i am a bit confused is this just one side? please help someone

mind has just blown up T.T I am rubbish at maths and this seems mathematical O.O

I'm thinking it would be a better idea to bone the corset aswell to give it more hold and shape. go to this website: http://www.elizabethancostume.net/custompat/index.html and it lets you enter your measurements and it tells you exacticaly how to structure the corset pattern. But this site is less confusing for the actual making of the corset but the other is simpler and is more understandable for the pattern. xx Just a helpfull tip.

I dont get instruction number five because when I take my waist measurement, I get 35 and then you're supposed to minus 2, and divide by two. Which brings me to 16.5, but instead of the diagonal line inward, it goes out? Because 16.5 is MUCH MUCH more than my farthest to the left point. Sorry I hope that made sense

And for all those other people who are confused about the cup issue, go to that link I posted. She explains it in more detail. Just leave off the pointy part if that's not what you're into.

This looks a hell of a lot like the instructions from Drea Leed (http://www.elizabethancostume.net/corsets/pattern.html). In fact, it looks exactly the same, only this one skipped/marred a few small parts (marking the bust point, for one). Don't get me wrong. I appreciate you guys a lot. But give credit where it's due. Plagiarism sucks really bad.

Hey this is pretty awesome and i was wondering if you have a video for the more hands-on learners like me? It would be awseome to hear back :] You Guys Rock! Much Love, Hannah

I wouldn't recommend marking any farther down for the bust line than the 1-3 inches for A-C. Mostly because at that point you're marking the sides of the corset out, and you're going to end up with something incredibly short at the sides and back if you have a larger chest. I am a DD, and don't think it would be a good idea to cut down 5 inches - the sides would simply be too short. I recommend adding some kind of instructions/addendum for women beyond C, maybe a different pattern that works in the same way, etc. Hopefully you follow what I'm saying. :D Otherwise, a great idea for a pattern, very easy to follow, doesn't require a lot of complex math.

I'm going to try this tomorrow... Hope it works out in jeans too...

thank you. can't wait to try this pattern!

HI! You recommend any fabric to do the corset in special?

4 for d 5 for dd and so on i guess

I also would need a bigger bust size for the corset to fit a DD help please

I have a question about modifying the pattern for a bigger bust. You give instructions for how far down to draw the Xs on step 3 for up to a C cup. But I wear a DDDD or FF bra (depending on model). Would I draw the Xs 5.5 inches down, or is there a different modification I need to do?

That's awesome. A bit confusing but I think I got it.

that is so cool but when could you wear it???

wow.. this is really good... hope that we'll have your show here in philippines... :) love threadbanger a lot!!! weeee ;)

Other than that, this patter is pretty sweet and I cant wait to try it

thanks girls i am making one to try Thanks for your ideas let me know if u have more Thanks Donna64

I am so confused about the first green X How do you know where to put it as far as the horizontal goes??? Also, whats up with the bottom curve not hitting that middle (the 1/2X) Other than that, this patter is pretty sweet and I cant wait to try it

i have a question... is the subtract 2 for the front connection with the ribbon, so that both panels dont touch? If anyone knows pleese answer

I was wondering if you had a pattern for a corset that just goes on the tummy area. Cuz i wanna make one of those too....

I have a question about this... I -REALLY- want to make this corset pattern for myself, but ahh.. What should be done for bust sizes that go beyond a D cup?

I LOVE this site! I have been trying to find a cool sewing link that is NOT full of ducks and hearts! thanks

great! if you want to add bones, that can´t be too hard?

i love how its a custom fit! really cool!

thank you soo much. T_T

smart idea, thank you, perfect for my large rib cage and yet small breast. i have never fit in any corset.

thanks so much! cant wait till i can try this! i have some material waiting...

this is awesome, I love corsets but the ones I like cost way to much and I've got alot of really cool t-shirts that don't fit that i've been wanting something to do with.

I was looking for something to give my friend becuz her birthday is in like 3 weeks so YEAH!!! I have something thanks alot!!

(1) Corsets will keep their shape better if they are boned along the eyelet edge. For a front-laced "fashion corset" (such as the one created here), normal plastic boning from the fabric shop will do. Turn the garment, leaving at least 1" unsewn on either the top or bottom edge. In from the center front, sew a channel about 1/4" wider than the boning, stopping about 1" from the unfinished edge. Cut two pieces of boning to size about 1.5" shorter than the front seam, and slip one piece into each channel. Finish the open edge. When you place your eyelets, place them about 1/4" from the boning channels. For firmer boning, you can use large heavy (3/8" - 1/2" wide by 24" long) cable ties from Home Depot and cut them down to size. If you are big-busted (C-cup or larger), you may prefer your corset to have even more support, either "corded" or fully-boned. Check out Drea Leed's corset-generator page (http://www.elizabethancostume.net/custompat/). Drea's pattern gives an historically accurate shape for the Elizabethan era. The instructions for creating the corset from the pattern include instructions for variations on the design as well as diagrams for fully boning a back-laced corset.

OMG!!! i've been looking for a relatively easy to follow corset pattern and i found it!!! thanks so much!

can't wait to try this! thanks alot, guys!

Thank you i have been looking for this for a long time and you are the first ones to make it idiot proof :) Thanks guys!

Love it so much, but a tiny bit confusing about where exactly to place the different Xs and curved lines...
