Notice that I added some traditional embroidery on the bottom of the corset.
These are used to lock the bones into place.
But most corsets nowadays don't use them.
And I embroidered some black sequins and beads onto the lace. (it is hard to see on the picture but it gives the corset some extra sparkle).
Okay,
On to a new project!
this is really pretty! ♥♥♥
ReplyDeletewow what an incredible corset, you are very talented! i am thinking of making the dore very soon, and hopefully i will eventually be able to modify it for the straps the way you have done, its just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAll of that and then you go and show it lace wrong! No pulls at the waist and laced like a shoe, not a corset!!
ReplyDelete*Gasp*
But since it is such a beautiful piece it's forgivable...this time. *wink*
absolutely gorgeous(although you probably already know that :P) thanks very much for this tutorial!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! I can't wait to start my own. I've never been a very good seamstress, but hopefully this will turn out well. Wish me luck! :)
ReplyDeleteSo this corset is beautiful! You are amazingly talented. Thank you for the tutorial, although I am pretty sure that this is a bit out of my league!
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant set of instructions for corset making. I have learned a lot from reading this and am extremely greatful.
ReplyDeleteThankyou
p.s what a gorgeous corset!
Thank you for taking the time to blog about making the corset! I found your instructions were easy to understand and very helpful. The corset turned out beutifully. I'm sure your friend was very grateful and proud of her lovely corset. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI really appreciate your tutorial! I haven't gotten the chance to use it yet, but next time I actually have access to a modern sewing machine and a little bit of time, I hope to.
ReplyDeleteYour corset is beautiful, and I absolutely love the lace around the straps, though I, too, hope that it got/gets laced properly before being put on a human. It makes it much easier to tighten, if nothing else, and the line cleaner.
Your corset is exquisite! I especially love the color offset by the black lace. Gorgeous work!
ReplyDeleteVery nice work, and beautiful color choices!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your tutorial! I am about to embark on this exact project, so this was very helpful!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone for the nice words. and I'm aware of the improper lacing on the corset, however i prefer this type of lacing when taking pictures of the back closure.
ReplyDeleteThe lacing does look very tidy when it's done up as it is in the photo :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for posting all about how to make a corset; it helped me so much. Frankly, your entries are the most easily understood ones I've found on the internet! If you're interested, here's the corset (my first one) I made with the help of your great instructions: http://ilithyahime.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d2qidor
Your paper dresses are pretty incredible, too ;)
Wow! Just found your blog while researching for my own corset and I loved your attention to detail in your photos. You had some simple ideas that will make my own corset work better. Thanks for taking the time to document.
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is WOW!You've made sewing a corset so much more simple than anything else I could find on the internet!Thank you so much for taking the time to make a tutorial!I can not wait to get started on a corset project of my own.
ReplyDeleteYour post was very helpful, especially the description of making the front and back closures. My first corset adventure was a disaster. Now I feel inspired to have another go. Thanks for your blog!
ReplyDeleteHi Mr. Seamstress,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this tutorial + thank you for not pulling your blog off the net so that latecomers to it like myself can still benefit from your clear and precise instructions.
