I'm slowly unpackign from the LARP.
I just discovered my white corset is horribly dirty, it looks as if it had been rubbed against a verrrry dusty something, there are grey marks on the front, and along the bones, tracing the shape of the metal parts inside. Can't throw it in the wash without taking out all the metal bits. And frankly, I don't think it's worth it. This was made from a poly brocade salvaged from a second-hand bridal dress, the fabric is thin and has started ripping on some spots. The more I think about it, the more I think I'll use the corset as a base for a ribbon corset, then salvage the bones an busk... Any adivce would be welcome, anyway.
