An exploration of the corset as a motif for textile artists, with
practical tips and examples.Used for the last 400 years to contort
the female body into a variety of fashionable silhouettes, the
corset has become a fascinating and hugely popular motif for modern
textile artists who wish to represent the female body using the
largely feminine traditions of textile and stitch. Beginning with a
step-by-step guide to constructing a simple fabric corset, the book
goes on to explore more contemporary and experimental approaches to
construction, from using unusual materials such as lace, metal,
paper and found fibres to up-cycling or repurposing existing
garments to make a statement. This practical guide is full of
exercises for creating intimate garments and wearable art in two-
and three-dimensions and is packed with inspiring work and
installations by other contemporary artists.
