		<description><![CDATA[Regency corsets, I&#8217;ve decided, are shockingly complexticated little beasties. I mean, they look all simple and they represent a time when, officially, corsets were somewhat démodé (except for how pretty much everyone was still wearing them). The pattern is easy enough. The construction is easy enough. There&#8217;s one central wooden busk and all of 14 pieces [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been a huge fan of jumbo plastic cable ties as corset boning for a long time. The only real downside to them is that they can get sharp corners when you cut them, and those corners will eat through fabric over time. I used to file them down with a nail-file, but that takes [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So I was out trimming the privet hedge the other day, like you do (she says, sounding perfectly British about the whole thing) when I stopped to think, &#8220;Gee, I wonder if I could bone a corset with some of these clippings?  I should give that a try&#8230;&#8221;  So I did. Now, it&#8217;s worth noting [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yet another dry, dusty pile of academic writing&#8230; This time, the topic is the corsetry/torso support of the 16th century.  I find the full history of the artificial silhouette totally fascinating, and I&#8217;m geeked beyond belief on the actual genesis of the corset.  In the 16th century alone, a bunch of different devices are in [...]]]></description>

  instead of a more normal boning belongs to Jen, who did a lot of research in 
  that direction in the course of her  
  Italien dress. The pattern for this corset more closely follows...]]></description>
