Because the article I took the pattern from has all the details you need, and because it's late and I'm tired, I'm not going to give you details on how I made this one. I will say though that I LOVE this pattern - its fits great and was super easy to make. I think this is the first corset I've made where I've been really happy with how it fits on the bust.
One more point on this corset - I tried using cable ties instead of boning for this one, and they worked amazingly well. The finished corset is sturdy and supportive, and being able to cut them with kitchen scissors to exactly the size I needed was so convenient. Plus - cheap! I'll definately be using them again in the future.
The Challenge: #3 Under it all
Fabric: White coutille for structure, white silk dupion as the fashion layer and some random white fabric to make boning channels.
Pattern: Festyve Attire 1910s corset
Year: 1910
Notions: Grommets, cable ties for boning, 11" busk and 2 4m laces.
How historically accurate is it? 8/10 - the pattern is taken from an actual 1910 corset, machine stitching would have been the norm for mass produced corsets in this period. My materials may not be the most accurate but they're not too bad either.
Hours to complete: Sort of kept track - I reckon 9 hours, not including time for sizing up the pattern and making a mock up to check fit.
First worn: Not yet - it needs a dress to go over it!
Total cost: Around £20 for the busk, laces and suspender components, £10 for cable ties (with enough left over for another corset) and fabrics from stash.
