I made this corset last summer to replace a boring white one. It's from the Truly Victorian 1880's corset pattern and is one layer of satin and two layers of cotton batiste. If you ever want to make a corset out of satin, DON'T - SPARE YOURSELF. I was terrified the whole time of making a mistake because picking out the stitches was practically impossible without ruining the fabric. I ended up sewing the channels by hand so that they were the exact fit for the steel spirals.
Also, I swear I made a set of combination underwear, but I cannot find them anywhere. They probably ended up on some closet floor during the many costume shifts. Hopefully this will force me to make a new set without hideous sweat stains. So, here I am with an 18th century shift and an 1880's corset.

Hi I'm a choreographer looking for this exact set of colonial undergarments. If they're still in your possession can you contact me ASAP at majodancer@hotmail.com?
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, nothing here is for sale, and I very much doubt that this would be suitable for dancing.
