Artifice Clothing is one of those goth-y cult fave labels that seem to have been around forever. They’ve been crafting custom fetish-inspired PVC corsets, lingerie, and apparel out of their Toronto studio since 2004. All purchases on their website made to order, while their Etsy store sells samples and pre-made pieces. I remember seeing their work probably a decade ago, but Instagram reintroduced us when a photo of their Clear […]
With so many measurements required for a well-fitting bra, it’s no wonder that bras have general size standards that other types of clothing lack.

While I don’t see that changing (my life isn’t interesting enough on its own to sustain a blog), I finally feel comfortable showing more of myself here. Some of you may remember it took me years to even share my real name, so it’s been quite a long journey towards this modest goal.
