Making a Victorian Corset || 1890s Pretty Housemaid Pattern

At long last I faced my fears and tackled an 1890s corset – specifically the Pretty Housemaid pattern originally made by the Symington Company. I used the pattern by Michelle of Clockwork Faerie, and followed her tutorial each step of the way. Join me on this epic journey!
