Corsetry has long been a passion of Andrea's. She loves accentuating curves to create an irresistible vision. Andrea adores blending modern with historical techniques and whimsical inspirations, using vintage notions with unique and beautiful textiles in her sewing. Her garments meander through the realms of fetish, masquerade, burlesque, historical recreation, steampunk, pirate and faerie faire. She enjoys sharing heirloom techniques, to create garments that will last, while also using alternative materials for budget-conscious clients. Andrea has over a dozen years of sewing under her belt, including seven years of corsetry experience, and technical training in the costuming department at Theatre UBC. She loves sharing her expertise with other sewers, offering workshops in and around Vancouver BC and Seattle Washington. Her portfolio is available at www.facebook.com/lusciouspearldesigns
