Corset advice?

[Miss Hazzard]

Hi PL friends! I have an interesting question for all of you. Im working on a indie film/TV show. The pilot for a series is being shot in Northern CA. Its going to be shopped around to the cable networks and if it is not picked up as a series, it will be packaged as an hour long special and be sold straight to DVD. We had a small budget, which has been spent on locations, equipment and costumes. We have decided we need a corset for two scenes. We would need a custom wasp corset to be worn under a 40s tailored suit in one scene and over a 50s bombshell dress in another. Problem? We simply do not have the cash left in the budget to spring for the $300-400 corset we need. Does anyone out there know of any affordable makers of custom wasp style corsets? Even better, are there any corsetieres out there who would be willing to accept the PR as payment or partial payment? (We are already offering this deal on a custom dress that has been made for the series as well as some accessories, it would be great if it appeals to someone in this field.)  We would have professional photos with the product,  it would be included in the series (or special as it may be), it will also be featured in the trailer which will be available on youtube, we are including a special spot in the credits for all fashion items in the show, we will also have a page on the website dedicated to the clothing and accessories as well as an album on the Facebook page. So thats my conundrum. Any ideas, advise, takers?

Hi!  I'm definitely interested.  I'm preparing to launch my corset line; Dark Garden has been working with me on finalizing my patterns.  My website is http://www.popantique.com and you can also look up Pop Antique on Facebook.  Unfortunately my website doesn't have any professional photos of my latest round of samples - too busy making 'em to get them shot yet!

 

I hope to hear back from you!
