I stumbled across a new-to-me etsy shop, VeneficaCorsetry.com (http://www.veneficacorsetry.com/bodicesandcorsets.html), and as I was browsing through all the pretties (http://www.etsy.com/shop/VeneficaCorsetry?ref=seller_info)... it started to look sort of familiar! Her work (and her model) looks a lot like the work of former forum member Lorraine (http://www.renaissancefestival.com/forums/index.php?action=profile;u=828), who had a business called Bodices By Bonnie. Does anyone remember her? She made that exquisite blue "Snow Queen" bodice that was trimmed in white fur. Alas, her photo links in the Projects threads seem to be defunct. I would love to know if she's "our Lorraine," though. Wouldn't that be fun?!
Hi Gem! It wasn't me, though those are lovely :) I do have an Etsy shop, http://www.etsy.com/shop/BonnieLorraine (http://www.etsy.com/shop/BonnieLorraine) and a facebook page https://www.facebook.com/TheGoldenThimbledSeamstress (https://www.facebook.com/TheGoldenThimbledSeamstress) but nothing really ren faire related up. If you want to see the next incarnation of the snow queen bodice, here it is, though as of yet it is currently unfinished (I got a bit distracted with sewing Christmas gifts).

I saw something very similar at a shop at TRF (TexRenFest). The corset pictured under custom work is one I'm pretty sure is a close copy of an older style Moresca.
I can't tell you anything about the costumer but you might see if TRF's vendor pages are still up from 2012.
