Corset makers in Melbourne?

[mstakenidentity]

I've been thinking about what to do with the portion of the Rudd money not being sent on Loki's vet bill and have decided I like the idea of having a corset custom-made (thus providing employment while stimulating the economy *sanctimonious nod*)

I've looked on the net and all I can find is corset makers in Sydney, and while I'm sure they're wonderful I doubt I'll be leaving the state anytime soon. I'm loath to buy a corset online, I want to be able to touch it and feel it and try it on before handing the money over.

I'm sure there are people on my flist who would know, where does one go in Melbourne if one wishes to have a corset made to measure? And do any of them have websites I can look at?

Cheers!

Still looking...

Another one, with a dodgy website and a PO Box address is Tinkervamp. On their un-updated website from 2008, their e-mail is still sales@tinkervamp.com.au though.

Lucrezia and De Sade in Fitzroy last time I was there didn't have much corsetry, but struck me as the sort of shop where if you asked, they probably would know.

Forgot... Assassinus who really sounds like someone I should know, but don't. (And looks like he makes custom corsets out of metal instead of any of that wussy metal boned fabric stuff!)

Thanks so much, you are SOOOOOO much better at this than me! I couldn't find anything.
