After finishing up the 'Nel' kidney belt earlier this year, I had the idea of a more traditional laced corset variant floating around in my head for a while. It's been a good excuse to play with some new gorhic stamps and play with a little bit of hand tooling as well. I'm considering adding some matching tooled shoulder straps and maybe some fun hanging chains to finish things off....what do you think it needs?

I had a spare set of the recent "Nel" kidney belt pattern cut out and ready to go so I thought I'd test out some new turquoise Cobble Stone dye and some leather stamps and have a play with it.
