The Victorian Morning Corset: Testing a 19th-Century Corset Pattern

Hello everyone and welcome to a new video! Ever since I saw the illustration for this pattern a few months ago, it's stayed in my head, so I was so happy to finally give it a go! This corset dates to 1893, from an issue of La Mode Illustree, a popular Victorian magazine. I got it from Repeated Originals on Etsy (https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/246200088/morning-corset-victorian-reproduction). I made it from under a meter of cotton coutil, herringbone tape, synthetic whalebone, some flat steel boning, and a bit of lace. I was so intrigued by the concept of this closure - the really innovative bit about it, though technically it's so reminiscent of fan lacing that it could be considered vintage for its time lol. I found the concept of a tab closure, without eyelets and lacing, very convenient and practical, but ultimately found that it didn't work for me!
