Questions about Moresca.

The quality is good but be sure to try on in person - I had a moresca bodice (The SB Brocade actually), and even *I'm* too short waisted for it (And I'm pretty darn short waisted). I do want to get one of their pirate or max 2 bodices though @_@.

I have an SB and have mixed feelings about it. I love the fabric and color, and it's figure flattering. It runs small though, and is a bit too snug. I don't recommend this particular style for well endowed gals, because it's cut lower at the bust and you might get overhang.

*giggle* I think that mighta been my problem. It was a bodice emergency though.

Ooh, my new Odd Bodkin should be here todayish!

Anyone have a Khadija bodice? I've really been wanting one for the last few years... this year still probably won't be the year, but maybe next... but I don't want to buy one at all if it's not going to work for me. I am 5'9", 140lb and 34B-C and I've rarely found a bodice that a) is long enough for my very long waist (which is why I'd like to try a shorter bodice like the Khadijia), b) can give me some cleavage. Any expert advice?

(I did recently purchase a Crimson Gypsy bodice with side lacing, which helps with the cleavage. Without side lacing, I find that in order to get it tight enough around my chest, I have to lace it so tight around my belly that it cuts into my hips and stomach and makes kind of an upside-down muffin look out of my belly fat. Very unflattering! But the Crimson Gypsy seems to be much better. Just looking for a different style with the Khadija.)

Charlotte Rowan, My daughter has a Khadija bodice and she just loves it. She says its very comfortable to wear, not to mention the girls at Moresca can give you a ton of ideas on how to wear it with other pieces.

Thanks, Lady Joyce Ann. It looks great on her! Maybe I'll get one for next year...

My mother owns 2 bodices from Moresca and I know that she has had them for YEARS.  They are extremely sturdy and I believe that the boning is metal in hers...and they are made very well.  I think her's are all different panels, maybe 5-6 panels made individually each with boning.

I have a Max and I love it!

I am bad girl though I just rinse it out after a weekend at faire and it still fits like the day it got here even after a baby!

I really wish that they would do a pirate or a fairy bodice without all the bits and bobs on them though

My friend and I went in moresca with the intent to purchase a khadja for her... she is around a C, leaning into a d, but she's very very slender and long waisted, and the khadja to get the right Lift, and not hang off her, wasn't large enough to cover the bottoms of her breasts without showing a lot, to get them fluffed up and the bodice lifting not squshing, she might as well not had one on, because it was completely cupless basically.. So I would recommend an in person purchase there.

Does anyone know if you can turn the Max into a corset?
