- When I was first learning about corsetry, busks were very new territory for me; so today I want to give you a brief history about them, and show you the busks I have in my stash!

My favorite wood busk is one carved by the wearer's brother. It says something to the effect of "don't break this one."
That is hilarious! and is totally something my brother would do 😆😆😆
That was great, maybe the next “short” should be about the best types of cords/ribbons to use with stitched verses metal eyelets!
I would like to see that too.
Oh yes that would be a great topic!
It makes a lot of sense to me that people would carve on busks as love tokens - they sit near the heart! ❤️🥰
Hehe, the secret message on your paint stick busk is from Home Depot, isn't it :D
Good to know Farthingales is local-ish to me!
Indeed it is! 😂😂😂
Good morning....I'm also in Canada (Ontario) and happy to hear a shout-out of sorts for Cdn business. I enjoy all your content, sewing or not, although I'm often boggled by watching you draft a pattern to fit you from what looks to be itty-bitty illustrations of pieces required to create a garment to fit an actual woman. I'll be here watching anything you care to put out, content like today's is fascinating to me.
Seeing busks in museums is my favorite, I love the idea of wearing this customized piece of art hidden and close to the body.
Fantastic and informative as always
I was shocked when I first came across it!
Thank you. I appreciate this kind of short informational video. I hope your wrist feels better soon, but don't push yourself too hard.
I was curious about all the different busks that were used. Very informative!
I have some plans to make Regency stays at some point in the next few years and want to make them using materials I already have. I was puzzling what I could use for the busk and have decided to use a spare wooden incense burner. Seeing you make yours makes me feel extra excited and optimistic about that decision! Thank you for another informative video. Hope your recovery is continuing well.
That is such a great Idea!!
@@Ellaodi Thanks! Fingers crossed that it works!
This was a great summary! Loved that saucy inscription 😆
This was good. Lots of fun and we learned something. Please make more of these kinds of videos. I like them.
This was great! It was nice to watch something short and I found it really informative. I'm looking forward to the next one
thank you for this video!
i also loved the regency fashion non-sewing video you did a while back.
mostly, i am just happy to see you happy, well, and mending apace, dear marika! xoxoxoxoxoxo
A very interesting video.
Have you read the new Diana Gabaldon book "Bees" yet, as usual a great read.
Hope your arm continues to heal well. Best wishes from the UK xx
I haven't yet, I am putting it off as long as I can because I don't want to wait another 6 years for the next one 😆
@@EnchantedRoseCostumes have you read the Lord John novels, they help fill in the wait xx
I love the info on the diy side, ty
Glad you are up to creating content. Informative video.
I love watching all the videos you produce, and always learn a lot from them!
I love your research and collection showing videos. Especially the Regency hairstyles one.
Great fun video!! Love the fact that you can easily make one with a paint stick or ruler!
Hopefully your wrist is healing well but take breaks as you need!! We all understand!
Feel better soon, but in the meantime, this was a really enjoyable video. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for the Canadian suppliers! I like buying from as local as possible!
Yeah! for Farthingales! They are so great.
Clothing history videos are always great, or as someone else suggested types of things you use and why. I've sewn for a very long time but it's always good to learn about other aspects of clothing construction and history.
Thank you for the lesson. I love to learn about the styles of the past. I would enjoy more videos like this one and will definitely watch them from start to finish multiple times. Thank you again.
I appreciate your videos. When I was young I always heard do it like this, but not told why I should do like that. This may not make sense to others but I like to know why wood, metal, spoon shape, straight, pointed are (or were) used. All your information will be useful when I get around to making my stays/corset. Love your channel. Get well soon.
hope you feel better!😊
There are more good days than the bad right now 😊
A lovely and informative video. Take care.
Thank you for all the great information! I love all of your videos!
As a total side note, I love all the fantasy books in your bookshelf, I have read and own almost all of them LOL (except the revenant chronicles which I just ordered, thanks for the inspiration!). Do you have any other series that you like? Anyone else feel the same?
There is a book that I want to read that I haven't yet called "Ella Minnow Pea: A Novel in Letters" it sounds absolutely delightful!
Information is useful for all sewists
Glad to see a video from you.
Great information for those that need it!
Liked this a lot, thank you.
Omg I love seeing your books. I don't think anyone I know understands my love for Tamora Pierce
Did you hear they are making a TV series!!!!!
@@EnchantedRoseCostumes OMG! 😍
I first heard about it in early 2020 so I really hope they are still moving forward with it!
Not video related at all, but I was admiring the titles you have on your shelf (Tamora Pierce! Mercedes Lackey! Pegasus by Robin McKinley!)
I wish there was a video that teaches you how to open and close the busk while on your body. I tried three different corsets before I gave up and bought one with the zipper on the side, that way the busk is already closed and most of the lacing just needs tightened. I wear them to help position my tumor and reduce the pain in my ribs so the fit is very important. If you run across a tutorial for busks, please offer a link, if possible. Thank you for the great information you give us and for your passion for your craft. It really rubs off on others.
I was taught to loop the second one from the top first and then work my way to the bottom. And finish with the top loop!
Thanks. I’ll try that.
Did they used a busk on stay with front lacing and a stomacker? I'm making one and I always wondered if they did it. This question has been stuck in my head for 1 year straight, no joke!
Now I want to go on an internet scavenger hunt for split busks pre 1840
Please let me know if you find any!!! 😊😊😊
me now realising i put a conical busk into a corset which was originally patterned with a spoon busk: whoops
also me realising i would've had to get a spoon busket from outside the country and that would've been way out of budget: mk, guess i'm not remaking that with a proper spoon busk then.
as someone who has suffered whiplash by car plus moose I feel your pain of not being able to sew as much as wanted. Aside from the standard therapy I found the biggest thing to help me heal is a collagen supplement and NEM natural egg shell membrane. You should do some reading and see if they might be right for you. It has been life changing for me! in the best possible way!
no i do not sell any of this stuff I just want more videos 😄 I am selfish like that😁😁😁😁
It was great!
I really like your peg board 🌹😘🍄
😊
I love it
Where on earth did you find the different colored split busks????? I can't seem to find them.
They are from the UK www.venacavadesign.co.uk/section.php/139/1/narrow_stainless_steel_busks
British Columbia or Alberta? Very different vibes

I’m the bras, high heels and tight corset lady, but that metal thing terrifies even me.
I have a corset with a metal busk, I admit it wasn’t made for me so I don’t have the correct corset to have an informed opinion, but when I sit down, the metal just digs into me.. ugh…
I want to bring back corsets but as outerwear and wear bras on the outside, but not like Superman... lol.
I just love lingerie so much more than boring clothes… and I’m also not a sexual person unless I’m with someone I love, so I never associate lingerie with sex, only with lace and beauty…
Pervs ruined it for all of us.
You had me at faux diamond studs…
Maybe the corset is a little too long? Busks shouldn't dig into you when you sit. One way to tell is from the side of the corset. The bottom edge should only lightly touch the top of your thighs when you sit. If too long it will dig into your leg. My MCC112 is the extra long kind that dips far below the hip line in the center front. Has a metal busk, but it doesn't jab my bits when I sit. If the problem is at the top with an underbust corset that peaks up between the girls(or would if you had some) you can slightly bend the busk away from jabbing you in the sternum. I had to do that with mine, and also bend the bottom towards me to avoid the "corset wood".
I share the same view/opinion as you on lingerie. I associate it with class, timeless vintage, aesthetics, refinement, and I'm just a men's & women's historical dress nerd lol.
How do u know what size you need?
It depends on your pattern. I would recommend measuring the centre front of your pattern and then order one 1" shorter to account for seam allowance.
Also most patterns will list the recommended length for the pattern.
