Designer/Seamstress Jennifer Gonzalez, AKA Jupiter Moon 3, began designing and sewing corsets in 1997 in Oakland, California, while attending California College of the Arts. She learned to sew in 1985, when she was only eight years old. As a corset enthusiast with a limited budget, Jennifer couldn't afford to buy herself a custom corset. The internet was not widely used in 1997, and she was frustrated with the lack of patterns for corsets; they were nowhere to be found in local fabric stores at the time. While in college, Jennifer decided to take on the challenge of designing and building a corset for herself. With an idea and some material, she cut, pinned, sewed, then re-cut, pinned and sewed until she got a template for the perfect overbust corset. From there, the idea for Jupiter Moon 3 Corsets blossomed (originally called "Eight Thirty and Earth), and a hobby turned into this small, one woman business. The patterns just kept coming, with a lot of work, and even more patience.
Jupiter Moon 3 was "born" in 2001, when this hobby became a part time job for Jennifer. In 2005, it became a full time career. Jupiter Moon 3 now offers many designs, with different cuts, as requested by each individual client, for nearly unlimited styles. With limitless combinations of optional accessories, the client can "build" a one of a kind gorgeous work of art for Jupiter Moon 3 to create. Your dream corset come to life.
Jupiter Moon 3 is now located in San Antonio, Texas, and almost all sales are based on the internet. Corset sales are booming, and Jennifer has designed and constructed close to 1000 quality, original, one of a kind corsets in most of the fifty United States, Canada, England, Ireland, Scotland, France, Denmark, South Africa, Italy, Australia, Wales, Germany, and many other countries, provinces and territories.
