For a very long time, One Wilde Knight was in Seattle, WA. Since we initially listed them, they've moved to Portland (our loss is their gain), but they are still doing gorgeous custom corsetry. With a background in period-authentic work and costume work, and decades of experience, your corset dreams can come true. Work is all done by appointment only, because it's made specifically for you. The side has a slideshow gallery of work, as well as phone and email contacts and basic pricing info. Highly recommended, I've seen enough of this work in person to know how wonderful it is. - Jane
