Due to the impending holiday season, current economical situations, and
a philanthropic effort to clothe the world in corsets that fit,
Enchanted is offering $100 off of any custom corset ordered in the
month of September.
That's right! $100 off a corset made just for your body (or, the body
of someone you love very much). If you have been coveting such a
garment with the regret that you simply can't afford it, hopefully this
sale makes the corset of your dreams a reality. All you have to do is
order the corset during the month of September, which involves 1/2 down
and getting your measurements taken or submitted to Lisa Marie. You
can do that, right? If not, contact me anyway, and maybe we can work
something out.
So, come on! Don't wear that same tired old thing out for another night - contact Enchanted today!
Valid only to inhabitants of planet Earth, not to be combined with any
other offers, and void where prohibited by the laws of physics.
