Conversation with Broad & High TV Show
It was a pleasure to reconnect with the producers of Broad & High recently when they came out to my studio to talk about my recent commission for the PBS TV show Mercy Street.
Riddle Me THIS!
What has 32 bones, 34 eyes, 2 tails, and a purple and green skin? A Riddler-themed corset, of course! Inspired by the character the Riddler in the DC Comics Batman series, this is the third commission from a client of mine who lives in Kansas. She wanted this corset for a comic convention she is attending…
Wilde Hunt Corsetry in New PBS Series Mercy Street
Costume Designer Amy Andrews Harrell (Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Signs, Lincoln) recently reached out to me and requested that I create a historic, Civil War era corset for the new PBS drama series Mercy Street. The series will be directed by Ridley Scott (Blade Runner, Alien, Gladiator, Thelma and Louise) and is set to air along…
Vampire Queen Corset
My client Monica requested her corset be “Gothic in red and black leather”, so we chose the smoothest, satin finish black leather paired with red metallic leather.

Most of the corsets I create for my label Wilde Hunt Corsetry are made out of leather, so it is fun to create something from a completely different time period and to…
Spotlight Trend: Beaded Corsets
Recently, in a post on The Lingerie Addict, Marianne Faulkner wrote: “What I think is next for corset embellishment is beading. Not just occasional beaded accents but full-blown, crazy beading.” I was excited to read this for several reasons. It’s pretty clear if you look at my gallery of past work that I absolutely adore beading and I…
Venetian Corset
This work is one of three leather corsets that I created for an art grant which I was recently awarded. My inspiration was the Art Nouveau movement and in particular the work of Alphonse Mucha. The Venetian Corset is one of the most challenging corsets that I have ever created. I constructed it from leather panels which I hand-cut with an…
23kt Gold Corsets
In a recent newsletter I sent out to my readers I announced that I was recently named a Greater Columbus Arts Council grant recipient, and today I would like to share with one of the works I created in the collection which was part of my proposal to this organization. I named each of the…
