I just got my first corset and I’m really excited. Have you got any tips about doing the laces yourself?

Oh wow, it’s been a long time since I’ve gotten any messages on this sideblog.  Here’s a helpful video tutorial from Orchard Corset, but beyond that I don’t have any tips personally.  If anyone has anything to add feel free to comment though!

So excited! Just wanted to share my newest corset. I’ve been waiting on this gorgeous thing from Isabella Corsetry for a month now after putting off buying it for years and snagging it on sale. This is straight out of the box and over a t-shirt because I couldn’t contain myself. 

These are so well made and I’m in love with the fit. This is their “Josephine” model in Sage Mum. I could have probably sized down to a 20″, but should have the 22″ closed in a couple of weeks after I season it.

Heyo, I got a question, if while put on, a corset measures 24 inches outside, how much does your waist measure inside?

Lucy has a great video on finding this out here :)

My Joker corset probably has more structure and engineering involved than any other corset I’ve ever made to date. Here’s a brief tutorial about how I made the bust work.

1- (Cups) The fashion layer of the cup is fused with non-woven pellon and hymo interfacing. At first I tried just heavy pellon, but it wasn’t enough. The inner layer of the cup is satin coutil fused to  a layer of pellon. Their is a rigilene bone along part of the top edge, and a section of nylon horsehair acting as a “sling” on the side of the cup. Both layers were completed separately, then hand stitched (hidden under the trim) together along the cup seams.

2- (Body) The fashion layer of the corset is fused with pellon, and has an additional layer of hymo interfacing framing the cups/ribs area ending about 2″ bellow. The inner layer is plain coutil, although I did add a satin facing at the V for comfort. The two layers were first joined along the V, creating a casing for the v wire. The front and body of the corset was then stitched together to form all of the bone casings. The front has two 1/2″ bones angled from center front at the bottom, up into the very base of the cups. This created some negative space in the middle, which I filled with 1/4″ bones.

3- (Final fitting) Before completely closing the top and adding the last of the trim, I had a final fitting with the help of a friend.

4- (Finishing) I hand finished all of the interior cup edges with more satin (It feels amazing) and decided to add some foam inserts cannibalized from a bra. Securely hand sewing them into the very base of the cup helped add a little more lift and support the bottom of the cup.
