Mine is going to be a late Edwardian corset with what looks like fairly straight seams so this is the perfect method for me, I’ll have to watch you a few times - just because I love watching seamstresses do their thing - and also to embed much needed information into my noodle. Thanks so much for this, I feel heartened and inspired to get on with it.

I’m beginning to think that modern society has regressed in terms of functional underwear. I’ve tried spanx (just for the waist fat smoothing control) and it was the most horrible, painful 15 minutes of my life (I ordered a size larger than their sizing recommendation). I’ve also tried a cheap $30 corset, and it was way more comfortable than the spanx, though it was so ill fitting to my proportions that I never wore again after testing it for 45 minutes.

Take care to choose a material that breathes; linen or cotton is best for this, as silk doesn’t breathe quite as well and finding wool that is both lightweight enough and strong enough for a corset is likely to be impossible. Of course, wearing a cotton or linen chemise underneath is also essential - no synthetic fibres allowed there either.

This video changed my life. Seriously. For years, YEARS, I always did my corsets using some variation of the third method, with three layers of fabric: outer, duck canvas/coutil/etc in the middle, then lining. I'd stitch the seam allowance down on the middle layer for the boning. So much work to do all that, especially with the many-seamed complicated corset patterns I loved making. My junior collection in fashion school I made FIVE corsets using the slowest methods. All this time I could have been using method 2 to create a quicker sturdy corset with topstitching like I always wanted to figure out how to make. I'm furious no one taught me that before. I'm so happy to learn this method I could cry.

I've made a corset once, and it was part of my wedding dress. The last version had 3 layers. I think? It might have been 4... The layer touching me was a simple soft white cotton, raw edges enclosed in the corset. Then I had a very strong cotton (raw sides enclosed but facing lining) on which I sewed all the structural parts; bones, waisttapes, etc. Then on the outside I had the pretty stuff (satin & lace), again raw sides enclosed. So basically comfy layer - structural layer - pretty layer. There might have been an extra cotton layer somewhere but I can't remember...

If you make/buy a pattern that has too much room in the bust, just pinch it out in your first mockup and add those changes to the pattern for the next mockup. You can totally have a pretty fashion fabric, just flat line it to the sturdy/coutil layer and follow the 'single layer' method from there!

This is extremely timely as I finish my very first corset. Would love to see some tips on rescuing badly installed grommets. (Guess why? :P )

Making a corset seems so hard, but then you just whip up 3 in a row! I'm pretty sure I need a lot more practice sewing in general before I try one.

Thank you for making the task of corsetry look a little more straight forward! In one of your recent videos you talked about how you thought creating had to be done in the original, historical methods and you got overwhelmed so you simplified and did a pattern. I needed that so much, and then to follow up with this and make it seem very straight forward and simple, inspired me! Time to get a pattern and give it a go! Question, what do you do if you're bigger in the tummy than the bust or hips (4 babies will do that)? Also, where is the best resource for stays and corset patterns?
@MorganDonner4 жыл бұрын
Add some to the lower front panels if you need to. Definitely try a mock-up first! There are many corset pattern sellers, and so many different time periods, it's hard to recommend just one! I'd say google around, and read reviews to see which might be the best fit for what you are looking for.

@emilysullivan40313 жыл бұрын
Thank you for this! I’m working on an 1880s outfit, starting with the underclothes, and next up is the corset. I’m leaning towards the bag method, due to probably needing to add gores at the hips and wanting to add cording under the arms, but it was great getting to see how each method was done and how they differ.

I make a lot of Victorian inspired corsets so I use the double welt method. Just a tip for anyone that wants it - if the bust seems to start too low and the top line doesn't lie across the nipple line, that's an indication that the pattern is too short in the waist for you, and that you have to adjust the pattern vertically for a better fit.
