About The Proprietress
Laurie Tavan's obsession with sewing comes as something of a surprise to many people, including herself. She trained in the life sciences at Cornell University, diving into study of ornithology and marine ecology with great enthusiasm. Nobody would have expected that just a few years after leaving school for the "real world," she would be on another track entirely, having fallen completely in love with corsetry and dressmaking. She brings to these realms potent blend of rigorous historical research and free-spirited artistic drive.
She soon branched out into modern formal wear and custom corsetry. Approaching all her work with her signature single-minded zeal, personifying the concept that "anything worth doing is worth overdoing."
