How to Fit a Victorian Corset the Easy Way

With this simple, 4-step method, you can tackle the hardest thing about making Victorian corsets: the fit! Getting the fit right is daunting, overwhelming, and just plain difficult. But this is the method I use for all of my corsets and stays. In this video, I'll give tips and tricks to help you achieve a perfect fit, while walking you through a practical demonstration as I fit my own Victorian corset mockup. The specific corset pattern I'm using is Laughing Moon Pattern 100, specifically the Dore corset (that particular pattern includes both the Dore corset and the Silverado corset, as well as all the underpinnings you need to complete a full Victorian kit--it's a great deal!) The Dore corset has its own set of fitting quirks, but otherwise most of the techniques and fitting issues I have while doing my Victorian corset mockup are applicable for any project, including 17th and 18th century stays. Hopefully this tutorial will help you fit your next Victorian corset, whether it's your first, or your fiftieth!
