Enchanted Corsets
I've decided this weekend is Sherlock Holmes weekend. Saturday we're observing Reichenbach day, and Sunday the second season of Sherlock premiers, I'm soooooo excited.
And in between will be a "let's see how many Jeremy Brett episodes I can watch in one sitting" marathon.
Quite a few...
So a few months ago I decided it was time to invest in a real, custom made, Victorian style corset. Thanks to some of you that have costume and corset expertise, it was recommended I find someone local, who could do one on one fittings and fancy things like that. I found Enchanted Corsets and everything seemed to just flow from there. Lisa Marie is the creator, and after she took about two dozen of my measurements, I knew my corset would be amazing. If you're in the Portland area and want a corset, give Lisa Marie a call, she know's her craft, and I know this is something I'll love for ages.
Of course a photoshoot was a must, so I teamed up with the photo genius Lisa, of Light and Shadow. She just makes people look fantastic. Her studio is in a Victorian house, perfect setting! All photos by Light and Shadow

You have a really fantastic body for a corset. I´m happy that you found someone local. It really is better to have fittings.
I agree with all the ladies! beautiful pictures and I love your hairstyle :)
That really IS amazing. You already have a gorgeous figure but this makes it like the women from the Victorian era looking hourglass figure! Lovely photoshoot too by the by.
You siren! You see this sort of thing done badly so often, but your shoot is perfection!
Gorgeous corset! Love the hair; you remind of a lovely lady from the late 1800s
The second series is fantastic, my Sunday nights simply didn't cut it when it finished. And I love Benedict Cumberbatch- we're watching him in Frankenstein in the summer so should give me a fix before series three starts!!!
What wonderful pictures of such a beautiful woman! :) Have a splendid weekend gorgeous! :) Zoë x
So gorgeous, you look lovely!
You look completely lovely. I adore that corset, I have one from What Katie Did, it's an under bust, and I really love it. This color is amazing and I bet having one fitted to you is grand. Love all the photos!

Oh my gosh sexy girl this is perfect for you with your really lovely and perfect shape. I would adore one of these myself, one of those things you maybe never get in a lifetime but I'm so happy you did!!
Such a magnificent corset! My mum is a corset maker, so I usually get all the tests and mock ups, so my corset collection is quite large!
Love,

Those photos are so lovely and this is such an amazing corset! How do you do to keep your hair like that? Whenever I do this it doesn't stays for 30min..! xxx
Lovely! My daughter loves your style too, and narrated these pictures. It was hysterical. "My leg, my leg it's so beautiful!>"
Wow - gorgeous corset, makes your waist look teeny tiny!
Beguilingly, sophisticatedly, endlessly gorgeous.

Beautiful, beautiful photos. I LOVE your poses. The pics in on the window sill are my favs.
Wow this corset is beautiful and looks like it fits you beautifully! Thanks for the gorgeous photos! XxxX http://thesecondhandrose.blogspot.co.uk/
that looks extremelly painful. :O
You look really amazing ! Could you do a tutorial or ost on how to do the hair ? It looks so pretty. Very edwardian-insired :)

WOW! you are sooo beautiful!
Classy and lovely. Is it uncomfortable to wear?
BRILLIANT!!! I just love it!!!
That Gibson Girl hairstyle looks beautiful on you. And the corset!! Breathtaking!
You have dancer's feet! Beautiful, graceful portraits.
Thank you everyone!
To answer some questions, yes I'll do a tutorial on the hairstyle soon, and no it's not uncomfortable at all, when it's something custom made, it's fit to your body's unique shape.
Completely amazing!
What a wonderful shape it gives
Great buy for sure
It looks great on you :)
Ooh, saucy! I love corsets, I wish I could afford a custom made one, but I'm pretty happy with my What Katie Did underbust corset.

You look amazing!! My favorite pictures are the ones of you reading the Sherlock Holmes book. I love your site & really want to dress like you. I am going to learn to swing dance & your clothing would be perfect for it. :) Thanks for giving me a dream site to visit.

Wow, these are absolutely fabulous shots! I love all your photos and outfits, really, but there's just a little sauciness to this shoot that takes them over the edge to amazing :)
Fabulous corset! I LOVE corsets, and would love to own one that is custom made for me. I'm sure it feels much better than those "off the shelves" ones.
What a fabulous corset, I adore the color. You look stunning and the pictures are fabulous.

You are so lucky!!! I was gigling throuout this whole post wishing I were you. Ever since I saw the new Titanic (ITV mini series, highly recommended) I have been wanting to where a corset and an outfit from the late 1800's or the early 1900's. I have even put "being a figurant in a costume drama" on my 100 things to do before you die list.
Lust, lust, lust
Love from Jo-Anna (16 from Norway)
Love the pictures with the books framed by the window. Such great lines!
Let me just start out by saying that you are absolutely stunning and that I am totally in love with your blog! I literally could spend hours on it..you have such an amazing eye for vintage style and each of your outfits/hairstyles are just so lovely.
