I would highly recommend them!! As others have said Ann owns hundreds of corsets, and therefore has a good eye for a quality corset. The designers she uses are quality driven... Prices are reasonable, and Ann is very good about taking all your measurements and really making sure you are satisfied. If I could afford another corset this would be the first place I would go to! Good luck...

DG is fun. . .kinda goth, kinda hip/trendy. they are both wonderful and i hope they continue to be very sucessful.

She takes all measurements and does all the fittings in person, in her charming and corset-filled living room. She is great about making adjustments as long as they are requested in a timely manner (IE, rmemmbering to mention it to her when you get the finished product, not two months later). In fact, have ht e finished roduct shipped to her so that the final fitting is satisfactory to both of you.

However, if you look at their website you will see that they outsource their work so it's essentially mail-order, with no opportunity for in-person fittings. If you're in the SF Bay Area, I would recommend Dark Garden ... the work is gorgeous and you can be fitted in person.

They and Dark Garden are a couple of the rather long-term vendors in the SF Bay Area; so of longevity means anything to you... - Steve Wed, 16 Jul 2008 10:24:18 GMT http://corsets.tribe.net/thread/0ec2a11c-7ee9-452e-81fa-c44654dc25bc#3b3d8916-47c0-4423-a8f1-258e677f693c Steve 2008-07-16T10:24:18Z http://corsets.tribe.net/thread/0ec2a11c-7ee9-452e-81fa-c44654dc25bc#6a81c23d-ccf5-4a69-bb4f-77176736c96c Anyone have any experience buying form this SF-based company?
