Cage elasticated corset DIY

I've just finished this colored corset. I've made this with several meters of colored elastics bands. The thing that i like about this corset is that when you handle it it looks unstructured because the bands are sewed together only in a couple of places but when worn the bands stretch and go in place and the corset looks made of a single piece. What do you think of the result?


Ho appena finito di cucire questo corsetto, è costituito da diversi metri di fasce elastiche. L'idea che mi ha portato a sceglierle come materia prima è che il corsetto guardandolo appare destrutturato, ma indossato gli elastici si tendono e acquista l'aspetto di un pezzo unico. Che ne pensate?

DIY inspiration: the leather vest

McQueen tank/corset via Street Tonic

Gaga at the Grammies styled by Formichetti

I love how this girl has played down this evil little number by Alexander McQueen with a casual jeans and tee look.Look how a leather cloth can change an outfit and give to it a rock appeal! Her special and sophisticated look remainded me of the molded top worn by Lady Gaga at the Grammy awards.Her top is really extreme but in both looks i love the embossed and molded details,this is something that i want to replicate in some wearable way :)
