Making the Comfiest & Curviest Victorian Corset (despite my mistakes)

I've been needing a good Victorian corset for about a year now, and I've finally gotten around to sewing myself a lovely, curvy, comfy corset that gives me a great waist reduction and helps amplify and create those gorgeous Victorian curves and proportions. Corset making scares me if I'm being perfectly honest. It stresses me out because if something is wrong with the pattern - the damn thing can be terribly uncomfortable. Luckily, the corset pattern I'm using is from my friend Chrissy, and she is a genius at patterning corsets. So in this video, I'm going to walk you through how I sewed my corset, the things I liked about my work, my mistakes (and there are a few, some of them are super dumb too if I'm being honest...), and testing out the finished product for the first time in front of you all. If you want to buy a Victorian-style corset or make your own I highly recommend @RedthreadedCorsets ( https://redthreaded.com/ ) and Atelier Slyphe https://www.ateliersylphecorseterie.com/#/ for ready-made corsets or great corset patterns. 🖼Images Used: Royal Worcester Corset, c. 1880, Met museum: https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/158012 Corset, 1870s, V&A museum: http://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O355221/corset-woven-corset-unknown/ https://www.antique-gown.com/en/corsets/le-merveilleux-corset-paris-1880er-jahre.html https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k5807424w/f80.item.r=arlette%20dorgere.zoom# Corset, 1870s, Met Museum, https://www.metmuseum.org/art/c
