Synopsis

The corset is sexy, versatile, funky, and timeless. Wear one as underwear, or outerwear, with jeans, a dress, or trousers, or keep it strictly in the bedroom. Making a corset is fun! It can be plain or fabulous, and tailored to a specific outfit or occasion. As a bespoke corset is beyond the pocket of most people, the only way to achieve a good fit and comfort is to make one yourself. Happily, unlike many items of couture clothing, making a corset isn't as difficult as it may seem. If you can sew a straight line, you can 'build' a corset. If you have never made a corset, but are comfortable behind a sewing machine, this ebook with video demonstrations is for you. Julia Bremble passes on the most practical methods of corset building built up through years of making and research. She gives a good grounding of basic corset skills for beginners, and a source of inspiration, from where you can explore more innovative creations. Her professional techniques tips and tricks will help you create a polished result from a commercial pattern. You are on the way to making your first beautiful corset!
