Making a Witchy Victorian Corset in Only a Week!

This gorgeous 1880's corset is PURE evil: made as green and villainous as my soul, and speed-sewn in about a week! The result is a gorgeous, two-layer, historically-inspired Victorian corset that is incredibly comfortable to wear, and lightweight to boot! In this video, I'll walk you step by step how to make a late Victorian corset using historical accurate techniques and materials. I hand dyed this fabric myself, and I’ll take you through the journey from cutting to completion, including the best way to achieve accurate seam lines, how to insert a busk with only mildly accidental innuendos, how to set in gromments the punk rock way, and the easiest way to keep your corset adjustable, even after you finish it! After all, even if Victorian corsets are specifically designed to mold your body, you should still be fitting your corset to your body, and NOT the other way around! 🙃 And yes, I can breathe in this thing quite well, thank you. I can even chase seagulls in it. This project was actually quite a struggle for me. For those of you who have been around here for a bit, you know that I made the rest of these hand-embroidered Victorian underpinnings earlier this spring. But for some odd reason, I just did not have the motivation to make the corset! I put it off, and put it off, and finally it was a week before vacation, I had an event I needed to wear it to, and it NEEDED TO GET DONE. So I buckled down and sewed this baby in just under a week! It was an exceptional challenge
