Past Patterns: Edwardian Corset
PP106
We love this pattern, it introduces a wonderful method of making a single layer very strong corset. A detailed description of the sewing techniques guides you towards making this very distinctive corset.
Multi sized and very easily adapted for individual fit.
This is a must for achieving that authentic Edwardian outline. This corset can be worn for long periods and looks great as outer wear as well as a fabulous foundation garment.
As always we highly reccomend a mock up be made before the parts are purchased so a Voucher included with this pattern giving discount on your next order.
We would not reccomend this for the absolute beginner.
They say...
"The cut of the "Straight-Fronted" Corset is said to have been invented by Mme. Gaches-Sarrautes at the turn of the century. It was considered a "Health Corset" because it was designed not to compress the waist or chest. Despite Mme. Gaches-Sarrautes efforts to create a "Health Corset", women tightened the waist so much so that the health effects were lost.
This pattern is multi-sized 8 through 26.
Original Edwardian corsets were made of coutil, cotton sateen, silk taffeta and a fine high thread count cotton. The most common colors were white and putty."
