Two years ago I made an overbust corset from the 1910s from Truly Victorian. Since losing weight I’ve been wanting to make another one but just couldn’t get the motivation. When I saw a new pattern from Scroop Patterns for a 1910s corset, I thought maybe a new pattern might give me the impetus I needed.
Working on the eyelets! It’s easy, but takes a long time!
I began working on it in July and would have finished it much sooner than I did (late October) if I hadn’t had grommet trouble! I’ve used grommets before, so I’m not sure why they just would Not Work. Luckily, Leimomi Oakes, the creator of the pattern, told me that hand-sewn eyelets would be period accurate. Whew! So that’s what I did! The sizing, assembly and everything else were great! I really enjoyed working with this pattern.
All laced up!
There’s supposed to be extra lacing in the middle to tighten or loosen the corset, but I ran out of the lacing I already had. Oops!
I’m so glad that it’s finished. It was a great pattern and easy to make. And now I have a proper 1910s corset again!
Hooray! It looks great! I wouldn't mind trying my hand at the era. That corset looks like a good one to start with!
ReplyDeleteIt looks good. I like the peach binding / ribbon! A bit of an echo of Leimomi's pattern sample. :-)
