As I could'nt get myself to take pictures of the Damned-Stays(tm), I decide to put some of my antique stuffs on the net : enjoy !!
The "opera" items are reall Paris Opera Garnier costumes I bought 18 months ago. All this antiques have been found in flee markets. And under the black skirt, there is a real little crinoline, but unfortunately, I couldn't find the time to photography it. But you can see how perfectly the skirt fell on it.
And because a costumer is nothing without her very own kitty, let me introduce you to my million-dollar baby :
(the -- today -- sick cat, which explain his victim look).

It is in an incredible perfect state except for the busk that is broken. My mum find it in a flee market in the most retired village in the world (something like ten houses in the middle of nowhere) for only 7 euros. I still can't believe that such kind of things could happen O_o !!
On day, I will took the time to make better pictures of all this (and the things I have forgotten). The problem is that there all by my parents, 500 kilometers away from me ! *snif*

I also love the shoes and the bodice and the hat. Great overall. Thanks for sharing :)

I bought it when I was about 16 to a collector who was selling her small collection. The next year, I came back to the same flee market and found the same collector : she hadn't sell anything since the last year !! I bought everything, including the black skirt, the hat, and the crinoline. Something like 8 monthes of pocket money ! But it was worth the cost !
The shoes are great : I bougth them around the same time as the bodice. I thought then I could try to wear them, but they are so incredibly tight that I could hear my toes cry for help just trying to put them.
