Tartan corset
Speaking of tartan (or plaid, or scot fabric, whatever), which I love, the first overbust corset I made was this. The pattern was a little too big, and I had to cut’n’sew the top edge of the finished product again because it was too long (mock-ups, what’s that?).
It is a little wide in the front, and doesn’t have a bone in the middle, and it’s more like a top than a corset as it doesn’t even take much in from the waist, though it is sturdy. This was my first experiment with synthetic whalebone, and it worked really well. When fixing this corset I got a “heureka”-moment and understood to better sew the whole thing, a method I’ve since used. I might sell the thing, since I don’t use it a lot, but it’s really hard to do so.. My baby. :(
