Sewing: Newest Garter Belt
6 kudoz

Newest Garter Belt

Make It

This project was made from an independent Craftsy designer's pattern:
Vintage French 1950's Style PinUp Corset »

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Accessory

For: Women

Style: Retro / Vintage, Romantic


Materials

Brocade, Crepe-backed Satin, Spiral Steel Boning, Eyelets, Ribbon

What was your inspiration?

I made this the first time and wanted to have another one in more romantic colors.

What are you most proud of?

I used spiral steel boning in this one instead of the featherweight boning. I found it to be much more comfortable to wear with the steel. I also included tabs at the bottom to add my garter straps. I have some removable straps from a store-bought corset, so why not put them to good use here?

This is lovely. Do you find it really cinches your waist in? Nice job.

I didn't tighten it all the way for pictures, but when I do, it's the perfect 50s silhouette! I probably lose at least an inch at the waist!
