I hate to ask this question, but is there any way to buy deer skin that has already been treated this way? Simply because I'm not experienced in these techniques and I don't want to ruin a large sheet of leather and then be stranded for material for my major work. Also how heavy is this leather? And would I be able to boil it to stiffen it? Thank you so much

This would be perfect for the corset top, although I'm worried that the corset would restrict movement immensely, Can the degree to which the leather is hardened during the boiling process be controlled at all?

I've thought about doing this, but I'm worried about being able to find the specific colour I need and then try and find it again in another coat as I would definitely need more than one (The skirt I'm making is very large), but I will definitely consider doing this for the corset, thankyou very much

Hello everyone, I'm new at this, so sorry if I ramble a little I'm a year 12 textiles student and for my major work I'm crating a Steampunk inspired leather dress. The dress will have a large skirt and a corset top. I want the leather to be quite sturdy, but I'm working with a regular sewing machine so it can't be too thick. I'm really just wondering if anyone can offer any advice on what sort of leather I should think about using (actually any advice at all would be hugely helpful). I need the leather to be supple, to allow freedom of movement, but I also want it to look quite sturdy. All advice will be taken and considered, I'd really appreciate any help you can give Thankyou.
