Over the centuries, the corset has been a vital garment designed to
support and shape the fashions of the day, and has progressed from
being an undergarment to bold outerwear. This practical book
explains the full process of making a corset with clear instruction
and supporting photographs. Packed with information, it explores
methods of creating modern corsets, whilst acknowledging the
pioneering techniques of the past. Whatever your reason for
creating a corset- be it for theatre- re-enactment or personal wear
- this book is an invaluable guide to making a well-constructed,
figure-flattering garment. Includes: a list of helpful tools,
equipment and materials; step-by-step illustrated instructions
showing how to self-draft or personalize a commercially purchased
corset pattern; techniques showing how to correct an array of
fitting issues to produce a well-shaped corset; a selection of
corset-making methods, illustrated with photographs and, finally,
imaginative approaches to decorating and personalizing corsets.
There are three main projects showing the development of the
patterns and construction techniques to create gorgeous corsets.
