Quick and dirty safety pin corset

Hey everyone. This is my very first instructable so to get the hang of things i thought I'd do something quick, easy, and cool looking.

This is a corset style shirt, its not meant to function as a real corset but act more like an accessory.

Any comments would be appreciated.
Enjoy

Great job! I would take hours on this one cause I like my instructables slow and dirty. It's way cute. Please make many more instructables with lots and lots of pictures; TONS of pictures.

Thanks!

Perhaps consider doing the pins on the underside of the shirt hiding the clasp end. Just an idea to try. Well documented post. Welcome to the community.

thats what I was thinking, it would be easiest to put on the top inside out for this step

This is a wonderfully simple and cheap idea to add quite a bit of interest to a shirt. I like it!

I agree with Johnny Dangerously that you should put the pins on the inside of the shirt. It will hide the fact that it is not a permanent addition.

There is an apparently "common" type of body piercing called a corset piercing which uses this very same technique. Be warned, if you look it up, they are quite graphic and often in non-G-rated places!

Thank you for sharing your idea with us!

those style piercing are actually what made me think to do the same type of thing on a shirt :)

I may very-well be forced to do this down the backs of the legs of my wife's tight Jeans ... ;)
