    SPECTACULAR! Historical sewing channels like yours really enhance the beauty of handcraft, helps people actually see how much work goes into a well constructed piece. Beautiful!

    If you paid yourself minimum wage, took into consideration the cost of materials, and then doubled for profit margin, how much would this cost, if it were for sale? I would think at least $1000 USD, which feels right, this is true craftsmanship!

      Perhaps Ms. Cat needs to join or organize a corset makers union like in the late 1800s or early 1900s ?

      Dude, arena black is the best free resource online. They aren’t “historically accurate”, but they take you step by step and have and have tons of free patterns. I’m about to make a Dolores :)

    i think thats my favorite silhouette of corset, and fashion for that matter, its very shapely and extreme in its own way, but the curves all flow so nicely that it almost looks natural anyway

    Great job! The embroidery on the side panels really enhances the optical illusion and it is so beautiful.

    Yet another gorgeous project! You make it all look so simple. My daughter bought the book on corsetry and left it here before we all went into lockdown - I may actually have a proper look at it and see how difficult it actually is :-)

    Wow this was absolutely stunning!! The finished pieces is truly marvellous. I hope you have a good thimble, that hand embroidery was hardcore!! I say this as someone who has done 200+ hours of hand embroidery on a denim jacket - the things we do for our hobbies! I would love to make a corset as beautiful as this one day. ❤
