Just a little follow-up about my new YouTube Video on:
Atelier John F. Clement
After my short Introduction video and the Videos about how to take the measurements and calculate the rest, to create your own personal patterns, my demonstration until now have been about how to create a skirt-, a dress- and sleeve pattern that fits perfectly.
In the videos, I went through the Construction step-by-step. If you want to follow along and create the pattern yourself, you can download the Size Chart for free in the description under the Videos and evt. purchase the instruction, if you don't want to look at the Video over and over again.
My new video is about how you can create a corset pattern, based on the dress pattern.
The execution of a corset is something else. To decide what kind of shape you want, what kind of material, interfacing, boning, lining and closure to choose, can be somewhat of a challenge.
Not to mention, which sewing techniques to use. There is so many ways of doing it. I recommend you to do some research; think it through and make a plan.
Here is a few examples:
These two couture corsets are inspired by historical corsets, just simplified. They both consists of an enforced outer layer; violet silk taffeta with hand sewn velour ribbons to enhance the shape and vintage silk. They are both boned and fully lined with lace closure and about a size 10.
Check out an old blog-post about historical corset here.
For inspiration, take a look at Designer dresses and Wedding dresses in the Menu above, to see what's possible.
Check out the Video and let me know if you have any questions or need some help.
