In this video, I explain the different shapewear options of the 1930s to create the correct silhouette and make a girdle from a free pattern. I go through the fact that a girdle is basically just a rebrand for the corset, giving it a new more modern name but the function of creating the correct shape is still the same.
For my girdle, I used 1/2 yard of cotton twill fabric, 3 yards of linen bias binding, 3 yards of cotton twill tape, 4 garters, 9 inches of 10mm spiral steel boning, 12 inches of hook and eye tape, 6 heavy duty zip ties.
