Custom Corset Patterns

I draft full-scale custom corset patterns to the provided measurements and style requirements. I highly recommend making a mock-up, so any fit adjustments can be made and to familiarize yourself with the pattern.

It will include all tailoring marks, seam allowance, and cutting notes.  It is for PERSONAL USE ONLY, and may not be used for commercial purposes unless specific arrangements are made with me IN WRITING.

Due to the amazing array of potential corsets, and the construction nuances of each, it is at this time impossible for me to write out full assembly instructions for each corset pattern. I will include basic assembly instructions, a suggested boning diagram, and will be happy to answer any questions and offer advice along the way. Also, for anyone who has an account on LiveJournal, I highly recommend the CorsetMakers community as an amazing resource for anyone learning to construct corsets.

What I need from you

Measurements
Please take all measurements as accurately as possible. Full measurement instructions can be found on the Measuring for Your Corset page.

Corset Style
Let me know what style of corset you want to make. Name a historical era or corset type, link to a drawing or photo of your inspiration, or describe in detail the profile you hope to achieve. The photo or drawing does not need to reflect your exact body type - it just needs to show the piecing and intended profile.

Construction Style
There are many different ways to make corsets, and most construction choices affect what the pattern should look like. Many corseters make their corsets with a single foundation layer, with or without lining. I make mine with a double foundation and lining. Both 1/2" and 5/8" seams are popular. Bones can be applied with folded fabric, stitching, or bone casing.

I also need to know of intended structural details, such as metal busk, zipper closure, wooden busk, extra lacings, shoulder straps, or anything else that comes to mind.

Order a Pattern

Please contact me so we can discuss what it is you are looking for and the information I will need from you.  When the order has been agreed upon, I will require payment before making the pattern.  Most corset patterns are just $45.

After I have received all information and payment, I will do my best to have the pattern finished within a week. If I expect it to take longer than a week (due to  work or orders I have already received), I'll let you know when the order is placed.
