Gear underbust corselette

Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Clothing

For: Women

Style: Rock / Punk, Victorian / Steampunk, Cute, Funky


Materials

duck cloth, crushed velvet, overall buckles, industrial zipper, grommets, paracord, boning, thread

What was your inspiration?

Playing with concepts

What are you most proud of?

improving my drafting skills
the photo where its on the dress form makes it look funky, but its because I drafted and made this to fit me specifically- the dress form doesn't slope like a real ribcage, doesn't have breasts (this is cut to sit right against the under wire of my bra) and I have broad shoulders despite my smallish frame- you cannot adjust the shoulders on the dress form to reflect that...

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Like I always say TAKE YOUR TIME! If you find yourself getting frustrated, walk away and come back later. continuing to work while frustrated only seems to produce more mistakes!
