"Winter is the perfect time to refresh your wardrobe! I will certainly have some fitness goals on my list, but this year, would you resolve with me to look and feel beautiful every step of the way? Adding this beautiful crochet lace corset belt to a favorite maxi dress or tunic will help pull together your look and flatter your figure while you work on those New Years’ Resolutions. You’ll need a small amount (less than half) of a skein of Premier Cotton Fair Yarn, a G 4.0mm crochet hook, and a length of ribbon or cord to tie the corset front. I used a long strand of braided faux sued cord for a fun, boho inspired look. This pattern was designed as a part of the Make it for Me CAL hosted through Elk Studios Handcrafted Crochet Designs."

Although this was designed as a fashioned accessory, the first thing I thought of was what a great costume piece this would be. My family has long been involved in local dramatic societies, so Im always seeing any theatrical potential in found objects. This clever belt is easy to work up and completely customizable. This is great because we are never sure what size an actress might be!

Perfect for a sexy aunt or mom. The one who should get this gift should have a small waistline and no bulges. Or else it will ruin the look of the belt. Can be done in different colors of your choice.

The next season ahead is Spring and this clam-shell lace corset belt would be pretty to pair with a floral dress. I am sure we all have that one flouncy dress that this would go well with. I would probably select not to include the flower on mine but it could be an accessory on certain occasions.

For those of us that still wear belts, this is one to add to the collection. I like that the width is thick and the clamshell lace design really shows up. This particular belt is not meant to be anything other than for beauty and no matter what color you select, this will get a lot of wear.
