Description
This exciting 2 day course will introduce you to the fascinating world of Corsets. It is suitable for those of you with some experience of garment making. Using an authentic Victorian pattern I will show you how to make a fabulous multi- layered, lined corset which includes spiral steel boning, a front fastening busk and back lacing.
You will concentrate on obtaining a perfect fit by using a range of toiles to take into consideration posture as well as size. Several fittings of the corset will be made – some without boning, and some with bones inserted, to ensure that the corset will fit your body perfectly.
Bring along I metre of your chosen fabric (eg. Silk Dupion, Taffeta, Duchesse Satin) and any favourite lace, ribbons etc. to create your beautiful bespoke corset. All other fabrics, trimmings and specialist components will be provided.
Please also bring matching thread.
Good machine skills are required as stitching lines will be visible.
This is a two day course running from 10am to 6pm on both days.
