Making a late Victorian Corset

Hello everyone and welcome to a new video! New project in historically inspired costumes means new underthings. At least for me. I probably could have used a corset that I already have, however I love making corsets and really enjoy them as a project. The construction is really straightforward. So to make this corset different, I decided to go extra with the embellishments. I ended up embroidering like 60% of this corset and I regret nothing (except a few blisters on my hands). I used Sugar’n’Craft cotton cord, the same I used for my corded petticoat. It is lightweight but stable, easy to find and cheap! I’m not sure how much I used but it didn’t make much of a dent in the skein. The corset took me about two weeks to make, not counting the corset drafting and mock-up process. A BIG THANK YOU to friends who helped me through Ko-Fi on Instagram (). I wouldn’t have been able to make this corset at this time without them.
