Mantua Maker Corset 1870-1895
MM1800-12
We love this pattern, it is cut well, easy to customise and makes a superb figure enhancing corset.
Correct for the period 1879-1895 so perfect for those late Victorian costumes, for plays, re-enactment etc.
We have made it as outer wear and it works very well.
Historical Notes and period sewing techniques included.
The images below show this pattern made up by us in Purple Silk Crushed Velvet with coutil lining. We have used our Victorian Style lace to trim the bottom and conceal the busk.

We don't offer kits for this or any other corset pattern (apart from the Simplicity 9769) because it is vital that you make a mock up first. The corset is uniquely fitting garment and the only way to correctly establish the busk and bones needed is make a test garment and fit it first. We have many many corsets over many years and not used the same combination of busk and bones twice!
