Making the EASIEST First Corset Project: A Waspie!

Want to try making your own corset but too intimidated by large corsetry projects? Try a waspie! In this video, I'll show you how to make an Edwardian riding corset using the Amelia Waspie pattern from Ora Lin. These are versatile little garments, good for late Victorian costume, Ren Faire looks, even vintage style, as they came back into fashion in the 1950's during the dominance of Dior's New Look. Even better, they're extremely simple to construct, because they're small! And because you only have two measurements to fit--your waist, and the length of your torso--they're a great way to dip your feet into corsetry, especially if you've been too overwhelmed to start something bigger! In this video, I'll walk you through all the steps to make this cute lil' corset, including tips for your first corsetry project, as well as a more advanced technique for my experienced folks looking for a fun, versatile way to use up some scraps in their stash.
