## Mexico’s Lady of Death
As the spookiest month of the year comes to an end, I’m bringing out our chicest corset of a tattooed, sugar skull woman wearing red and yellow flowers in her hair, just like our spook-tacular model. Look closely at the surrealist background of skulls and waves, and you will see a green viper stealthly protecting La Catrina, Mexico’s lady of death.
## It's All in The Details
This was one of the most complicated designs I’ve pattern-matched and made into a corset due to the very intricate design of the applique. Not only did the seam lines of these two oversized, square patches need to be matched at every curve, but the front busk also needed to be inserted directly down the center of her face. As you can see, when the corset is worn, her head remains symmetrical.

## The Back is Just as Important
The back of this Day of the Dead corset is made with a gold, metallic thread woven into the navy denim fabric to bring out the blue in the front design. I separated the front of the corset from the back with a red twisted cord trim. In the back, I used red grommets and hunter green lace-up. I finished the bottom hem with a double-faced, satin, pleated trim. The inside lining is made with cargo cotton that has the softest finish and feels buttery against the skin.
## Happy Halloween!
Making this corset was a lot of fun because halloween is my favorite time of year. I wish everyone a boo-tiful, fang-tastic halloween night!
Let’s get started on a custom handmade corset of your own! I am happy to answer any questions you may have. Please comment below.

## Custom Corset for a Dear Friend
Nayani has been modeling for Champagne Corsets for many years. And when I found out that she’d be moving to Florida this summer, I wanted to thank her for all of her hard work by gifting her with a custom corset that she could wear for many years to come. Although I miss her, I am happy she was able to visit Cuba this summer for a month before moving to her final destination of Miami.
## Cotton Fabrics for Summer and Hot Weather
Since Nayani has been wearing corsets for a few years now, I already had her measurements, and she knew exactly the design that she wanted – a black corset, made of faux leather snakeskin and feathers sewn along the neckline to the back of the corset. Her ideas inspired my final design. I made the inside lining with a beautiful pink cotton fabric, since her favorite color is pink. Cuba and Miami are both tropical climates, and cotton is one of the best fabrics for summer and hot weather. It is soft against your skin, one of the most highly breathable fabrics available, and soaks up sweat allowing heat to escape the body while keeping you cool. Because cotton is a natural fiber, it allows air to circulate and move freely through the fabric.

## A Must Have for Bespoke Garments
The faux leather snakeskin fabric we decided on is both timeless and has a great texture. Due to its pattern, I had to make sure both sides of the center front were cut exactly where the print lined up and each panel on either side had to be the same. Bespoke garments should always have a print that matches and is continuous throughout the entire corset.
## Little Details Make Corsets Comfortable and Long-Lasting
I decided to keep everything black on this corset, besides the lining, and so I used a black busk for the front opening, black feathers, black grommets & washers, and black lace-up. Because the fabric has a little shine to it, I also picked shiny lace-up. I added a soft, suede trim to the feathers to keep them both secure and to avoid any poke through. These are the little details I take into consideration to make the corset the most comfortable and long-lasting.
I love how Nayani styled this corset while she vacationed in Cuba and I can’t wait to see how she wears it in Miami too!
