Corsetry design for creating a hoop skirt, best attached with webbing and buckles to avoid cutting into the waist.

Skirts!

Horsehair- sewn into the lower layer to give waves into a gown

HANG AND ALLOW FOR STRETCH ON A CIRCLE SKIRT then resize before designing.

Bodice!

Not always a corset or boned bodice

Boned bodices place boning along the seam lines to keep the fabric smooth and long. Will not change the shape of the bodice like a corset though.

Buy your bodice for the construction, not the style. Most measurements are made for a B cup- you're better off making a higher bust and taking in to fit.

SLASH AND SPREAD- great for adding poofs to sleeves.

Corsets! W/ Cowbutt Crunchies Cosplay

Expect to have 3+ mockups before the finished product.

Check out the Facebook for Truly Victorian to get community help too.

Mockups should use cheaper fabric, usually muslin so you can draw on it and it won't tear. And add bones to the mockups! Heavy duty zip ties work well.

Middle's issue- the spacing is off in the lacing. The cup should be bigger.

Wrinkles are the best indicator of a problem, when in doubt try ripping a seam for how the fabric moves.

Prewash fabrics!! And follow the grain lines on the fabrics. Mark each piece, stay organized or things will go together upside down and you will cry.

Contille fabric is the standard for corset fabric. Get it all from a coset specialty store, farthingales is Canada based and good for gown supplies too. Some of those places will let you buy boning to length w/ tips and coatings.

Featherlite will not work for anything don't do it.

Bone casing- super helpful in setting in the bones where you need. Twill tape can also work- also good for hoop skirts.

Busk- front hooks to open the corset and will have a bone and seam included.

Corset flossing?

DO NOT MACHINE SEW AFTER THE BONES ARE IN STEEL V STEEL IS NO GOOD.

Magnets and buckles into a corset for armor pieces!!!

Bernadette Banner- historical costumer with scoliosis for good tips.

Foundational sewing books are best starts and "old lady" blogs. THREADS MAGAZINE- get the online archive for resources from 1970's on super helpful.

This was the first anime I ever watched, and her costumes are what inspired little 8 year old me to start drawing. Sakura is lucky to have Tomoyo making her all these awesome battle costumes!
