This is my attempt at creating a late nineteenth century corded corset. I found the pattern quite challenging but I feel the result is well worth it, especially when I finally get around to doing the flossing.The design is probably not quite right for bridal wear, but I think it would be fabulous worn beneath period costume.
I may try and create a very similar shaped, but much simpler corset that I can use beneath some of my bridal dresses as the shape is so flattering. The majority of the dresses I make are corseted, as it creates such a flattering foundation.
After gaining a B.A. Hons in Costume Interpretation at Wimbledon School of Art, I decided to use my skills doing what I really love. Corsetry is one of my passions. I love experimenting with design, shape and construction techniques, using corsetry to create foundation garments beneath gowns, as well as statement pieces.
