I wouldn't make this costume, but it gave me some great ideas. Great job!
Also, if you really want to use matching thread instead of dental floss, millinery shops have blocks of wax they run the thread across before sewing. A bees wax candle might be good for that because it's so soft.
That is so cool. Perfect recycling. Just what I was saying to my husband the other day - no one makes their own costume anymore -- I'm glad to see it. We had to make ours when we were kids.
It looks awesome. :D
If I wasn't lazy I'd make one of these, but... What could I use instead of leather? My mom basically got me into being anti-fur and leather when I was like, 3, and even though it's used already it just wouldn't feel right to use it.
Here's an idea... hit your local fabric store when they've got a sale going and pick up some black naugahide (I'm spelling it wrong! whee!) - it's got that same kind of solid structure, but it's entirely man made. Only problem is it has a white backing, but you could probably dye that or paint it somehow, and really it wouldn't matter on the corset - whatever was showing you could just magic-marker the crap out of. Happy sewing!
I LOVE the corset! I am definitly going to make one for everyday wear. I am hella excited to do that one project where I can create a body mold so I have somewhere to pin my clothes. Thanks!!
I just got the heads up for these great halloween videos... wow you guys do an amazing job! You also couldn't of picked a cuter host then Corinne btw.. love the chin dimple!
I've loved being a Pirate since I was a little girl, but I haven't been one in a while because just like itssxannie says, the cute ones are way expensive! Could this be my first DYI super project? Halloween is just around the corner so I'm super excited for this--off to the Fabric store !!
I love the fact that you have Threadbanger Dental Floss...where is your on-line store so I can purchase this and other fine select TB merch? FYI...FANTASTIC costume Corinne, great job!!! -Steve C
I just happened to stumble across the link to this video. I'd never heard of Corinne but she kicks serious butt!! I'm an accomplished seamstress and just finished a pirate costume myself but her ideas are awesome and easy enough for anyone. Go girl!
YARRRR!!! Take to the high seas with Corinne as she transforms an old pair of leather pants and work shirt into and entire pirate costume. All for under 10 swashbucklin bucks. Now this is an awesome halloween costume!
YAY! another halloween episode! WOOT! luv u corinne!!
(p.s., woo! im first! :P)
YARR! That be worth waiting forr, and Verry ARR-tistic!
No seriously, GREAT job. I wanna do the puffy shirt treatment to an everyday blouse!
all I have to say is: I love this site.
Wow that was awesome!
That corset idea was really great, it would look good on other things :)
I think that was uber cute...i think if you took the hat and scarf off...it would just be something cute for a girl to wear.

This is an awesome costume. I may already have a hat, but this is a great tutorial for making more! Everyone needs a leather tricorn! Thanks Corrine!
