The Mme. McCabe Corset: Plus-sized Antique Corset for Working Women by Danine Cozzens

Naturally I noticed the vintage corset lying in the antique store, but since extant pieces are usually cut for Scarlett O’Hara, I passed it by. A few minutes later, my companion was brandishing it about. “I think this would fit you,” she exclaimed. It had to be late 1880s... she held it up to me, and she was right. Even over a t-shirt, it was clearly a perfect fit.

Danine looks in detail at this extraordinarily lucky find, and then makes us a pattern.
