Foundations Revealed

If you've ever made a corset, Foundations Revealed^TM is going to rock your world. Whether you're an enthusiastic amateur or a seasoned pro, this site will bring you all the corset making instruction you've always wished you could find on the Internet, but that no-one was willing to reveal.

Working as a professional corsetmaker, bridal designer, costume maker and teacher has enabled Cathy Hay and her team of writers and contributors to identify the problems faced by those who wish to make fine corsets.

Importantly, she discovered that it may not be the makers themselves who cause their creations to fail, but rather a lack of communication: experienced makers believe they must guard their "secrets" in order to stay in business, and new makers start out believing that they must learn everything alone by trial and error, wasting valuable time, money and effort.

This website closes the gap between these two groups by sharing information on fine, professional quality corset making and historically-themed underwear construction with a worldwide online audience. We pay our writers so that these busy professionals have the time and incentive to show you what you really want to know in step-by-step detail, and subscribers contribute to those costs so that we can produce six new features every single month. Not only will your US$9.97 monthly subscription give you access to these six new features - you'll also have access during the month to everything we've published in previous months.

All you need is a Paypal account, meaning that you have complete control - you can cancel any time through your own Paypal. (This keeps us on our toes producing features that offer the very best and clearest how-tos, ensuring that your work becomes the very best and that you stick around for more!) We make sure that we're giving you what you need with regular surveys and polls, so whether your sticking point is fitting plus sizes, drafting, getting boning channels around curves smoothly, or whether you want patterns from real Victorian corsets and flossing ideas directly from the past, we can give you what you need.

For you, this means that you get more confident, your drafting, fitting, sewing and finishing start to fly headlong towards the finest professional standards, and you get to realise your corsetmaking dreams with the closest thing that the 21st century can offer to a true apprenticeship from Victorian masters. All this for a lot less than the average college course, and we even offer a no-quibble money-back guarantee - if you're not completely satisfied, you can cancel any time during your first month and receive a full refund.

By re-kindling the culture of apprenticeship in a modern, technological age, we can return to a world in which true craftsmanship is once again loved, appreciated and shared successfully for the greatest advantage to everyone.

If you're into corsetmaking and you know anything at all about our award-winning sister site, Your Wardrobe Unlock'd^TM, you'll know all about how we work. Come with us, and enter a world in which truly outstanding work is not only possible, but achievable...
