New Sewing Tutorial – How to Insert a Triangular Gore into a Slash

This new tutorial walks you through two different methods of inserting a triangular gore into a slash.  This kind of construction is sometimes seen in modern and vintage garments, and it is commonly used to define bust shape in women’s undergarments throughout the 1800’s.  The images used to illustrate were taken while I was constructing a mock-up for a Regency era corset.
