For anyone just tuning in, I've been embroiled in a one-sided battle with some Chinese manufacturers that have stolen a couple of images from my website, created a knockoff from the image, and have then used the image to sell a really poor imitation of a SugarKitty Corset.

 

Lots more behind the cut... )

SugarKitty will be accepting custom orders until December 31. Beginning January 1, 2011, all custom orders will be on indefinite hiatus.

I need to take some time off to reflect on which direction I want to take SugarKitty in the future, and if I even want to continue this venture. I will use  time to catch up on my backlog of custom orders (which is almost complete!!), and to hopefully create some new projects.

Both Etsy shops will remain open (www.sugarkittycorsets.etsy.com and www.sugarkitty.etsy.com), but will only contain pre-made and ready to ship items, as well as any new samples I come up with. ALL GIFT CERTIFICATES WILL BE HONORED UNTIL DATE OF EXPIRATION - they can still be redeemed for custom orders!!!  I will still continue to accept retail and wholesale orders.

If you've been wanting to place an order with SugarKitty, now is the time! After December 31, I do not know when I will be accepting orders again.

If you're interested in wearing SugarKitty gear for your next photoshoot, there are several ways to go about it! First of all – CONTACT ME! Please don't just leave a comment on a photo or my wall stating “I'd like to work with you someday”! As much as I appreciate the compliment and recognition, I am an extremely busy woman, and odds are, I'll forget who you are in 10 minutes. Email me – preferably at my regular email address, sugarkittycorsets[at]gmail[dot]com.

 

Things to include in your contact email: date of photoshoot (paramount importance!), concept, colors, styles, sizes, and pieces you require. Please allow me 4-6 weeks PRIOR to your shoot to create custom items (even more time, if possible, especially during peak season of August-December). I do not keep a lot of stock on hand, and typically sell sample pieces. More often than not, I will need to make something for your photoshoot. If you need something in a week, chances are really good I won't be able to accommodate you.

 

That being said – don't be afraid to contact me! Please be courteous and professional. The more details you include with your email, the better your chances of getting a response, and a greater chance of getting to work together! I'm really friendly and flexible, but also busier than you can possibly imagine!

 

 

Now, onto the important stuff.

While I work on getting the new SugarKittyCorsets.com up and running, I have introduced my full line of standard sized corsets in my Etsy shop. From now on, all standard corsets will be available exclusively on Etsy.

To clarify, a standard sized corset features sizing that is similar to S, M, L. I have created this line in an effort to create a wider audience for those who want to own a beautiful custom corset, but have a smaller budget. Standard size corsets are available in waist sizes from 20-30". You order the corset 3-5" smaller than your natural waist size, and for some overbust corsets, you'll provide your bust and hip measurements as well.

All corsets are still made-to-order, with the same level of care and quality as fully custom corsets. Currently, silk dupioni is the only fabric option available in the Etsy listings, HOWEVER, any fabric request can be accommodated (an additional charge MAY be incurred). Additionally, fully custom corsets will still be available by request (and special order).


Check out my Etsy Shop here!

Because of it's ease of use, I'm moving my home over to Blogger. It's a lot easier to update, and is more pic-friendly (which is mostly what I post anyhow). Come follow me! I will still post a link here every time I update over there for anyone who's still interested in following my work.

I've ventured into something new! I'm currently working on a huge multi-piece costume order, part of which included mini tophats. I liked making them so much, I decided to try and make some more for my Etsy shop. Unfortunately, my new venture is on hold until I finish my costume pieces (pictures coming soon!), but keep an eye out for more to come! :)



More images... )
