Per usual, I'm behind with posting completed corsets. Now that ComFest is over, I'll be rolling them out like it's my job (cuz, well, it is). I have to get caught up asap, because I need to pick up a second job soon. Sales are slow. eBay sales are non-existent. No one has money for luxuries like a custom corset, and I'm over giving them away on Etsy and eBay. The *clients* I get from those sales are among the rudest and pushiest, and get their corsets for next to nothing [no Etsy or eBay client reading this entry should feel offended - those comments are not directed at you. The folks I'm referring to aren't among my readership here].

I'm not sure what the future of SugarKitty holds. If there is one, at this point. I'm very angry at my soon-to-be-ex these days. Very angry indeed.


Enough whining! On to the corset!

This corset turned out absolutely gorgeous. The client requested Inked Girls for the entire corset, but because the #3 & #4 panels were so narrow, I was not able to successfully lay out the pattern on them. I spent half a day laying out the fabric for this corset, and tried every combination possible. Nothing looked right. So, I opted for two black silk dupioni panels in the middle, and it looks amazing.

Wasn't the greatest of years this year. A crappy economy + multiple rainstorms = poopy sales. Ah well, there's always next year. At least you all can see what I've been up to for the past few months. Preparing for what should be my biggest money-maker of the year. God, I hope that's not an actual indication of what the rest of the year will be like... yeow.

I'm just glad it's over. By the time I reach ComFest itself, I'm so burnt out from working 7 days a week non-stop that I can hardly bear to sit in that booth the entire weekend. I just wanna take a nap!





A HUGE thank you to everyone that came out - whether it was to set-up, tear-down, help run the booth, visit, say hi, bring me delicious Mojitos (you know who you are) or just generally put up with my pissy mood. It means the world to me!! :D
