal or take credit card payments through my invoicing system. And for those local to San Jose, I have this one and others for sale at the shop so please do get in touch to make an appointment to visit (laurie@tavan.com).  Slowly but surely I’ll be measuring & listing my samples through my mailing list first. Sunday I will list this for general sale on my website if it has not been snapped up yet. The coordinating skirt is available as well for $200 US – embroidered silk.

Thanks for looking!
