Sheri Jurnecka, a local attorney, is ROMANTASY's senior corset maker working with our clients since about 1992! You will be hard pressed to find anyone on the web with as much corset-making experience as Sheri, producing such a variety of designs with a comfortable fit. Expert at fitting full-figured clients, Sheri also delights in working with brides (see her Bridal Collection). Sheri is past Events Coordinator of the Greater Bay Area Costumers' Guild and a current active member. She has been making costumes since she was a teenager. She learned to make corsets as undergarments for her costumes, but her present interest is developing in the direction of fanciful corsets as a basis for building evening wear or imaginative costumes. Please inquire about original costume designs or Sheri's historical and fantasy costumes, posture collars, and gauntlets to coordinate with your corset. She specializes in unusual patterned and metallic leathers and PVC.
You can see Sheri modeling her own red and green metallic leather flame
Elizabeth corset and her imaginative "Russian Princess" overbust
corset ensemble. Her technique in leather is superb. 
Sheri will mirror-match special patterns in fabric for a dramatic look. |

Longline Valentine or Edwardian Overbust Victorian Corset This corset provides excellent back support and a longer, more elegant profile. Jill wearing the "Wedding Corset"- suitable as top of a wedding dress! |
This corset can be worn much like a vest or tank top because it has shoulder straps and covers the bust a la "Dangerous Liasons" style. It provides a very flat vertical profile, pushing the bust upwards. |
