Bridal corset construction advice
I am making my wedding dress from scratch (in collaboration with a seamstress). I’ve only made solid corsets with coutil, and never a cupped sheer corset. I’m mainly doing the design, pattern/cutwork prep, and material sourcing.
I love the lace design of this bodice and was wondering if anyone had advice on how to approach the inner construction/what type of materials. I’d like to do something similar with the symmetrical lace appliqué over a chantilly lace.
I am a DD cup and the original dress is not cupped with foam bra cups, but has boning instead with lace covering the cups and apex. I am also loving the neckline. I would mainly change the bottom to be more of a drop waist the whole way, without the large hip gore.
I noticed the boning channels come up next to the “cup” seam and there’s no CF seam, and I like how it complements the layout of the lace appliqué, but having trouble finding a pattern I could use to go off of.
I have attached some photos of the dress when I saw it in person. If anyone has tips or advice please let me know!
