Members rosiart Posted July 29, 2013 Members Report Posted July 29, 2013 You like leather guys? How about leather and chineese silk? Just one I made a few years ago, it's laced both back and front, easier to to dress yourself (customer request). Tina, this is really nicely done. No wrinkles and a great match of fabric and leather. Thanks for sharing. Quote Rosemary RosiArt's Blog
Members Tina Posted July 29, 2013 Members Report Posted July 29, 2013 (edited) Thank you all for looking and comments :-) I just thought it would be fun looking at something with a materialmix that isn't common. I have made a few of them but unlucky me had a computercrash and I lost tooooo manny photos than I care to count...I even had to nick photos from my old website (= smaller) to get some back, not fun. I've been following this post and would like to give some hinters from my rather long time as a maker of corsets. To use multiple layers of fabric is OK, but what you use is more important then how many. One of them needs to be a fabric that don't give any movements at all. When I made corsets I used: 1 layer that you see...In the picture = leather and silk. 1 layer of coutil. I know, it's expensive but if you put down the work, make sure it comes out the best it can be. 2 layers of 100% cotton fabric. These layers is the closest to the body = nice to wear :-) 1 "layer" of reinforcement band (1" to 1 1/4" wide) around the waistline, this is most important the keep the waist shape. I usually sew this to the lining layers. If you have any questions...Just ask here :-) Edited July 29, 2013 by Tina Quote "He who works with his hands is a laborer.

Members Tina Posted July 29, 2013 Members Report Posted July 29, 2013 I'm trying to get started on a mix of the white corset with over the bust top and not sure how I want to finish the bottom like the black or blue ,, any thoughts Think how it would be to wear the corset. The pointier and longer the bottom part is the harder it will be to do anything but standing. If you like the wavy like the black, draw your own and for commfort I would make it a wee shorter in the mid front at least or... Make sure the busk don't go all the way down (not beond the point of: top of the pelvic bone + 1/4 - 1/2 inch or so up). Quote "He who works with his hands is a laborer.

Members Lavendara Posted August 26, 2013 Members Report Posted August 26, 2013 Tina, I would eventually LOVE to be able to make something like that. It looks absolutely gorgeous. Quote
Members burlybuhda Posted August 14, 2014 Members Report Posted August 14, 2014 So I'm new to corsetry in general and I am making a custom one for my wife. If it goes well, I may continue to make them as special orders (always pays to have some extra money coming in) Though I am trying to figure out how to properly attach the side pieces together. Any suggestions? I am using an overlap seam to get a desired effect and 5-6 oz leather. Quote The reason I talk to myself is because I’m the only one whose answers I accept. - George Carlin
Members burlybuhda Posted August 14, 2014 Members Report Posted August 14, 2014 Here is the pattern I am working with. SOme of the extraneous lines don't matter. Planning to overlap the pieces about a half inch. Quote The reason I talk to myself is because I’m the only one whose answers I accept. - George Carlin
