Of Corset!

You may think that corsets are a thing of the past, but Diana Li and Flora Cheung have other ideas about the boned underpinnings. The pair of entrepreneurs operate Front & Company, at 3772 Main St., where they sell custom-made corsets by Melanie Talkington of Lace Embrace Atelier. Talkington is inspired by historical examples of corsetry. Personal fittings can be made by appointment. The store specializes in vintage and contemporary consignment clothing for men and women, plus home accessories and collectibles. For information, phone 604 879-8431.
