Pattern Description:

I created this pattern after sewing an 18th century stays. I wanted to add an accessory coordinated in the style of the era. So I added tassets at the bottom, and I imitated the boning schema.

This pattern is very easy to cut and sew. However, I recommend you make a draft in inexpensive fabric before cutting your pretty fabric. This will allow you to adjust the corset perfectly to the shape of your neck ...
