Planning Corset

When making the corset, I was mainly influenced by this beautiful original corset which was offered in an Ebay auction:

I didn't buy this corset, because I have to admit that I didn't find that particular Ebay auction - those pictures were sent to me by a friend, and I am almost sure that he sent them to me in order to make me actually want and make that particular corset.
I think his exact (translated from German) words were: "I don't think anyone in the world could make such a corset today."
Alright, my friend - you've reached your goal, I'll reproduce it - of course not just because you said that no one could, but also because I like it a lot...

After making a pattern for this corset, I started by embroidering some initials - as are to be seen on the original corset on the right side in the forth picture. Just, of course, that I didn't embroider "R&G" to it, but my very own initials.
I did the embroidery on the fabric I had chosen for this corset - duchesse silk in two colors: charcoal and light gray. Before doing *anything* with that fabric, I watered it (meaning I left it with some water, often changing this from cold to hot, in the bathtub for two days) to preshrink the fabric.
Nothing is as bad as a well fitting corset that will shrink considerably after the first cleaning - and this silk duchesse *does* shrink, believe me.

Here's a picture of the embroidery I made:

After the embroidery was finished, I started cutting the pieces from the pattern I had made for the corset; first in duchesse silk...


(Picture shows half of the corset's pattern pieces, laid out in the order in which they will be sewn together)

...and then I've sewn those pieces together.


(Picture shows - again - one half of the corset, sewn together. It's a bit stretched in this picture, so the actual bust / waist / hips difference is not yet visible)

Afterwards, I've cut the corset pattern pieces once again - this time from a double layer of herringbone linen, which I afterwards also sew together.

Stay tuned for updates! Why not browse my other costumes in the meantime until I update this page?

Contact: Please write to naergilien@yahoo.de with the word "Costume" in the subject line. My mail server will delete all mails automatically that don't have this word in the subject line; except if you are on my whitelist (which you are probably not if I have never written to you).
It may take me some days to answer - please be patient. If I shouldn't answer within a week, it's almost safe to say that I didn't receive your mail (for what reason ever) - in that case please resend it.

All images of my costumes and also the tutorial pictures as well as the descriptions of my work and various techniques on this site are copyrighted to me.
So don't take my pictures for publishing (e.g. other websites, books etc.; no matter if they are commercial or not) without asking me before you do so and especially not without getting my permission to do this.
My server is mostly set up in a way that it doesn't allow hot linking on images; so if you need to link to me, please link to one of my sites (hint: that's everything ending with ".htm" or "html" in your browser's address bar) on which you found the picture that you would like to link to.

All images of paintings or original movie costumes were not taken by me (except if stated so) and are on this site for educational purposes.
