Non-Tabbed Black Satin Conical Corset
Conical stays with tabs were historically used throughout the 1600′s and 1700′s. The simplest designs are created with the price-conscious reenactor in mind. Fancier designs and subtle variations in silhouette are possible when using complex panel piecing and decorative elements.
This is a bespoke non-tabbed conical corset with black satin cover material.
Non-Tabbed Black Satin Conical Corset
Fabric: Two core layers of hemp/linen canvas, black satin cover, and black cotton broadcloth liningBoning: 1/2" flat spring steel bones fanned for the front panel and 1/4" flat spring steel bones spaced 1" apart along the sides
Core Piecing: Three panels total - one front panel, and two back panels
Cover Piecing: One continuous panel
Edging: Black double-face satin ribbon
The core layers were constructed using three panels for strength. The cover was cut from one continuous piece of material and added after the core had been boned. This way the cover is free of seam lines and boning channel stitching.
