Trash the Corset

Because I knew it was going to be "trashed" as it were, I specifically minimalized the materials used in the corset. It's single layer, with a scant 12 bones and no busk. To give it some flair, I added a bunch of ribbon detail. Unfortunately, the single layer and minimal boning weren't quite up to the amount of reduction drafted into it.

Then the fun began. Basically a bunch of strawberries were alternately consumed and smashed into the corset. The very first one smashed ended up creating the large heart-shaped stain.

And then the corset smelled like strawberries.
