Hello Corset Makers!
Another summer, hopefully yours has been lovely thus far. Delicious Sideshow is
enjoying it’s little spot in The Piazza at
Schmidts, the location is wonderful. So far all the new products are going well,
which I’m taking as, that I am not the only
one who likes them. I have been finding that due to the economy, many places are
closing down or being bought out by
others. So if any of our supplies/products change I will do my best to let
everyone know immediately. I have yet to find any
reasonably interesting books and patterns to add to our collection, I am still
open for any and all suggestions. We are also getting
a new website! Don’t be afraid, this is a very good thing for all of us. I
suppose it’s not exactly a “new site” but rather a supreme
makeover. New editions, updates and actions. We are also working on adding in a
message board. it may not be directly
within the site but I think that it will be an excellent piece for all of us.
Along with that we are working on updating the customer gallery, so pictures are
welcome as always. Follow us on Twitter!!! We are there and at along with Live
Journal!
http://corsetmaking.livejournal.com so totally come on over, find us and join us
throughout our quirky days. As always if you have any questions about our
products please just send over an email to [email protected] or give us
a call at 215-413-8259. Also don’t forget that if you want something that we do
not currently carry please send us an email and we will
do our best to start carrying it for you!

Hello Corset Makers!

It’s been a quite a while. Delicious LLC has been quite busy. We have
officially opened a new shop in the Piazza at Schmidts. Too Delicious will
become our show room of sorts, and it still has all the amazing vibes of our
Delicious Boutique. We have also recently changed the supplier of our bra cups,
I am very happy with the quality that I have seen so far and will add in an
extra note on the site as a reminder of this since they are slightly different.
Along with that we are trying out a few new Ageless Patterns, which you can find
in our normal pattern area on the site and under new items. I am currently
looking into more patterns and books to carry, so if you have any suggestions
please let me know it would be greatly appreciated. Psydde is still traveling
the world vending his heart out, so if you know of any shows coming around
please stop in and say hi. We are highly enjoying the photos all of you are
sending of finished pieces that you have created, they are amazing and totally
appreciated. I have also been thinking that it could be a really great idea to
add another piece to this and possibly to the site, geared towards ways you
finish and/or do things, as in a more efficient way you have found to do
something. I think that would be great to share with everyone along with tools
or products you simply cannot live without. As always if you have any questions
about our products please just send over an email to [email protected]
or give us a call at 215-413-8259.
Also don’t forget that if you want something that we do not currently carry
please send an email to supplies@… and we will do our best to start carrying
it for you!

**PRODUCT REVIEW**
I figured that I would check out one of the many books that we carry
and work with that. I am actually looking for some other fun books to
start carrying that could better serve all of you. If you have any
thoughts or ideas please let me know.

Domiknitrix: Whip Your Knitting into Shape (Book)
do·mi·kni·trix \”dä-mi-‘ni-triks \ n, pl -trices [US, var. of
dominatrix, re: knitting] (2005): a woman who dominates her knitting;
broadly: a badass knitter
Learn the rules or else. Inside you’ll find a no-nonsense,
comprehensive guide to essential knitting operations and finishing
techniques, including step-by-step instructions for all the basic
stitches used in the patterns in the book.

This book is amazing, I am always looking for fun little things to
knit and create. This book has all the information you will need and
is explained perfectly. It goes through materials you can use, types
of yarns, knitting styles and so on. I am currently working on a few
of little projects from the book because they make excellent gifts.
Everyone loves a homemade gift especially when it is functional. I
definitely suggest checking out this book even if it is just something
for you or that awesome someone.

Thanks Everyone & Happy Corset Making!!!!!!

**PRODUCT REVIEW**
My Ode to Halloween:

Simplicity Pattern- Woman’s Italian Renaissance Dress: Woman’s
Renaissance/ Princess style, multi-style dress with bodice pattern.
Includes headband pattern. Available in two different size ranges.

00 Grommet & Washer Antique Silver: Size 00 (3.16″ inside diameter).
These are two-part grommet and washers. Much better quality than the
single part “spurred grommets”. Must have some type of setter.

Grommet Setting Tool – Free Standing: A heavy duty free standing tool
for setting eyelets and grommets. Has a 6″ long reach and full
adjustment for perfect compression control. Includes setting and punch
dies for size 00 grommets. Accessory dies available for size 0
grommets, nailheads, and more.

Grommet setting Hand Machine/Osborne Hand Setting Machine: High
quality hand machine with reinforced frame and handle. Uses two part
dies. Bolts to table for added stability. Height: 22″ The appropriate
dies for setting 0 and 00 grommets are sold separately from the machine.

Continuous Spiral Steel Boning: 10 continuous yards so you can cut
your own exact length. Available in 1/2″ and 1/4″ widths.

Boning Tips: U-shaped tips to cover the 1/2″ and 1/4″ continuous boning.

Bone Casing: Cotton double sided tubular casing to enclose boning
Available in 3/4″ (for the 1/2″ boning) and 1/2″ (for the 1/4″
boning). The most ideal and easiest way to secure boning, very
resistant and sturdy.

That is quite a list, I figured that I would throw in everything that
I will be using. I know that I have both grommet setters on the list
but i enjoy using both, the Free Standing for punching and the Hand
Machine for setting. The original pattern might be altered depending
on fit but otherwise I won’t change anything. Simplicity patterns are
normally easy to read through and so far we have no problems. Just
make sure you picked the correct size and are cutting out the correct
pattern. I have chosen style B which only has four parts and nine
pattern pieces to it. Overall, this is very self explanatory and I
have had no set backs. We have gone over punch and setting grommets
along with the bone casing and boning. I have decided however to make
an under-bust corset to go along with this but the only difference in
it would be the casing Sewing it down leaving extra at the top and
bottom so it can be sewn into the bias and you are set just make sure
you don’t sew in too far and make sure your lines are straight because
you will be able to tell when you have finished. Cutting The spiral is
easy measure and snip, try to get it in one shot it makes things
easier. The tips are easiest if you have two sets of pliers. Place the
tip and and hold it at the base with the pliers then with the other
set crimp the top to make sure it is held down. It should not come off
very easy now if you pushed down hard enough, if not give it another
go. You are all set, I’ll do a re-post when I have finished completely
so I can also put up pictures on the site.

Thanks Everyone & Happy Corset Making!!!!!!

Delicious Corsets presents:

“CORSETS FOR A CURE” TO RAISE FUNDS FOR LOCAL BREAST CANCER FOUNDATION

Artist-Designed Garments Uplift

Philadelphia, PA, January 14, 2008 — A fundraiser on February 1, 2008
for the Linda Creed Breast Cancer Foundation will feature the kickoff
of an online auction of 18 unique corsets handmade by artists and
designers. The event will be held from 7 -10 pm at the Tower
Investments offices at 969 N 2nd Street, Philadelphia PA. It is free
and open to the public.

Delicious Corsets of Northern Liberties donated 18 garments to local
and national artists as blank canvases on which to express the
artists’ thoughts on breast cancer, women’s bodies, and the courage of
cancer survivors. The exquisite custom designs include, “Let’s Put
Philly on the Map,” featuring a 19th century map of Philadelphia, and
“I Dreamed I Was Frida Kahlo in My Delicious Corset,” inspired by the
Mexican artist.

A preview showcasing eight of the garments will be on display for the
month of January in the windows of The Art Institute of Philadelphia
at 1610 Chestnut Street in Center City.

Amy McConnell, co-owner of Delicious Corsets and the event organizer,
was inspired by the courage of her friend Andrea Collins-Smith, a
38-year-old mother of six recently diagnosed with stage 4 inflammatory
breast cancer (IBC). “When Andrea was diagnosed, I felt the need to
act,” said McConnell. “With the help of these truly talented and
generous artists the Delicious Corsets family can raise money and
awareness of this disease.”

Bidding for the corsets will be open online throughout the month of
February at www.corsetsforacure.com, concluding on February 29th,
2008. Funds from the sale of the garments will benefit the Linda
Creed Breast Cancer Foundation, a Philadelphia non-profit organization
specializing in breast cancer education, early detection and support.

The fundraiser on February 1st will feature the sounds of DJ Glitz and
a performance by the Bawdy Girls, and is co-sponsored by P.I.N.K.
Vodka, Triumph Brewing Company, and Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer. A raffle
will be conducted at the opening reception to directly benefit the
family of Andrea Collins-Smith.

For more information, visit www.corsetsforacure.com.

“The Linda Creed Breast Cancer Foundation is committed to promoting
breast health, fostering the healing process and establishing a public
agenda for prevention and cure. We accomplish this by offering access
to mammograms and diagnostic tests, through education and outreach, by
providing financial relief, and by driving an effective advocacy agenda.”

-BONE TIPPING DIES FOR THE FREESTANDING GROMMET MACHINE-

-COUTIL DOMESTICS-
In addition to our fine, stiff, finished imported coutils we now
carrying domestic coutil as well! Lighter in weight, softer, and
easier to dye, these coutils will be available in white, black, and
white brocade.

***Coutil Quickies: Coutil is a fabric that is designed specifically
for building corsets. It is high in cotton content, but does vary by
manufacturer and finishing process…..

Imported coutils go through a finishing process or starching process
and as the quality of this process dwindles we are happy that the
quality you have come to expect of our imported coutil continues to
stay the same. Our imported coutil is heavy weight, close textured,
and has a high density weave to prevent boning “poke throughs”.

-GOLD GROMMETS- (size 00 only)
Sold by the dozen and gross! Back by popular demand we now offer size
00 gold grommets for all your corseting needs. These go terrific with
our Gold Studded Busks too!

including the Ladies Ribbon Corset, Corset Girdle, and Man’s Corset.
The ribbon corset is constructed of alternating pieces of fabric and
ribbon. It has a busk in the front and lacing in the back. This corset
was popular from about 1899-1909. The Corset Girdle is made with one
layer of coutil with a busk in front, lacing in the back, and boning
tape. The dates for this corset are about 1894-1909. The gentleman’s

-FAN LACING SLIDES-
Just added to website! Fan Lacing Slides perfect for historical pieces
or for getting into those corsets when your personal hand maiden is
unavailable!

Fan Lacing was developed in 1908 by Samuel Camp of Jackson, Michigan
as a solution to self-lacing. As the Victorian Era was coming to an
end, many women were faced with the challenge of lacing their corsets
by themselves. The laces were threaded through a metal clasp that was
connected to an elastic band that buckled in the front for easier
self-lacing.

These dies make setting nailheads with your Freestanding Grommet

curved edge without puckering or pulling. On corsets it is often
used to bind the top and bottom edges for a clean professional finish!
We will be stocking black and white satin bias very soon!

-GROSGRAIN-
Pretty ribbon great for lacing, especially on bridal corsets!

techniques, health issues, and care instructions for fine corsetry.

late 1995. Since then they have continued to reinvent and innovate
corset design again and again with their creative and fresh outlook on
