A trim litttle tie dye corset with patterns perfectly matched in front and back.

The fabric is custom tie-dyed by artist, Todd Lava.

This one's had big payoffs in compliments and inspiration.

It's a nice change from seeing and using tie-dye in its more stereotypical forms (think big t-shirts, sloppy, hippy, Grateful Dead-y looks).

Projects like this one will definitely help tie-dye stay fresh as a fabric-art to wear, and we plan further collaborations. I could forsee vending these at places like Telluride, blue grass festivals, etc.

We showed this corset plus more of Todd's 2-d artwork, including his amazing tie-dye laminiations on board, in the “Arte Gras 2007” gallery show last year.

As always, every custom corset order you place includes:

* your front busk closure

* tough, two-piece grommets installed directly* into steel stays for your back laces

* 10- 16 spiral or spring steel stays

* a firm inter-or underlining of coutil, canvas, acrylic, cordura, pack nylon or other tough understructure.
