I thought that making a lobster bustle would be intimidating and complex. Which is funny because I actually made a underbust corset from an 1880s pattern with minimal issue, but I had a lot of videos to learn from before diving in. Until today I hadn’t been able to find a video of a lobster bustle being made, so I never planned on making one myself. After watching you, I can definitely see myself making one some day. Thanks for showing the whole process.
Your tournure looks great! And you pronounced almost right but hey, the 'r' sound in french is a pain for everyone else but us 😂 So it's a win for you! Seriously though, can't wait to see the bustle dress you'll make to go on top!
I am making a bustle but I am stuck at the bustle stay stage (the inner piece)... Is it boned ? How does it stay in place ? My bustle keeps it shape at the top bust collapse near the bottom! I can't find anything online 😫
I'm sorry you're running into speed bumps 😔 From what I recall the inner piece is not boned. The shape of the bustle is created my the tension the inner piece (that lays against you backside) creates. Based on memory I sewed the inner piece to one side of the bustle, boned the bustle, then jammed in under my sewing machine, using all my force to sew the other side down. The permanently curved the bustle and created its shape. I would also perhaps consider the boning you are using, some boning, like the hoop steel I'm using here is much more springy and holds shape by itself more then others.
@@Coffincruisine It’s been a long while since I’ve made this video so I have forgotten what I might have said, please forgive me. 😅 I used a 1/2” hoop steel similar to this one: www.biasbespoke.com/corset-amp-lingerie/boning-amp-busks/1-2-white-spring-steel-boning-23-sizes-available.html They also have pre-cut and tipped 1/4” boning if that would better suit your needs. I personally spring for the pre-cut and tipped bones bc I’d rather the convenience of those over that hassle of doing it myself, especially for such a small project. 😊
Great job on your bustle. I really need to make one like this to go under an 1888s costume that I need to resurrect and get it finished.
Amazing job. Thank you so much!
