[Wet Formed Breast Cups For A Corset]

There might be an alternative to wet forming - why don't you look at Terraflex?

Thanks dirkba, this looks cool and I am going to check it out.

Well Lucky, if it were me, for the breast pieces I would use something a little thicker so that there is more material to stretch. Probably something like 8/9oz. Make a form from wood, thoroughly case it, then using a glass slicker, of similar tool, work from the tip down to the base, with persistence the leather will thin out as it stretches. Just be patient and keep at it, you will get there.

Hi Bob

I looked at dirkba's idea and will try your as well, I tried to mould the 2 ox stuff but maybe it was not wet enough, Ill post some photos of my attempts.

[Wet Formed Breast Cups For A Corset]

Hello

I am new to this forum, I am recently back into leather work, and my wife wants me to make her a leather corset.

I bought the Tandy corset pattern, then modified it to fit and removed the breast area (made it an underbust) because my wife has a small waist, but DD breasts.

I want to wet mould the leather cups but am not sure if I can and not sure how to get the leather to stretch that much (DD) size.

I am using veg tan, about 3 ounce leather for the corset, should I use the same for the breast cups, or is what I am trying to achieve impossible?

If it is then any ideas as to where I can get a pattern to make the cups with Darts?

I really want to avoid the idea of creating a shelf for her breasts, I want to make a shape fitting Corset, to accentuate her.

Thanks in advance, great sit as well.
