Redraw Boning Channels Like a PRO on Corsets and Stays!

In this totally serious, not-silly video, I walk you through the various ways you can redraw boning channels. While I’m focusing mostly on 18th century stays in the video, since that’s what I’m making currently, I also show you ways the same theory can be applied to corsets from the 19th century and beyond. After all, a boning channel is just a set of parallel lines, right? Follow me as I walk you through step-by-step to take a half-boned set of late-18th century stays and redraw the channels to make it fully boned. I’ll also show you examples of how to adjust channels for fit when taking in or out, how to add horizontal channels for additional bust support, and how to take an unboned bodice and add channels to make it into a corset, all while being completely professional and not making any double entendres. At all. 😉 (NOT.)
