It’s to do with the fact that the cotton is twisted, pulling it through over and over untwist sit a little till it springs back into a loopy knot. I hate them. Waxing the cotton helps.
Oh my goodness this is absolutely gorgeous! I love the way you combined the two insertion laces and the cheeky red ribbon matches your coloring so well! You should definitely keep it!
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one taking ages to finish a simple project...I have a bustle pad I need to finish since at least 6 months now 😭 The result is beautiful ♥️✨
That came so beautifully. It looks prefect. I feel you on the dying your ribbon just avoid unnecessary confrontation with the company. I would've done the same thing. Just easier that way.
The final dressing was intensely satisfying! Congratulations on a huge project well-done! Also, if your project complexity does not escalate beyond control, are you really working with insertion lace???
That opening was me with my apron, also I am putting off making a chemise even though I run about like a chicken missing a head with nothing to go under my bodice and historically inspired skirts. A mess. Anyway, your corset cover is so cute~!
Cat, this is so beautiful. The Edwardians sure knew how to take advantage of their felinity! I do need to ask where you source your laces. They are just stunning.
With all the lace insertion you do (which I love) you might get good use from some blunt nose scissors. It's much harder for them to poke through the lace so it vastly reduces the chances of slicing it by mistake when you want to cut the fabric behind it. So it makes it a lot less stressful as well. For people who don't do much of this type of insertion it may not be worth it to get some special scissors for the job - but you do miles of it. :-)
So pretty! I can see this adapted for everyday not underwear too... maybe with fixed gathers and less lace. also, I saw a video on Instagram recently, I can't remember whose, but they taped a narrow cardboard shield to their scissors for cutting fabric behind insertion lace and it was GENIUS...
It's so pretty! The problem with simple projects is often that the mind goes 'this won't take long, so I can just do it later' and then... later never happens XD
Your vids are so unintentionally asmr-ish and I absolutely love this! You could actually do ASMR videos using the sound of your sewing machine (the antique one and of course the beautiful brown one. Is it ok again?). Anyway, the cover looks so lovely and I don't know how we still buy clothes when we could make something so pretty. Greetings and have a great weekend ☀️, Cat and ya'll!
I've been wanting a corset cover or corset cover-esque top for a while now, I want to make one but I'm a beginner at sewing (don't even know how to use a machine) and I'm scared I'll mess it up😅😅. But this was so gorgeous, makes me want to make one even more🤩🤩🤩
Even if you don't have or can use a machine, I am sure this is a project you can easily handsew! If you can do a solid backstich you're good to go- maybe skip the special insertion lace part though~ Ahh I want one too, as a summer top...
Congrats on completing the set !! I'm wondering why you didn't use just the eyelet lace + ribbon as a means of gathering. Is the lace too fragile for this purpose ?
That's right! The lace was only secured on the bottom, and I thought it would be secured/structured enough to provide the kind of gathering I wanted :)
This turned out so pretty. Who cares that it took a long time. You completed it and that's all that matters. The lace insertion looks so pretty. I am not sure why the cover was needed though. Can you help me understand? I thought it was the chemise that would show around the neckline during the day. Thanks so much!
The purpose of the cover was to smooth out the lines of the corset. Often the bodices in the late 19th century were very tightly fitted, which meant that the upper and lower ridges of corsets would be visible, sometimes even busks, so the purpose of this layer is to smooth out those lines :)
Beautifully done :) But I have a question that bothers me since seeing how the corset cover fits over the actual corset. Why go through the hassle of creating a smooth figure and shape with a corset only to add some bulk back to it with a corset cover? And why cover something up that wasn´t seen in the first place?
The corset gives more to the body than a smooth figure. It gives support & posture. The corset cover originally helps smooth & hide the harsh lines of the corset that one could see through the sheer or lightweight blouse. For the classic Edwardian shape, frills & padding in the corset & corset cover helps to create the shape of the era. As for creating something so pretty or putting in a lot of work into something that it is hidden anyways is purely for the wearer. If you felt like wearing pretty underwear to feel more beautiful or what have you, you could. Nobody needs to know what makes you confident, or gives you a power boost. 😁
Just to add that this particular style is very loose because it's aimed at the early Edwardian pigeon breast blouses, so it wants to add volume there. There were many patterns for fitted corset covers, which looked more like a bodice pattern :)
URGH BUTTONHOLES I swear every project that needs them means I have to learn how to use my machines buttonhole foot/settings all over again. I can never get it right first time
Dealing with customer service? Can't you just send them an email with a copy of the invoice and photos of the product, as prove that you got a wrong product, to get a replacement? Or at least just send it back (which you can do within 14 days after receiving when you ordered it) to get the money back and order from somewhere else? That aside, it turned out lovely. And seems to be easily adjustable into a modern summer top, e.g. with a ribbon channel at the height of the middle lace insertion instead of the bottom, to tighten it around the waist.
So beautiful! I love the “decided to dye it instead of dealing with customer service” because that is something I totally would do!
I love your close-ups when you're sewing! It just looks so nice and relaxing...
You come off as so knowledgeable, kind, and pretty. Thank you for sharing your homework and sewing.
I love how even a professional like you, still gets those odd loopy knots when whip stitching! Drives me crazy.
It’s to do with the fact that the cotton is twisted, pulling it through over and over untwist sit a little till it springs back into a loopy knot. I hate them. Waxing the cotton helps.
oh no, never saw it'll be a "quick project", the sewing fae can hear you!
This was so lovely. The insertion lace is just perfect.
Lovely 😊
It looks beautiful. That insertion lace was worth the effort.
Oh my goodness this is absolutely gorgeous! I love the way you combined the two insertion laces and the cheeky red ribbon matches your coloring so well! You should definitely keep it!
Absolutely gorgeous. I love how the lace you sewed looks so seamless.
Making difficult life choices, makes for a beautiful product. I’m glad you did the button holes the east way.
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one taking ages to finish a simple project...I have a bustle pad I need to finish since at least 6 months now 😭
The result is beautiful ♥️✨
That lace is very cute. It is my opinion that it was worth the extra effort.
This literally came at the perfect time. I was just thinking about sewing a corset cover and now I’m feeling even more inspired
I love the blouse you are wearing in your introduction
So... you inserted insertion lace into your insertion lace. A high level indeed.
lovely place and ribbon!
So lovely all put together. Nice job.
They look beautiful! 😍
It looks absolutley stunning!!! And al of the peices look loveley together!! Well done!
Beautiful x
Stunning!! I want one literally for everyday wear, WOW
Beautiful piece. Good job.
That came so beautifully. It looks prefect. I feel you on the dying your ribbon just avoid unnecessary confrontation with the company. I would've done the same thing. Just easier that way.
Very pretty 😍
Oh my GOODNESS!! I LOVE THIS SO VERY MUCH!!!
You know you have watched too many CosTube videos when, you see dark red ribbon and immediately think of Bernadette Banner.
Tweed = Bernadette Banner
Red with white dots = Morgan Donner
Browns = Rachel Maksey
etc.
It's very pretty and well done
Lovely video - I really enjoyed the calm pacing. It is so fun seeing your past projects in the intro/voice overs sections.
It's beautiful.
Congratulations

Marika of Enchanted Rose Costumes uses them. They are called duckbill scissors, originating out of the quilting fraternity and available via Amazon.
Marvelously lovely corset cover. Did I miss the actual corset video?
It's so pretty! The problem with simple projects is often that the mind goes 'this won't take long, so I can just do it later' and then... later never happens XD
Lovely work!
Lovely 💖 I'm going to attempt a corset cover, but I'm thinking of leaving out the buttons and just making it to slip on over my head.
I would also dye the ribbon instead of trying to fight customer service :P it turned out so well! And great job on hairstyling at the end too.
Your vids are so unintentionally asmr-ish and I absolutely love this! You could actually do ASMR videos using the sound of your sewing machine (the antique one and of course the beautiful brown one. Is it ok again?).

delightful.
Hi,it's beautiful and I think dye is easier than peopling.💖
MARAVILHOSA..ESPETACULAR..MAGNÍFICA
8:10 this makes me feel better about my life thank you
My 5yr old asked “is that a princess dress?”

This turned out beautifully! It makes me want to make one now. Also where did you get that blue witch hat? It’s a gorgeous hat
I made it! :)
You know...just thought it would be quick and easy....😂😂😂 we feel your painnnn

@@CatsCostumery Thank you!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
30 seconds in and I'm already feeling attacked. No, I do not have belt loops to be putting on my pants that I've been putting off for two weeks now...

@@CatsCostumery Thank you! I didn't get that this was for the early edwardian period. Thanks for the added insight 😊
I can't see red accents on Victorian undergarments without thinking about Bernadette Banner
corset cover, and also, how to schnür a corset ^^
I too have left my corset cover until absolute ded last haha
Some folk knit or crochet in public....you may have started a new fad? Lace trimming! ?
French seams, or: how to double the number of seams! :)
URGH BUTTONHOLES I swear every project that needs them means I have to learn how to use my machines buttonhole foot/settings all over again. I can never get it right first time
It’s lovely but I don’t think you’ve got the sizing right. You are smaller than you think.
First?
Woohoo!!!
