Advice

[(Anonymous)]

For someone who wants to attempt making a corset? [For reference, I do know how to sew, and all - I've just never made one before.]

Re: Advice

Plastic stays are cheaper/lighter than steel, but steel will make your corset last much MUCH longer.

Re: Advice

You can also use whale bone for the stays. That's the traditional way to do it.

Go to your local fabric store, like JoAnn's (if you're an American) and tell them what you want to do. They will help you find the stays you need.

I found this tutorial on line: http://costumingdiary.blogspot.com/2012/03/beginner-guide-to-corsetmaking-supplies.html

But if you don't sew, a corset might not be the best thing for your first project - not to discourage you.

mock it up FIRST. corset patterns aren't bad, but I have seen the same pattern fit three people three different ways, and none of them correctly. so even if you use a pattern, do a mockup first and baste your busk in so you can verify the fit. depending on the pattern, you may need to really adjust or even omit panels.
