Underwear corset
The other corsets I’ve done have been “outerwear”, but finally finished doing an underwear corset, to wear under snug sausagey tops and such, made of cotton and lace. :D
It has only two layers, but the fabric is this really stiff cotton stuff.. I’m definitely gonna use it again for lining! Used synthetic whalebone as the boning, and some decorative lace and red satin ribbon + cotton bias binding. It turned out pretty good, used a overbust pattern which I modified to be underbust. In the first picture the sides show a little crumpling of the fabric, but it isn’t that noticeable actually. Next time might add a little bit more height to under the arms, but it still quite excellent. Already used it once at a VNV Nation gig last Sunday (w00t!) and it proved worthy and comfy :)
Heh, actually it *could* also be used as a “outerwear” corset at some christmas party, elf costume maybe. ;) jingle jingle. The grommets are by Prym I believe, the type you put into this small plastic setter and bang it with a hammer. I have never had any pop so far, but then again I give them a really good beating (one the neighbors can hear too).
