Fan Lacing

So its time to dive in and try my hand and needles designing something I've always been fascinated with: 

Fan Laced Girdles! 

I'm currently researching and working on a few vintage inspired prototypes. Who knows where this adventure will end up, but lingerie is definitely a rabbit hole when you are learning about the fine details of garments and their past!

Here is more on this topic.

View Old Time reel of banned, censored scenes to meet local moral standards

This video is great! 

The info posted along with it sates: (CineGraphic) I made this film for the 2007 edition of the 72 Hour Film Fest in Frederick, MD. These scenes come from a reel of 35mm nitrate that was discovered in the projection booth of an old movie theater in Pennsylvania. The projectionist spliced together this reel of banned, censored scenes to meet local moral standards or for late night, "personal" screenings. This is a true reel of Cinema Paradisio.
