Hope this is what you wanted,
Got a response!
I asked:
*Dear witchesbrewha,*
The red one looks rather different than the other picture; are the green
and white ones for sale also?
And received:
*Dear C,*
smaller ones are for sale, I will remove the picture is is confusing people.

BRAVA! No admission, but the desired results have been achieved.
Great strategy.

Well, she did take it down! I also had sent her an email telling her to take
it down and that I had reported her to Ebay. She hasn't responded to me at
all.
She has a different image now up - wonder if it belongs to her or not.

Anyone have good sources/instructions/suggestions for making the heads and

No, I haven't. The style suggests to me that it is a Victorian re-drawing of
a 16th
I would agree, more like Mary Queen of Scots - that's a very Stuart
face. And the collar with the little ruffled edge is right. But the
gown with the fur trim looks more Germanic to me - any thoughts, anyone?

That's a new portrait to me. And the headdress looks too late for
Holbein (he died in 1543). I'd want
I have a big book of Holbein's works, and that is no Holbein. Garment reminds
me of something I've seen elsewhere... a Norris redrawing if I remember right.
Ok, looked up Norris, and not in there. My guess is a Victorian reproduction of
a possibly lost portrait. But the dress style is more
The top bit of the dress - what looks like a partlet - reminds me a lot of
that painting of young Mary Stuart, the one where she is wearing all those
loverly black pearls. The head/headdress reminds me of the Widow Mary
Stuart, the portrait where she is all in black and white.
The rest
I don't know about anyone else, but this sure looks Victorian to me.

FWIW and IMHO it looks Victorian. Might have been based on a Holbein, but I
don't think the pic is 16th C.

If you are a size 22, these are not strong enough for a corset. I

I had made many corsets with duct ties. There's a big difference in
stiffness between duct ties and zip ties. Duct ties are with the air
conditioning stuff at home depot. They're about 1/2 wide and I usually buy
the ones that are 36 long. I love working with them because they're easy to
trim with

I'm about a size 22 and they worked fine for me. I just made certain
that the boning was pretty solid.

I have a very old Elizabethan pair that were made with the narrow zip ties. I
loved the thing. More than a decade of fair wear, and they lasted with only one
bone ever breaking, and it never worked through the canvas layers (2 layers).
The whole front is solid boning, and the back is every
I would guess that this is either an entirely Victorian construction
or a Victorian redrawing of someone's posthumous portrait of Mary I
(if it's not misidentified from the beginning). The style of the
sleeves is certainly later than Mary and Holbein, but the whole thing
is unconvincing
They do work well; they just have different properties than other
types of boning. Zip/cable ties provide much lighter support and
stiffening than steel of the same thickness. They bend more easily,
which makes them ideal for the areas of a corset where you want the
corset to shape itself to the

On this one, the mouth seems particularly 19th c. to me. There's a general
sense of proportions and modeling of hands and face
