Finally! A Perfect Fit for Your 1660's Bodies!

The hardest--and most tedious--part of corsetry and staymaking is the fitting process, and 17th-century bodies are no different! In this video, we'll break down the methods to get a perfect fit on your 1660's bodies based on the new Ninon Bodice pattern from Scroop. We'll first talk about the mid-late 17th century silhoutte, discuss what you should look for in a well-fitting baroque bodice, and then I'll give a practical demonstration as I try and fit my own pair of bodies.
