Ah, sorry, yes, that's just my message to starkad.
I was just asking why these two pictures have such a bad quality in the shop and whether I accidentally sent him the files like this.

And I call the corsets "corsage", because I don't really know the difference. :qoops:

In German we have the words "Korsett" and "Corsage" for the same item. I think in English "corsage" referes to some kind of flower pins?

... well, I think both items are just lovely ...

... and yes, corsage is the flowers you either pin on the guys jacket thingy or the flower wrist band thingy ... we don't usually use them here in PR, so it's also confusing ... we don't even have a translation for them, we use the anglisims corsage and corset ...

I have made more items, just wait till starkad finds the time to add them! :qh:

... yeay ... I wonder what they are ... :qsmr:

Die anderen sehen gut aus, aber die sind vÃ¶llig verpixelt! Habe ich dir das so geschickt?!

Du hast sie mir in der falschen GrÃ¶ÃŸe geschickt. Musste sie verkleinern und hatte keine anstÃ¤ndige Software dafÃ¼r. Habs jetzt nochmal gemacht, sollten in Ordnung sein... :qsob:

Don't apologize. I was just joking with you! If I were that curious, I could have run it through Babelfish.

And that explains the corset/corsage thing. In English, we generally do use "corsage" to mean a small arrangement of flowers generally worn as pins or bracelets to formal events. But I just looked in the dictionary, and the second meaning is "the bodice or waist of a dress."
So I guess you're right in English or German. Although I've never ever heard anybody use the word "corsage" to mean that. Maybe it is an obsolete use.

In any case, it sounds much prettier than "corset." But maybe that is just because I associate "corsage" with flowers and "corset" with pain. They may look beautiful, but they are just no fun to wear!
