I live by the Adriatic Sea, in a small country called Croatia. Even since my childhood I was fascinated with historical costumes, the magic world of corsets and crinolines and that is how I chose my vocation - Fashion design and textile technology where I graduated with honor as one of the best student in my class.
I started to make corsets back in 2006 - first for me, my close friends and then their friends. I have started from literally zero, in my own home where I still work. My dream is to have a professional atelier one day. To make a professional corsets special tools are necessary. 90% of everything I'm getting on corset making, I'm investing to get the appropriate tools, fabrics, equipment and keeping myself educated. I already have all the basic tools, most books about corset making and a self healing cutting mat. But I still do the grommets insertion manually which takes a lot of extra time and energy, and also some of my tools from the start have now got worn out and will need to be replaced, so it is an ongoing process. Also It is not possible to buy a corset making supplies in my country so I am ordering them from UK and USA which is for me more expensive than for the corset makers located in UK or USA. |
My wishlist
Well of course best things in life can't be bought with money. But we unfortunately live in this material world and there are some items I will need in the sooner future. Some of them are necessary corset making supplies that I am using for every corset I make, as the steel bones, busks and etc. and other are corset making tools. Any of the gift you choose from my list will be very helpful to me. It will help me to continue my corset making and to make new creations.

All the donations will be used specifically for funding my corset making business. Except the corset making tools and supplies, I also have other costs such us covering the fees for auctions, registering the website domain and etc.
How I helped others so far
At the March, 2013, Lucy Corsetry was leading the campaign to help collect the funds for medications for our colleague corset maker, Sidney Eileen who suffered from the dread Lyme disease. As I had only this corset and accessors available in my Etsy shop, I decided to offer all (mesh corset, neck corset and fascinator) for the full donation to the "Defeat the dread Lyme" campaign. Many other corset makers participated, and Sidney is now recovering and taking her medications.
