So, now the fabrics are all ready, the pattern pieces cut and ironed, or ironed and cut, and I should reveal which corset I'm making! I'm returning to my first and favourite basic Victorian corset pattern by Laughing Moon Mercantile (http://www.lafnmoon.com). I first made the Dore version many, many years ago as a 1-day class at Costume College in Van Nuys Calif. (www.costumecollege.org), taught by the owner/designer of Laughing Moon, Joann Peterson. She was so patient with us, newbies all, and kept encouraging us that we really WOULD finish by 5pm - and she was right! It was very empowering and I've been hooked on corsets ever since.
So, here's the pattern info - check it out, because it is very do-able, completely historically accurate and ripe for adjustments, additions and accessorizing!
