Hi! So I am looking into getting into Corsetry for the first time! I'm looking at making an 1860s Gored Corset to work with a simplicity fashion historian dress from that time period. I would prefer to keep it an overbust (adjusting padding and hips as needed) This would be my first corset ever and I've been resisting making one because of my body and I would like that to not be a barrier for me any more. I've been sewing for years and feel pretty ready to actually get into a very constructed piece. Pattern recommendations on how to alter it would be amazing. Generally long waisted so I know I need to add an inch or two to my waist.
