Hey there all!
My fashion show was a success, and now its time for me to find homes for these lovely outfits. Since they were made for runway purposes, I will be selling off the outfits as full sets on discount! They are the same quality you have come to expect from me for a custom order, as I am such a perfectionist. Treat yourself to some amazing steampunk garments today!
In addition to this sell-off, I am also offering 4 slots for discounted custom corsets! I am temporarily reducing the base prices- Underbusts are discounted $40 and Overbusts are discounted $50! Make your consultation appointment today, or email me for long-distance ordering. All slots are full. Thanks so much!


Estranged Nobless
-Jessamine Corset ($250)
-Kinsella Blouse ($65)
-Theatre Skirt ($90)
-Basic Petticoat ($25)
-Basic Bloomers ($20)
normal price for this outfit would be $450, I'm offering it for $360 plus shipping (if needed).
The Jessamine Corset closes at 26", making it suitable for natural waists of 29 to 33". In addition, since it's an overbust, I recommend it for a C-cup or larger bust. The theatre skirt has an elastic waist, but will stretch out to 48". The blouse fits a size 8-10 (up to a 41" bust measurement), and the bloomers and petticoat are open-sized.

I just wanted to post a thank you to my wonderful models for putting up with the long hours of being pretty and stuck in corsets for me. You all did an amazing job on Friday - I couldn't have done it without you!! Thank you a million times over.
This is just further proof that Steampunk Fashion is for all ages. I had the opportunity to make this amazing outfit for one of my BFFs, Elizabeth. I was able to finally take photos of it today, so I had to run home and upload them for all of you to see :)

More photos of this outfit and other recent creations of mine are up on my Flickr.
Oh yeah, one more thing - I finally got all of my steampunk clothing uploaded and available on my website! Check it out!

I'm introducing Charlotte cinchers, an economical version of both my Lola and Nixia underbust corsets. These are made without mockup fittings, based on the clients individual measurements as well as my now well established standard drafting. They still will each be custom drafted, but will be made using simpler and still very sturdy construction methods (which have been successfully tested for durability). These corsets will be more than sufficient for 2-4 inch waist reduction, and will be available to those with waist sizes up to 38 inches naturally.
Base models will be available from silks, satins, brocades, and taffetas, as well as cotton calicos and other fun materials. The standard model will have no front closure, but can be upgraded to have a busk, zipper, or lacing grommets. Turnaround time for these corsets is two weeks in this introduction period.
Regular price on these Charlotte cinchers will be $160 when I add them to my website, but I am offering4 3 slots at an introduction price of $130. Thats right, you can get a corset custom made by Scoundrelle's Keep for close to half off what my normal underbusts cost. These slots will fill up fast, no doubt. If you order quickly and from in-stock materials, I can even have your corset made in time for CONvergence or KakkoiCon. Email me today to take advantage of this great opportunity! scoundrelle@gmail.com
1 slot is on hold already! Thank you :)

I have up on my etsy site 3 corsets listed for sale, ready for immediate shipment. Since they've been posted up for 2 weeks now, I've dropped the prices on all three. Please check out my listings!

these corsets, like all of my custom made corsets, are constructed of 4 sturdy layers, with white steel boning and machine-set grommets. I take pride in my corsets, and use only the best materials in making them.
