Michele,

If you are painting the gentleman at any time from life, I would suggest using the hands on approach for measurements to insure accuracy.

Chris,

I had that same corset made (unfortunately not for me) in pale celadon green. Delicious!

Actually girls, I WAS thinking of having one made for me for special occasions. After all Jane Fonda wore one even when she was over 60. Everybody wore them at the turn of the century, even the old croakers. After pricing Prada et. al a custom made corset is a bargain. It would fit better than something off the rack and you could have a skirt made to match at the fraction of the cost of designer duds. Have you seen the runway fashions for the last few years, corsets, corsets, corsets!
