A few thank yous and referrals for a victorian wedding

WHITE-SATIN-CORSET
Great corsets - strong and comfortable and won't fall to bits after a bit of wearing. And the best part a third of the cost of other quality corsets.

Orange Blossom - really realistic looking and in the Victorian era this was compulsory.

Well lots has happened since the last post

I have left my job of 3 years and 11 months, will miss everyone there, but hope to keep up with them. Trying something new, enjoyed it thoroughly.
Went for a little test on Saturday, as I believe I am right on the knife edge, I will jump up and down when I get the results if in my favour.
