I sewed a historical reproduction of a stunning black Victorian corset, from Jill Salen's "Corsets" book! Hand-made lace, pattern-making, cording? Keep watching to learn all of the details of this sewing project!
Join me on the journey of creating the pattern using an entirely new drafting technique, making a mock-up, sewing the final corset, and replicating the original, stitch for stitch! This corset contains loads of beautiful, but complicated historical details like cording, intricate bone flossing, and even hand-made lace!
Watch until the end to learn a Victorian corset lacing trick - the secret to achieving that hourglass historical silhouette, without waist reduction!
