My first proper corset

Hi guys!

As this group has helped me with a lot with ideas, troubleshooting and inspiration( as a silent viewer), I think it’s only fair I post my results.

I am not new to sewing but I’m also not a professional. I have seasons when sewing takes over and then I don’t touch it for months or even a year.

A co-worker of mine made a similar corset for a workshop at my job and I just fell in love with it and told her I have to make it. She said the workshop wont be until next year, but that she’ll help me with the steps if i decide to make it. So she helped me draw the sewing pattern and the mock up, and then I was ready to go! Most of it was sewn by the machine but some was sewn by hand.

Had a lot of trial and errors but I cant believe its finally done!

I’m so happy with it, and just needed to share the excitement✨

And yes, that is a skirt made from Ikea blanket. I needed a cheap hobbit costume half a year back🙈.
