This is one of two corsets I made recently after taking apart a vintage corset I had bought a few years ago and making a pattern from it. It was an awesome exploration process. I used fine herringbone coutil 74-1140-01 which was the exact same pattern as the vintage coutil and made mine a single layer corset just like the vintage one. The original bones were a selection of bailene and spring steel but I used spiral bones for the bailene ones. I included garters as the original had them. I tried to replicate all elements and everything but the lace came from Farthingales Corset Supplies
This is terrific. Is a pattern available for sale?
ReplyDeleteNo, I've only just copied it but Truly Victorian has an Edwardia pattern out already which is very good. You can find it in the pattern section of www.farthingales.on.ca and there's information on it in the "Tips n Tricks" section.
