Some more discoveries, this time from Etsy. A little research on ElasticCo, from whom i bought the beautiful flower hat.

“… Elodie makes accessories which change the body and challenge our idea of beauty. These accessories create a way of transforming oneself through more than clothes, of finding a different way of expressing beauty. Layers of cotton are strapped to the body to form extra padding on the hips and stomach, areas which women often try to hide.
