Depends what you class as a proper one.
It is boned but they're slightly flexible and it has a zip rather than lacing.

She said "boned"...

Matazone apparently makes corsets.
You should gaz him/ her/ it.

I'd also like to make clear that I only know this because I've seen the ad on his website.

*ahem*
sorry I didn't see this thread earlier, I was too busy MAKING CORSETS.

Tell me about your corsets.

(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Wed 24 Mar 2010, 16:01, Reply)

well they're not steel-boned
so they're not for all that tightlacing wasp-waist stuff, but you can lace them pretty tightly and they create the hourglass figure. They're made with silicone boning so they're pretty rigid but still flexible. You can see my website here: www.kittyohara.com, although it's not finished yet so not all the pictures are up and the shop doesn't fully work. They're all custom made to fit your specific measurements.

you've got a comma in it

dammit
I was going to put a space before the comma and then thought 'nah, b3ta will know'.

If you haven't figured it out, the correct address is www.kittyohara.com

*drools*
These are beautiful. Curse my student poverty!
(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Wed 24 Mar 2010, 16:11, Reply)

I do provide b3tan discounts
I do b3ta corsets for £30 :D

I've just started working on a neck corset for my friend's photoshoot so if it goes well I'll put them in the shop as well. They're a bit kinky though.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Wed 24 Mar 2010, 16:15, Reply)

Even food is slightly out of my range at the moment,
But as soon as my next student loan comes in...

Neck corsets fascinate me, though I don't think I'd ever be brave enough to wear one out.
(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Wed 24 Mar 2010, 16:18, Reply)

yeah that's how I feel really
I tried on the first draft and it just seems too extreme, although it does look quite elegant. It makes it kind of hard to turn your head properly as well, but it's popular with fetishists!
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Wed 24 Mar 2010, 16:24, Reply)

You should try Etsy.com
They have some really beautiful, one of a kind stuff on there, and its generally not too expensive.

Most of the other sites I like to drool over are English so you probably wouldn't save anything once you'd paid postage and customs.
Found instructions the other day on how to make your own. I'm very tempted...

Do you have to kill the whale yourself?

(PsychoChomp, Wed 24 Mar 2010, 15:27, Reply)

Not usually.
You can buy them from any good taxidermist.
(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Wed 24 Mar 2010, 15:34, Reply)

or meet them at a bash.

(PsychoChomp, Wed 24 Mar 2010, 15:35, Reply)

Now that WAS mean.

( girlinthehole, Wed 24 Mar 2010, 15:39, Reply)

no, that was funny.

(PsychoChomp, Wed 24 Mar 2010, 15:39, Reply)

I'm not going to kill you straight after meeting you.

(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Wed 24 Mar 2010, 15:39, Reply)

kill fall for
(PsychoChomp, Wed 24 Mar 2010, 15:41, Reply)

I'm not going to do that anyway.

(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Wed 24 Mar 2010, 15:43, Reply)

Good, it would never work.

(PsychoChomp, Wed 24 Mar 2010, 15:45, Reply)

You're not my type.

(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Wed 24 Mar 2010, 15:51, Reply)

you say that now
but wait until you've met him
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 24 Mar 2010, 15:41, Reply)

see I thought of making my own
but I went into the fabric shop and was completely overwhelmed. I didn't even go in for that specific purpose but if I hadn't found one little thing I like--which motivated me to continue on my mission--I would've left with only a car air freshener.
( Lisette von Falcon, Wed 24 Mar 2010, 15:29, Reply)

Embrace it!
I can spend hours in the fabric shop near me, even when I don't actually need anything.
(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Wed 24 Mar 2010, 15:35, Reply)

I don't actually know how to make anything at all.
I don't own a sewing machine. [wouldn't know how to use one if I did]
But I plan to make sexy pants for a mate.
Good thing I bought a yard of fabric :/
( Lisette von Falcon, Wed 24 Mar 2010, 15:38, Reply)

They're pretty basic once you learn how to thread them and adjust stitch length and tension.
But mine is ancient, new ones are probably more complicated.

Are you going to hand sew them then? :O
(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Wed 24 Mar 2010, 15:43, Reply)

my mum had to go on a course to be taught how to use hers because it is so complicated
and that's not a reflection on her abilities because she made things ranging from ballgowns to sails with her old one.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 24 Mar 2010, 15:46, Reply)

Too many dials and shit on new ones.
And you never use most of it anyway. I have my Nanna's old one, its probably at least 40 years old and still works perfectly and does everything I need it to.
(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Wed 24 Mar 2010, 15:50, Reply)

my mum gave me her old one
and it's awesome. Although I do like the new ones where you can scan in a picture of anything and it'll embroider it. Just think, you could have Goatse tablecloths.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Wed 24 Mar 2010, 15:58, Reply)

I didn't know you could do that.
Ahaha, perfect for dinner with the in-laws.
