1 review for Period Costume for Stage & Screen 1901 Corset – Pattern Sheet 34
Rated 4 out of 5

This corset went together beautifully. I decided to try this one instead of a commercial pattern since none available came in my size. I used an overhead projector to enlarge it and made a few alterations based on the enlarged measurements before I cut out my first muslin. The pieces fit together perfectly and the only part that presented any difficulty was setting the hip pieces in smoothly. They were much easier in the coutil I used for my final corset than muslin. The work required is definitely worth it, since they really define the waist. I wouldn’t recommend this corset for a beginner, but once you’ve made a corset or two it shouldn’t present any problems.
