Junko Mizuno Inspired Burlesque Corset

Junko Mizuno, an amazing Japanese artist I love, opened her second solo Canadian gallery show "Venus Cake : Junko Mizuno's Food Obsession" last night! Not only was she there in person, there was also a burlesque show after party featuring Raimi the Minx and the Underground Peepshow in which all the performers were themed after her beautiful artwork! I was lucky enough to have a hand in creating one of the costumes for Peepshow's Sevvy Skellington inspired by Junko's "Fire bird" which you can check out here. 

All the patterns and graphics on the corset were digitally illustrated by me based directly on Junko's piece. After that I silk screened the flowers on the fabric for the side and back panels and screened the animals. For the animals also the grey shading by hand. I think it turned out pretty amazing and it looked beautiful on Sevvy! I hope to have some photos of her wearing the costume up here soon :) Junko herself complimented the corset to me which was the icing on the cake! *squee*

Harley Quinn Inspired Burlesque Outfit

This was for a Burlesque Swap for the lovely Sarahpanda inspired by the lovely villianess Harley Quinn:D I photographed them on myself before sending them off. I desinged a shiny pvc fascinator with satin box ruffled trim which I made by hand.. Because I am insane. lol The diamonds were sewn down with contrast stitching. The spats were sewn the same way.

The gun purse is made out of faux leather and padded to make it more three dimensional. There is a smallish zipper compartment on the back of the gun and a small loop on the mouth that the change purse can be clipped on to! I imagine it would be kind of annoying to have it on there the whole time lol The change purse has a velcro closure and the *bang* part I cut out by hand in shiny pvc and stitched down.
