Pink Corset

 I picked up this corset at a garage sale, thinking it would be great as a theatrical costume piece. I thought it had great potential as Renaissance garb - except for that bright pink lace! I removed it, and think the piece looks much better. Now I have something new to add to my Tickle Trunk!

(Btw, does anyone outside Canada get the reference to the Tickle Trunk from the kid's show Mr. Dressup?)

  1. Yep, you're right: better without the frill ;-)

    And No: Tickle Trunk was unknown to me, jet I was simply 'translating' it into 'the big fun and surprise box for dressups and other special events'
    And yes, finds in there CAN tickle indeed :-D

  2. For several years I kept a basket of dress ups for the grand-daughters. I have not heard of Tickle Trunk. How great to have this to add to yours.
    Thanks for sharing your refashion.

  4. ;) so consensus is the "tickle trunk" from Mr. Dressup is a strictly Canadian phenomenon! thanks ladies for the kind words!
