About me

Who I am
My name is Sasha Chanchikova. I live in the Republic of Khakassia (a region of Russia located in the Southern Siberia). I've been a hobbyist seamstress for many years before starting my journey in professional corsetry in 2018. Fantasy escapes and movie costumes are my primary source of inspiration, and I would be happy to equip you for your adventures.
My credentials
Corsetry is a precise science. The stakes are higher than in other types of sewing, because a poorly constructed corset can do more harm than most other garments. This is why I believe that formal training is important, and I'm happy to prove that I've received mine.
