My old corset is a bit small and was always the wrong shape. I have enjoyed wearing it but have been meaning for years to make a new one, with better shape and in a colour other than black. I stuck to my intentions this weekend and thus... have a new pair of bodies!
I still need to oversew the eyelets and thread in the lacing tape. I might add some lace? but I pretty much have a functional and pretty new thing! Thanks to doushkasmum for fitting assistance. Also to Mr B for cutting the spiral boning for me.
-outer is silk upholstery brocade from Rathdown remnants bolt end bin. Cost ~$4 and I have leftovers
-lining is moleskin drill left over from a pair of trousers- and obtained through a fabric swap many years ago
-thread, eyelets and spiral boning were from stash.
-lacing tape was bought at festi for random projects.
-The only components bought new and full price were the busk and back bones.
Steampunk tea party, here i come. Now I have to think about what I'll wear with this
