How to make a corset - Foundations Revealed

My corset to share with you this month is a drab coutil corset. (The word "drab" refers to its colour, rather than inferring that it’s a boring corset!)

It uses machine corded fabric instead of bones to stiffen the panels into an impressively curvaceous shape. It also has a sturdy spoon shaped busk.

There is no maker's mark inside it, but it has clearly been created by a professional corsetiere.

She covers different threads to use, the right needles and the basic stitches as well how to design your own decorative, yet functional, flossing designs.
