for my first course when i was at university was my corset course when first starting the lessons we did a lot of meathored and way to be able to do the corset and different way to be able to draft up the corset after we finished all the lessons we then went on to do the draping which i written about in another one of my blogs . After i had done this i drew out my pattern and then cut it out of calico to be able and then stitched the full corset together to see if the the toile would fit my model and after i did that i had to make where it need to be bigger and where it needed to be longer i went back to my patterns and made the the size that they needed to be and then i did another toile with my new patterns and the went to see if it fit my model and then i would cut it out of my fabric which i piked satain fabric and then i had to basted it with the black fabric i had to go on the inside of the corset.after i did that i had to put the bust in the front of the corset and when stitching that it it was quite difficult . first you have to put the fabric wrong side to wrong side but before stitching it i had to make on one side where the hooks are going to poke thought the fabric. so where i make it i had to not stitch over it and once i got one half of the bust in i had to stitch down the other side of it to keep it in to place. now for the other side of the bust i had to put it wrong side to wrong side again and then mark where the pins would come though and put a little hole for them to get pushed thought which was quite difficult and then you had to stitch down the flat side to keep them in place. after i did that i then went on to stitch the other sides on.
it then came to doing the back and putting the ilets in the back of the corset first you have to stitch three lines in one 2 cm ways from the edge and the another one about 4 cm away and the the same again 2 cm away and the the ilets will go in the gap that is 4cm wide you have to go on an ilet machine to be able to put them in and but first you have to put the holes in using the machine once you have put the hole in of how many you want to use then you have to change the foot on the machine to be able to put the ilets in then you place the bottom of the ilet on the bottom of the hole and then the top bit on the top and then use the machine to push them in to place.
i then went on to put the rest of the corset together and then once that was done where the fabric was sticking out the front one side you have to cut right down but make sure that for everone you cut down make sure that it is the same for everyone you do after you have done that the side that you havent cut down you have to fold in half and iron but make sure that no fabric is sticking out when it is ironed you have to put a one sided foot on the sewing machine and then stich down the folded of fabri quite close down the folded edge and repeat this for all of them. after i put my binding on the corset i was using black silk biding i stitched it in one side useing the sewing machine and the the other side had to be hand stitched on you have to do the for the top and the bottom of the corset. theni wanted to ad some final touches i added lace around the lace the top and the bottom of the corste i also hand stiched the lace on to my corset and once i did this my corset was done and my modle was able to wear it.
