Shaping bust panels (using fruit!) | Lucy's Corsetry

***READ THIS***READ THIS***READ THIS*** A quick demonstration on three different ways you can create panels to form a nicely rounded bust in a (non-cupped) overbust corset. Method 1: Separate the bust (and correspondingly, the rest of the front vertical corset panels) into many (3 or 4) narrow panels so the fullness of the bust is distributed equally between all panels. Method 2: If you don't want many vertical panels, use fewer panels but slash the pattern so the bust lies flat. When tracing your pattern onto fabric, be sure to add a dart exactly where you had slashed the pattern. Method 3: Add more fullness to the bust by adding bust gores or gussets. These can be triangular or they can be marquise-shaped. When adding gores to a pre-existing pattern: adding just triangle-shaped pieces between vertical panels can create a demi-bust or balcony bust, while marquise-shaped pieces will help to shape the fabric over the upper-breast for more full coverage. There are plenty of other ways to cut up half a tangerine peel, so practice and experiment and see what you can come up with!
