Description The Stays:

Fabric: Two layers of hemp canvas.
Boning: Partially boned, with 1/2″ flat spring steel bones fanned for the front panel and 2 1/4″ flat spring steel bones per tab
Piecing: Three panels total – two front panels and one back panel
Edging: Organic cotton ribbon edging.

The piecing of this pattern is a modern re-enactment design, created to give the proper fashion silhouette for the minimum amount of work. The shape of the body is modeled after Dorothea Sabine von Neuburg’s pair of bodies, minus the shoulder straps. The front-most tab placement is modeled after the pair of Effigy bodies.

The partlet is made from lightweight linen, raglan style, with gussets at the armpits, cuffs and collar, and french seams throughout. There are no raw fabric edges or serged seams.

Thank you so much. New tutorials get posted to my web site more frequently than my dA account. In the next week (hopefully the next couple days), I'll be adding tutorials on conical corset drafting and making.

I've only ever made one corset but i hope to be making more soon. They just intimidate me lol. I'm not a patient seamstress and there's just so much that goes into corsetry. You have a gift I wish I possessed.

Too busy and broke for school this semester. Instead I've been taking the time to revamp my web site, develop more tutorials and learning tools, and starting to teach workshops. I'm also working on a couple outstanding orders, and working on portfolio pieces when I can scrape together the time and materials for them. Your new ribbon corset is high on my wish list, but I don't have the materials yet. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the workshops this month fill up and I can order the stuff.

Thank you. I'm hoping it does well. So far I have a couple takers for just the booklet, but not the kit yet. The shop where I am teaching the workshops is going to carry the kit in the store, and I look forward to seeing how it does there as well.

I'm eager to hear how the workshops 'll go, and to see some more of your portfolic works! Good luck with it
