I know how to draft and cut corset but my dear you are gifted, you have a unique way of making it easy for a new bee to understand sewing easily and I love your voice 😊 thanks for sharing your knowledge 😘
Yunno what I love about your videos? They are very detailed and not complicated even though you use the Natalie bray bodice. How do you deal with clients that have big tummy? What style can one see for them other than peplum ? How do you deal with their waist measurement, do you take their waist measurement above their tummy or on their tummy?
You are one of the best explaination I never had for a corset…. Thank you to be so patient so explicit, and so détails in you tutorials and also thank you to use CM too as I’m french…. God bless you ❤❤❤
Really appreciate this tutorial. Please can you do more corset styles starting from a basic to other variations. I’ve been looking for such simple yet detailed step by step videos and this is just awesome! Thank you
Thank you so much for this detailed tutorial I have one question, you reduced the waist by 8cm so was the waist shaped before the 8cm reduction so that it can have the waist snatched look? Thank you ma'am
Thank you for sharing this detailed and interesting tutorial. Please I want to know why you shaped out the sides of both bodice pattern at the end and what measurements did you use?
Thanks for this wonderful explanation. What's the maximum inches one can take out of the waist for cinching please especially in a plus size to have a very noticeable effect?
Hi, thank you for this tutorial, super useful especially with the waist cinching effect. Please i'd like to know why inches used for the upper bust contour was not replaced. Would it in any way make the upper bust tight?
You’re welcome! In this case I didn’t have to replace it, mostly because this was drafted with an open back . However for a closed back corset, the over bust should be measured and considered when shaping (meaning you only shape according to that measurement, either taking less or more based on it. I hope this helps.
Good day ma'am please could you show us the sewing details of this corset from the cutting of the pattern on fabric to the sewing. Thank you so much for being a great teacher
Hello! Wish I could love 10 times. Question- is there a calculation for the overbust tightening per bust size? And also for much bigger bust sizes how do prevent spillage?
Hi! For much bigger busts you can increase the over bust tightening to about about 2cm on Both sides of the dart but never more to a very pointy bust curve.
Hi mercy thanks for this tutorial. Pls I want some clarification. The seam allowance, that is, the 1inch you took out, was it originally added by you or if you follow procedure by the book the final draft is already inclusive of that one inch sideseam allowance.
Because for me the total bust I got for bust 100cm in the pattern book that i drafted and I followed strictly gave me a total of 110cm without removing anything yet and I didn’t add any seam allowance. Si I want to be sure whether after drafting the bodice following the draft rules, then that one inch side Seamus automatically added. Thanks in advance.
Hi! Mine had a total of 10cm on the bust, about 13 on the waist and I think about 8 or more cm on the hip. Pls watch this video for more context. ruclips.net/video/jGzkBnH3fpY/видео.html( So the excess does varies according to the measurements used)But there should be at least some excess around the bust and hips .
Discovered you on IG, I've been stucked to your page since then. Thnk you for detailed tutorials. please i have a question, do you not need the underbust circumference in this pattern? I noticed you didn't say anything about UB circumference
Thank you! I usually don’t do underbust circumference. I shape the underbust based on the size of the bust. Starting at 1cm going up to 2.5cm based on the bust size. So 1cm-1.5cm on both sides of the dart( for smaller busts) and 2-2.5cm for bigger bust sizes. This is what works for me. I hope this helps
Thank you very much. This is the most detailed easy to follow tutorial I've watched. God bless you. Looking forward to watching more of your tutorials. Do you have one on one coaching?
Thank you ma for this detailed tutorial. Please ma if im going to be having yoke does it mean i have to use a corset shoulder tightening before starting to draft the corset area?
Apply the basic rules 1. Minus 2cm from the under bust length for rounder cups 1.take 3.5- 5cm(based on how large the bust is. 3.5 -4cm for larger bust and 5cm for smaller bust sizes) from the side of the along the true bust line 3. Make sure to use the curviest part of your French curve for rounded cups. Note. The under bust Length was my own measurement.
Hi Mercy, you mentioned that the basic bodice already has seam allowance. Did you add it from your first Natalie Bray video or just added the SA for this video? - I created my basic bodice pattern using that video so I just want to know if I still need to add SA. Thank you!!
Thank you for your tutorial.it’s been helpful. But I noticed my corset front hip always larger with so much allowances After sewing .please how can I fix this?
You’re welcome ! Yes, you can also shape the hip area. But first measure around the upper hip( area where the length of the corset ends) as tightly as you want it to fit ad just reshape by the difference. Let me know if this helps.
THank you for this great tutorial! So quick one, it seems like you didn't factor in the allowance on the CB and SB when drafting the back pattern of the corset Also can we please get a video of the sewing..... Pretty pleaaseeee 🥺🥺
No. Use this method to achieve a yoke HOW TO: MAKE A YOKE BUSTIER WITH ILLUSION NECKLINE / Pattern Tutorial #diyyokebustier ruclips.net/video/2pzmijNVFVs/видео.html
Must I use the Natalie bray method of basic bodice to achieve this…instead can I use the normal Helen Armstrong method to draft the basic bodice then cinch the waist this way
❤️❤️my question iabout 3.5cm you add after side seam allowance to cage your cup.... what if a m working for(size 36 inches to 45) should I use same 3.5 cm???
I have a question maa. U took the 0.5 from the side back line but u said from the beginning that u have added 1 inches sewing allowance. So why didn’t u make that 1 “ first before the 0.5 but rather u make the 0.5 straight. Thanks
Thank you very much.... please my question is the 2cm on the front pattern from under bust is the 2cm constant.... please is there any need for shoulder tightening at the front pattten.thanks
Hello. Good tutorials up there. Please I don’t understand the cm measurements you’re using. I’m used to inches can you explain better please? Thank you 😊
You know you used up all the syncing inches for the front, while you left 0.5 for the side seam. My question is, hope the front bodice won't be shorter than the back after using another 0.5 for the side shaping
When should I have a question,you already took 2cm extra dart at the front,you took another 0.5cm at the side front.does it mean you took 2.5 cm dart at the front? Thank you
Me too I don't understand the cm you use , I even went back to your basic block tutorial same things, our measurements tape are not like you guys own, pls help us out with the inches
The back of the tape measure has both cm and inches, which translates the same! I explained it in this updated basic block and even drafted it in inches. Hope this helps Draft a Basic Block Like a Pro (Natalie Bray Version) ruclips.net/video/gx1I2TawlQ0/видео.html

Thank you so much for this detailed tutorial I have one question, you reduced the waist by 8cm so was the waist shaped before the 8cm reduction so that it can have the waist snatched look? Thank you ma'am
The waistline wasn’t shape prior. It only had seam allowance.
You made it so easy ❤God bless you ❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing this detailed and interesting tutorial. Please I want to know why you shaped out the sides of both bodice pattern at the end and what measurements did you use?
So beautiful, can't wait to get the sewing part,but please can you include modesty panel to the back in the sewing tutorial 🙏
Was there a sewing video?
This is just beautiful. It feels like am in physical classroom. Good job sewmate 💖 👌
Thank you! 😊
Thanks for this wonderful explanation. What's the maximum inches one can take out of the waist for cinching please especially in a plus size to have a very noticeable effect?
You’re welcome. I’d say between 3 to 5” for open back corsets and less for closed back corset. Also it’s a design preference
Thanks,always looking out for new videos from you.have learnt so much from you
You’re always welcome 🤗 . Thank you
Thanks for the tutorial
But the cm you are using us kinda confusing
Can you pls help writing it on inches . Thanks
Hi, thank you for this tutorial, super useful especially with the waist cinching effect. Please i'd like to know why inches used for the upper bust contour was not replaced. Would it in any way make the upper bust tight?

You're so amazing God bless you
I’m going to try this again. For this corset, what book are you referencing so i can read along?
Waooh. This is nice. Thanks . But how do u use it to cut different sizes pls
Apply the basic rules
1. Minus 2cm from the under bust length for rounder cups
1.take 3.5- 5cm(based on how large the bust is. 3.5 -4cm for larger bust and 5cm for smaller bust sizes) from the side of the along the true bust line
3. Make sure to use the curviest part of your French curve for rounded cups.
Note. The under bust Length was my own measurement.
Thank you very much

Thank you Mercy this was helpful ❤ please can you share how to make the bodice pattern thank you
You’re welcome. It’s linked in the description
@@mercyadamsinseams thank you
Love this tutorial but i wanted to ask , the under bust length that was used is it a standard for all sizes or just for this size
Thank you! The shoulder length to under bust is never standard, differs according to body measurements.
Good job 🥰 please do I need to add allowance to the cups
Yes you do.. the only allowance is on the side seam.
Hey ma....thanks alot
Please if we are having a yoke over it can will still subtract two cm from the underbust?
This Is quite different from the yoke corset
Thank you,thank you very much.
You are very welcome
Lovely videos. More on Illusion Corsets pls 🙏🏽

Hi Mercy, you mentioned that the basic bodice already has seam allowance. Did you add it from your first Natalie Bray video or just added the SA for this video? - I created my basic bodice pattern using that video so I just want to know if I still need to add SA.
Thank you!!
Hi Taiwo,yes, the seam allowance was from the first draft, but I rounded it up up to make an even side seam allowance.
@@mercyadamsinseams thanks a lottt

Do you have tutorials on how to draft a pattern for wedding dress and party dresses
Thanks for this video. Pls can this pattern be used with a yoke?

No. Use this method to achieve a yoke

Thank u for these..please can u illustrate on how to draft a princess dart
Must I use the Natalie bray method of basic bodice to achieve this…instead can I use the normal Helen Armstrong method to draft the basic bodice then cinch the waist this way
Any basic block can work.
❤️❤️my question iabout 3.5cm you add after side seam allowance to cage your cup.... what if a m working for(size 36 inches to 45) should I use same 3.5 cm???
Mostly yes. But for super small cups it can be 4-5cm
I have a question maa. U took the 0.5 from the side back line but u said from the beginning that u have added 1 inches sewing allowance. So why didn’t u make that 1 “ first before the 0.5 but rather u make the 0.5 straight. Thanks
God bless you❤️
🙏♥️
Thank you so much 💃 💓 💗
You’re welcome
Thanks alot ma am .this is nice
Thank you! ❤
🤗♥️
Thank you very much.... please my question is the 2cm on the front pattern from under bust is the 2cm constant.... please is there any need for shoulder tightening at the front pattten.thanks
Hi. It’s not standard. I usually use 1-2.25cm based on the size of the bust. Smaller bust from 1cm and so on.
Im like your vidéos thanks à lot
Thanks for sharing, but how about the saw part of the cup
Hello. Good tutorials up there. Please I don’t understand the cm measurements you’re using. I’m used to inches can you explain better please? Thank you 😊
She uses Natalie Bray method.
Simply convert the cm to inches by checking the corresponding figure on the other side of your tape measure.
Like the 6th time watching this❤....can we have a sewing tutorial pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeee❤
Very nice tutorial.. pls can u say it in inches rather than cm pls
I really enjoyed watching this pattern will try it out!
Thank you! ♥️
great video
Pls can this tutorial be used in making an Inbuilt corset ??
Yes it can!
How do determine the where the corset will sit for all sizes
Thank you so much❤️🥰
Any time!
The 1.5 And 1cm that use you to shape the chest are they constant and is it for all size
1.5 is the standard. . But it can go up more , make sure not to over shape, because it may cause the cups to be too pointed . I hope this helps
Thank you mercy
Nice tutorial
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks so much
Thanks darling ❤
You’re welcome♥️
Thank you ❤️
You’re welcome 😊
Pls what bursts Size fall under small size,medium size and large
🙏
You know you used up all the syncing inches for the front, while you left 0.5 for the side seam. My question is, hope the front bodice won't be shorter than the back after using another 0.5 for the side shaping
It doesn’t affect in any way..front bodice is usually wider than the back. Also , the end goal is for a synced waistline.
Awesome 🥰🙏👍
