The Corset Tree
Posted by Zel-kun on October 29th, 2009 filed in Random BitsSo, for the longest time, Zai has wanted to go into business for herself. And I’m proud to say that she has finally made all the arrangements to do so. She has started an ebay store that specializes in corsets… a corsetry (maybe not a word, but the source of my little play on words up there), as she’s been calling it. She’s been a huge fan of these body-shaping apparatuses for years now, and she decided she can make a decent profit importing and selling them.
Her first wholesale shipment came in yesterday afternoon and she was practically bouncing around the house. Our coffee table was stacked high with corsets, and they weigh a ton. They’re not just cloth, there seems to be quite a bit of metal sewn into these things. As my lovely wife informs me, it is the mark of a true corset if there’s steel in there.
So, for my discriminating female readers (or male, hey, I don’t judge), I present to you, Elegant Enchantment.
Zel-kun out.

They’re flat steel bone, not palstic or spiral. This is some of the best quality in corsets without spending over $150! I decided I wanted to open a shop with good quality REAL corsets at a great price, because I get angry when I see other places selling “lingerie quality” corsets for around $60 to $90, and luring customers in saying “steel boned” when only the busk is made of steel and the rest is plastic! At my shop, you’ll see the same prices other places have for the flimsy ones, only you’ll get the real thing! =)

Woo! I love corsets! I have three!
Maybe I will send business your way at Christmas.
Best of luck! (Advertising tip – goth club or steampunk websites. Grab people just as they are pondering what they are going to wear to the club next or looking for proper undergarments for their turn of the century dress.)

Years ago my mother went to her doctor complaining of a pain near her ribs. X-rays showed nothing broken. A month later she was back in his office complaining the pain was worse, yet still nothing showed up on x-rays. The doctor eventually figured out that a stay in her corset was poking her in her ribs and advised her to buy a larger size corset.
Good luck with your business!
