When my Mum was first diagnosed with terminal cancer, alongside my then full time office based career, I enrolled into night college to study corsetry as a focus to help with the grief I felt. Wearing and selling mass manufactured corsets had been a passion of mine for over 15 years. My Mum taught me to use her sewing machine when I was a child and had been a great fashion inspiration to me growing up, she had a great sense of style when she was younger. Thankfully she was able to see my first end of year show and the creativity I had discovered. Since she passed away in 2012, I decided to turn that learning into my own small business and I now create contemporary corsets, to mould to and gently support the figure.

I've created this corset, my Dragon Corset design, to honour the memory of a friend I made last year, Dawn, who lost her battle with a rare form of cancer at the end of May this year. Please see the linked page for her story. 

Today, in honour of my Mum and Dawn, this corset is up for auction, with all the money raised being donated equally to Dawn's charity Pseudomyxoma Survivor, and Cancer Research UK in memory of my Mum.

By giving a minimum donation of just £5 to this page or my linked 'Pseudomyxoma Survivor' Just Giving page, you will be entered into a draw to win this corset.

Please ensure that when leaving your donation/prize draw entry, you tick the box stating 'I'm happy to be contacted by Powdered and Waisted Corsetry'. This ensures I have a means of contacting you should you be the lucky winner. Your details will be used for this reason only, to arrange delivery of the corset.

If you have chosen to remain publically anonymous on this page, Powdered and Waisted Corsetry will uphold your wishes and your details will not be published.

Powdered and Waisted Corsetry will not collect or keep any details left here, for any other purpose than for the prize draw. 

You can enter as many times as you like in multiples of £5, meaning if you donate £10 or £20, you will have 2 entries or 4 respectively. There is no limit to the amount of entries until the total for each charity is reached. Once the total target for both charities is reached, the draw will take place and the winner announced. This total amount reflects the normal retail value of this corset.
