an equestrian wisp of girlishness
Beautifully sleek silk duchess satin in muted taupe is offset by an iridescent burgundy satin heart. Numerous spiral steel bones, a key Sparklewren aesthetic, structure this corset with pressure evenly wrapped around the torso, for a comfortable and impeccable shape. The gently compressed waist closes at 23", best suited for those with natural waists between 24" and 27".
The quilted heart is framed with a scattering of true clear Swarovski crystals in mixed sizes for an organic placement. Bursting out from the central shape, they are echoed in sweetheart shaping to the top underbust edge of the corset. Sloping seam placement to the front of the cincher echoes the lower portion of this central heart, for an Edwardian-inspired elegance of line. Sweetheart shaping is reflected at the upper back also, a signature Sparklewren detail.
Satin coutil provides strength and solidity, whilst a black cotton twill lining gives a clean interior, comfortable over clothes or against your bare skin. Invisibly hand-finished binding neatly completes the corset.

tongue-in-cheek femininity
The seriousness with which Sparklewren approaches her work, is neatly balanced by her willingness to enjoy silly aesthetics from time-to-time, with an unbridled joy.
The central silk heart is hand-quilted with the timeless silhouette of Whistlejacket, making use of quality cotton batting and waxed cotton quilting thread for a moderately thick stitch and textured form. Light rippling allowed around the horse creates background texture, referencing the subtle blank background of the original painting.
Gift this corset to your sweetheart as a Valentine's day lingerie piece... take the equestrian theme even further in Helmut Newton inspired playtimes, teaming the cincher with leather couture harnesses and cuffs... or wear with jodhpurs and a white shirt for some quintessentially English quirkiness.
Originally produced as a tutorial piece for corsetiere's e-zine Foundations Revealed, this corset has been modelled thrice and is in great condition, sent unlaced (laces can be purchased separately). £270. Pure girlish whimsy.
