Corsets Sewing

Blue Silk Corset with Quilted Gores

This is a back-dated post for my archive project, where I am copying over every piece of art I have ever submitted to DeviantArt, with the original submission date or watermarked year stamp, so a complete archive of my work can be found on this website, even if the item was never or is no longer displayed in my portfolios.

The corset is made from two core layers of coutil, with a dupioni silk cover. The contrast stitching and flossing was made with upholstery thread. The boning is 1/4″ and 1/2″ wide spring-steel flats. The busk is a 10″ busk with a backing bone. Edging is bias-cut contrast silk fabric. Quilted gores are three layers of coutil and one layer of dupioni silk.
