Delicious and Schmitz... in the grips of an inspiration.
Delicious
Corsets was founded by Psydde Delicious and Amy Schmitz in 1995. Delicious
is a graduate of Philadelphia College of Textiles and Science where
he studied fashion and textile design. Schmitz, who also attended Philadelphia
Textile, has been sewing and designing for over 15 years in both Philadelphia
and San Francisco.
Delicious
Corsets began as personal garments for Schmitz and Delicious. "We
wanted something sturdy enough for waist-training and something wearable
in both fun and formal situations." As Delicious and Schmitz continued
creating their one of a kind pieces, it became clear that there was
a niche for their work -- corsets that were both functional as waist-training
tools and interesting enough to don as outer wear.
The current
Delicious catalog features styles modelled after authentic corset designs
from the past as well as completely new and innovative designs unlike
anything seen before. Delicious Corsets offers a selection which can
accommodate someone of any gender and body type. Delicious Corsets are
made to order, allowing our customer the choice of fabric, fabric color(s),
and other options to create a truly one of a kind piece. Feel free to
contact Delicious with any questions. We look forward to working with
you.
WHAT
PEOPLE ARE SAYING....
"Dearest
Amy and Psydde, I don't even know where to begin - the corset and kimono
you fashioned for me are fabulous. The fit is exquisite - I'd never
worn anything beyond a waist cincher so the lacing and tightening of
my Delicious Corset was a new experience - sort of frightening but ultimately
lovely! The design as a whole is gorgeous - beyond my expectations.
I felt like a GODDESS at the party - the complements were overwhelming.
I can't thank you two enough for your artistry and care. Looking forward
to my next corset."

"Thank
you soooooo much for the wonderful corset. I am absolutely in love with
it... It was a huge hit. About 85 people showed up for the party that
night at the club and around 40 must have commented on it or asked me
where I got it from. I proudly said Delicious Corsets in Philly and
they were so excited, particularly the larger women who said they had
had their corsets made for them just by measurements taken and how they
wish theirs had turned out as well as mine. I recommended you highly
and can't wait to get another one."

"What
wonderful designs and creativity! I went through the insect and circus
collections, and I cannot even believe my eyes. Corsets have been stuck
in this Victorian slump forever, and you have brought them out of their
dark ages and into the now. Congrats to you and your partners. "

"Thank
you so much! My corset is awesome! So fast and so perfect! Thank you
so much for all your attention to detail. I didn't want to take it off!
I've already sent 3 brides to be your way TODAY... I appreciate the
fabric samples, and the mock-up. They were a HUGE help. Thanks again!"
Happy Customer,

"You
guys are amazing! I've just picked up my "June Bug" corset
and its incredible. Great construction, fabulous fit. It's really quite
breath taking. Thank you so much.."

"...
I think the corset is gorgeous. I'm beside myself with admiration -
it's beautifully cut and sewn, a pleasure to look at and to touch....What
really thrills me is to have found corsets, which although visibly faithful
to their origins don't look like they accidentally stepped out of a
museum or a costume ball. Not that I don't love turn-of-the-century
outifts, but just as most other people I don't really have much occasion
to wear them. Your corsets, on the other hand, I can wear in almost
any formal or semi-formal circumstances, i.e., just about every day."

"We
are delighted with the corset, very well made and lovely. We will be
ordering our second one in the next day or so, as we discuss specifications
and will look to you for more in the near future. ...For now, we just
want to say that the fabric, design and workmanship is lovely, truly,
and thank you... Much care, love, and detail was put into this corset
and we could not be more pleased."

"
I wanted to let you know that I received my corsets and they are amazing!
The fabrics and construction are beautiful, and they fit perfectly.
Thank you so much."
--vanessa
"...I
am thrilled with the wonderful quality of the work done on this garment.
The fabric is sturdy, the stays and hooks are strong, it was laced perfectly.
She loves it! the only thing she complains about is how TIGHT I lace
it up..."
--jab
"My
corset arrived and ohmy, it is even more beautiful than I'd hoped! ...
I am in love with it. Your workmanship is truly beautiful. I will be
telling all of my friends about this work of art and suggesting they
come to you!!"
--cheryl
"...I
received the new corset several weeks ago... this first custom corset
is absolutely beautiful. I didn't realize that the difference between
a custom and generic corset would be so dramatic in appearance and comfort...
I have to say I was also impressed with how you two took the extra effort
to go over these measurements as often as it took to get it right, and
explain the details of what I could expect...I recognized it as the
way I treat my customers and it was nice to be on the other end of that
professional approach. Needless to say, you have earned another very
loyal customer.

"...what
can I say about the work Psydde and Amy do....it's awesome...the colors
and fabrics are gorgeous and unusual.....the designs are often very
unique.....I especially LOVE the ladybug corsets....I highly recommend
anyone who is going to make an investment in a well made corset to contact
them and have one made custom."
