Hi All-
Here is a link for a lady in Portland, Oregon who does custom corsets. Her prices are around a third to a half of what most custom corset are going for on the web. Her work is very, very good. I had my corset done for $150. The last time I talked to her, which was today as a matter of fact, she regretfully told me she had to up her prices to $165 for a basic corset. This is still way less expensive than most corsetiers.
I had my corset done very simple and basic in a neutral beige color to wear under clothes, but I'm thinking of having her make me another one that will be a whole lot fancier and that I can wear as a top with a jacket or something. Woo, Joni is getting so daring.<g>
Here's the link: <http://www.thecorsetlady.com/index.htm>
If it doesn't show up hot, just cut & paste. There's an email addy and phone number on the website.
Give her a try, I'm sure you won't be disappointed. If you have any questions about how I like mine, just ask.
Hugs, Joni from Oregon
