After more than 5 years, I've added a new gallery to my guide!

We needed something to define items that are even shorter than cinchers and waspies, not constrained by budget, but - like the antique Swiss Waists -- while they at least some corsetty elements, they may or may not be bonified corsets, but are nevertheless offered by corsetieres or independent artists to layer with and work with a corseted waistline.

I set some ground rules, of corset -- but I hope you find this gallery inspiring and fun!

If there's anyone I missed, hit "reply" and let me know whose corset belt and swiss waist you would like added to the gallery!
