Finally finished the gentleman's steampunk corset


Recommended Posts

Posted

I like it, but it would have to be a lot rounder to fit me.;)

I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with.

Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day.

From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.

LOL... So instead of the hour-glass shaped panels they would be more diamond shaped...

This looks awesome! How did you go about making the pattern? Is there a place you learned how to do it? :) I'm trying to figure out a way to make a pattern for a female corset and feel pretty intimidated by it.

There is at least one good sewing pattern for a woman's corset, by Butterick, B5662.  It could probably be adapted for use with leather.

Making some progress...:)

Nice steampunk  theme. :thumbsup:

Thanks but thank god when I tried it on that no one was in front of me when I sat down rivets can only hold the fat back for so long, one came shooting off screaming freedom and if someone would have been infront of me they would have had a hole clean though them!!!

There are two methods well three, you can go on etsy and find corset patterns and use those, you can use the duct tape method (my perfered method) and you can learn to draft corsets (I still suck at that lol)  you can go to http://foundationsrevealed.com/ 

they have a shit ton of articles on corsets, how to draft them everything. Though aimed mostly at women as there are not a lot of calls for male corsets and they are actually constructed different conserning  shape

Like I previously said. There are ways to attach buckles using rivets that are more secure and will indeed hold the back fat my friend! Al Stohlman sets the benchmark in his books.

As this was a test with shit leather I was not too worried about it and just used the rivets I had on hand which to be honest were a little small for what I needed but it was a fun project
