Price: Not for sale

This is a corset I thought we would never photograph on a live model due to it’s 18″ waist. However, Sakura Blossom’s super petite body allowed us to finally get rid of the photo of this corset stuffed with a pillow. The second model, Hope, is very petite yet even with the laces let all the way out it was a struggle getting her into it. Matt photoshopped one image of Hope to give an idea of what this corset must have looked like if it were cinched close to what it was made for.

We also photographed the corset on our Victorian corset form which has measurements of 30-21-35. The measurements for the corset if it is fully cinched are 28-18-30. Even allowing for a 2″ gap in the back makes for a very tiny woman.
