How to Make Reversible Elizabethan Bodies!

Join me as I ride the Struggle Bus while trying to make an Elizabethan corset (or stays). What started out as a mage's cosplay from my own fantasy novel morphed into a reversible pair of stays, with the mage's design on one side and Ariel's on the other, because I realized after several dye mishaps that the colors were just...so Little Mermaid. I couldn't help myself! While I ran into snags at every turn while making these stays, the idea to make the back side an Ariel cosplay breathed new life into a project I otherwise might have given up on. Despite some stupid mistakes, rushing to make a deadline I KNEW I wouldn’t reach, and choosing style over substance and having to rip out a bunch of stuff, I’m really happy with the finished product! These stays are now doubly useful, a true multi-tasker, and something I can wear to my next Renaissance festival. They would have been easy to make if I’d chosen the right fabrics and not gotten distracted by shiny gold lamé binding. But it all worked out in the end. Stay tuned for the double reveal, and the very special, silly cameo at the very end of the video!
