JackPeter Report post Posted August 17, 2021 (edited) Hi everyone, I know it's also a matter of preference, but I'm curious. I've used 6/7 ounce leather for some gorgeous corsets I've made in the past. It gave a decent sturdiness to the body without being too thick. Curious what other people use, and the type of leather they'd recommend. I'd also like a recommendation for an ounce and leather on harnesses. I've used a 4 ounce in the past and it was comfortable for the wearer. Thanks Edited August 18, 2021 by JackPeter Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spacedog Report post Posted August 18, 2021 I made a corset a while back. I don't recall the weights exactly. I think the front panels were maybe 4-5 oz. but I had folded the edges over and then overlapped them. I know the back panels were thicker because I wanted to ensure the eyelets wouldn't tear out when lacing up the back. I think they were maybe 7-8 oz. and over lapped too. Here is a link to that project. Painted corset Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haha, definitely not the type to judge weight, but their waists are typically small. Usually a size 4 to 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
