Corsetry Progress Part 1

Laying out my pieces.

It's been a few weeks but I am making a lot of progress on my first ever corset. We tried on corsets to get a standard size to work with. Then we traced that size on pattern pieces and proceeded to make alterations to achieve a perfect fit for ourselves.

Dying my laces.

Next we cut out the patterns, laid them out on our fabric, and cut the pieces.

Outside of class I dyed my corset laces with Breakfast Tea. They turned out pretty well. Our corsets are kind of a nude color so the laces needed to match, not be stark white.
