Forest Fae Worbla Corset

Tree bark ridges climb the bodice while miniature hand-painted mushrooms nestle into patches of moss, turning rigid thermoplastic into something that looks grown rather than built. Alicia Mermaid shapes Worbla over a mannequin with a heat gun, carves bark detail into EVA foam panels, and sculpts lightweight mushrooms from foam clay. The whole piece laces up with eyelets in back, so it fits like a real corset — endlessly adaptable to whatever enchanted theme you dream up next.
