Kathi Posliff has started her corset! She stenciled a pattern onto pre-cut waist cincher pieces then stiched along the pattern that she had traced onto the leather and it's under layer of gold silk.

you can see Kathi's corset and about 35 others at Farthingales Corset Fashion Show during the Creativ Festival in Toronto October 22nd.

Just one corset..of many

Production for the Corset Fashion Show is well underway! This is just one of many corsets that will be featured and it's not quite finished - it's also not on a proper sized mannequin.

This corset was created by starting with Vogue Patterns dress block/sloper. How I did it will be outlined in my second corset making book which unfortunatly will likely not hit stores until 2013. It's made from deep magenta Chinese brocade and features a hidden busk.
