Class started up again on monday and since then I have made one corset and started on a pattern for another. Because I am going to school for costume design it is only fitting that I learn to make the actually garments (and undergarments) that create the lovely silhouette for each period.
The first corset has 3 layers of fabric(coutil, coutil, fashion fabric)
All 32 pieces of coutil cut out and waiting for the last layer of fashion fabric to be cut out.
Once the pieces were cut out, I flatted the fashion fabric to one layer of coutil to strength it.
Then I started sewing the pieces together :)
Pieces sewn into ¼ bodies
Some pattern matching ^_^
After that I started preping for the instalment of the busk :)
Lining it up and marking the opposite side for the placement of the knobs.
I didn't take as many progress pictures for this one, but I will have more for my second one.
All the bones waiting to be filed and placed.
So many grommets and 5 meters of lacing.
Before my mini photo shoot :)
And the finished shot :)
I will hopefully have some more pictures going up soon for detail shots but for now I will leave you with these :)
