This lead to an interest, in learning how the silhouettes of various time periods were achieved through use of foundation wear. She will make garments based on any time period, but she has special experience with the Victorian era. The clothes can be adapted to modern day wear, and can be made as underwear or outerwear. A muslin mockup, which is mailed to the customer, is used during the process of making a custom fit corset. Personal fitting is also available in Chicago, and as an added service, she can visit the customer.

A large Danish supermarket chain has dropped all planned actions against one of their female employees. They claimed that her wear of tight corsets at work, reduced her ability to perform her functions. In return, the employee stated that she is accustomed to wear of corsets, both at work and in her spare time.  Furthermore she emphasized that she wore the corsets less tight at work, and that it has no influence on her working capability, or was similar to other clothing items or physical aspects of other people. Her union added, that their members underwear is a personal and private choice, in which the employer should and can not have any interest in. And if the employees choices had any influence on their work, it was regulated and protected by the "Equal rights act". In a press release, a spokeswoman from the company, wrote that the employee was valued, and performed her duties very satisfactory. The spokeswoman apologized and added that the incident a complete misunderstanding, and makes it clear that it is not company policy or mentality to interfere in the personal choice of their employees.
