I was very intimidated by my first corset project, but it came out perfectly when I followed this.

I don't bother with it and the only time I did try using it, the dyes would get so stuck in the thick layers of fabric that it was just a hot mess. I guess it would help if I properly secured the press to a work table but still, I think the old fashion way of hand setting the grommets is the way to go. <br /><br />For more extreme curves or any waist trainers that I make, I angle my boning from the top coming down to the center (inwards) thus adding to the goal of cinching the waist in. I must say, once I switched from a thick cotton for lining/reinforcement to a satin coutil (http://corsetmaking.com/corset-coutil/CMS-F-COUIMP-SATBLK.html) that I now use for just 2 layers and it holds great! :) I've only been ordering my corset making supplies from corsetmaking.com for years now and have only had amazing experiences with each order. Just thought I'd pass that on. I'm also looking into starting my own lingerie line as I was just upgraded to an H cup and my favorite bras don't go past a GG. If you or anyone you know has any advice on making lingerie, please send them my way! I can sew anything that I dream of yet I've never dealt with cups of bras. I have altered the bands of them and had to reinforce the casing for the under wires but I've never built them from scratch. Thanks for the tutorial, it's nice to see how other people like to construct their corsets and I'm always looking to gain new knowledge everyday.

When using a floating lining, do you simply just stitch it to the front and back or do you stitch it to the top and bottom too to make sure it lies smooth when you stitch the bias tape/self fabric to it?Lisenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15537422395793813351noreply@blogger.com
