Wow, this is really beautiful and inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing. I especially like the trim!
this was beautiful!! great work!!
Hello! I have a question: is there a point in having the bodice in multiple slices, instead of a single piece? Is it just for aesthetics, or does it have a technical advantage?
Hi! Yes there is a technical reason. Most of the shaping in a corset comes from the way the pieces are cut. The pieces are shaped so that the waist is smaller than the bust/hips. So even without the boning the corset will already hold its shape 😊
@@stitchesbytess Thank youuu!
That explains the shape, but why is it in multiple pieces?
Like, let's say we keep that same patron, but instead of multiple pieces we keep just two (one for the front, one for the back). Would it work the same?
@@Dante02d12 No, unfortunately that wouldn't work the same. The smaller pieces help to get the right shape because they are cut out on specific grainlines. This prevents any warping of the fabric which would happen if the pieces were larger. The specific measurements of the individual pieces relate to a specific shape of corset. You wouldn't get the same measurements if you cut out two pieces. It's the same reason there are often darts in modern clothing pieces around the curves of the body, these are all ways to translate a 3D shape to a 2D piece of fabric.
@@stitchesbytess Ohhhh, I see! Thank you very much!
