This was my first corset and it was an absolute breeze to make. It is really comfortable to wear for dancing. It provides great back support. Mack sure you wear a chemise underneath the corset or the bones can cut into you a bit at the bottom of the corset.

I had to try this corset pattern. I was hoping that because the commercial patterns tend to run a little big, it would be just a matter of scaling down to get a correct fit. Scaling down worked for the waist and hip part of the corset. It fit pretty snug, but I had to re adjust the bust a lot. I am not very busty and it came out more closer to a c cup, but there was no sizing for cup size indicated on the pattern. The instructions are brief. You are better with diagrams. The corset does go together pretty swiftly body wise. You will have to fit for the bust, but you have to do that anyway when using any corset pattern. This is a fairly straight-forward pattern.
The chemise made up very quickly. I don’t have any complaints other than that fun off the shoulder mid Victorian chemise shape can be irritating when all dolled up and you keep feeling it slip a bit. Overall, satisfactory.
