Work Corset - Inspired by Carhartt Work Clothing
Jake von Slatt — Tue, 09/08/2009 - 15:51
San Francisco artist Nifer Fahrion created this work clothing inspired corset to wear at Burning Man this year. I particularly like the cordless drill holster, the one I have clips to my belt and does nothing but pull my pants down.
From Nifer's site:
For the past year, I've desired to create a garment which blends the femininity and elegance of a corset with the durability and ruggedness of a workbelt. Recently, I shared my idea with the talented seamstress and designer Robynne Winchester of Tulgey Wood Designs. She was instantly excited about the concept and agreed to collaborate to make it a reality.

You are totally right about the cordless drill holster! On tool belts, drill holsters are **SO** heavy that they are a bit troublesome & inconvenient. But on a corset, with the snug fit and support of the steel boning, all that weight is kept in place and is actually quite comfortable. The idea of a work corset almost seems counterintuitive, but it works quite well.
Cheers! :D
