I've found this website to be fairly reasonable, also. I did discover that you shouldn't get those patterns that were redrawn from old patterns, particularly if you're trying to use one of the other sizes that they're drawn for. They should only be used with the smallest size on there. There's too much variation to be accounted for that isn't in the pattern cut.

Hello, does anyone else out there make corsets ?


But there is a difference between corsets, you must define what type you are after, fashion every day dress type attire, or the boned tight lacing variety. Some links from my bookmarks ;

Does anyone do leather corsets ? Getting ready to try those, could use any and all tips.                                                                                                                                                                                                       Mentored by Touch of Kink

Yeah, found out the hard way. You can find some nice corset patterns at your local fabric store. Simplicity has a few, as well as McCalls. Vogue probably does, too. Once you've made a few from some standard patterns like those, there are several books out on corsetry that show you how to take measurements and so on and so forth, should you wish to endeavor to startdesigning your own. However, it's called corset BUILDING for a reason. It's a very complicated process and requires lots of minute details.

Status: offline 		I got The Little Corset Book! Isn't that just adorable? Waisted Efforts can be found for a hell of a lot less than that! I know! I have it and I paid about $56 here. $184 is ridiculous, but I've seen that price, too. Somebody's really making a killing on that book and I don't think it's the author.

I saw another book on there that I wanted also.

This one looks pretty cute, too. But I'd like to see what they have to offer other than a cute title.
