Edwardian Corset

 Hiii guys, how are you?

Today I'm making an Edwardian Corset using Black Snail Patterns "Edwardian Straight Front Corset". I really liked it, if you are a beginner like me, you will probably like it too, as the instructions are very easy to follow.



1) I took my measurements and found them in the mold.

2) it is necessary to make a mock up before making the final corset.

3) the mock up was too big, so I reduced the mold and then I could cut the mold on the final fabric.

4) I used twill, because I didn't find where I live here in Brazil the coutil fabric that would be ideal.


5)Put everything together and sewed.
6) The busk I had to ask for in São Paulo because where I live it doesn't sell.
7) If you want a video teaching how to put the busk, I can do it.

8) I put the grosgrain ribbon at the waist line.

9) I put satin ribbon in the channels of the plastic whalebones.


10) After putting the plastic bones in place
11) I fitted the eyelets.
12) And finally the cord.





The corset is ready. Would you wear it? I felt very comfortable wearing it, the first time I made and wore one. Yaaaay!! So excited!!!

Thank you for reading!

See you next Saturday!

Edwardian Bust Improver

Heeeey, hope you're having a lovely day! Saturday means new post here! Today I'm going to show you how I made my bust improver which is part of the underwear, contributing to the silhouette of the time. It increases the bust, making the person have a higher bust, looking like a pigeon breast.  This picture shows the differece when you're with the bum pad above the skirt and the bust improver, makes the right silhouette. Woman’s Bust Improver (Falsies) , England, circa 1900, image from LACMA I printed the pattern made by Cat's costumery on her blog and she also made the bust improver on her youtube channel, here's her video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leW0dItyCzI .

Thimble ( if you're doing hansewing) Thread Needle Trims (lace) Filling ( polyester or leftover fabric) bias tape 1-  I put the pattern on the folded fabric. 2- So I cutted. 3- I drew circles where I should put the f...

Edwardian Gown

 Hello, friends! Hope you're having a great saturday! Today is the last post related to my birthday project, which was inspired by the Edwardian era, so today it is about the dress that is actually a skirt, blouse and belt. I bought the mold from blacksnailpatterns, which has very good patterns, I highly recommend it! At first I was going to buy pure silk crepe de chine but it was very expensive, so I decided to buy another type of crepe, ana crepe, I bought 7.5m. I decided not to put any ornaments on the clgarments, because the fabric is the most beautiful thing alone.  It's made of polyester but does not heat anything, remembering that if you can't buy expensive fabrics for your clothes, it is good that you wear cotton / linen underwear so that your body can breathe better and you feel more comfortable. The pattern is very easy, in the part of the blouse you basically need to close the sides and make the finishes and the skirt may be a little complicated, there are severa...
