Fashion Corset ––► Athletic Corset || Redesigns, Mock-ups, & Alterations, Oh My! #CorsetryInMotion

This week I pattern a sports corset from an 1890s fashion corset, using plenty of extant examples, including a sneak peak that I got from a real life Ferris Good Sense Waist.

I decide which features of the athletic corset I want to keep, and then figure out how to alter my existing corset pattern (Symington 18788) to accommodate those changes.

I will attempt to show you guys my personal process for modifying corset patterns, based off of… well basically ZERO experience and some common sense, and all would have gone well except for some silly errors that were made along the way.

I love how colorful your patterns were, not just practical but also pretty!

Dude. You've got a gun show going on. 👍
And I agree with the logic of making the medium-lengtth version. The short version DOES look like just a boned sports bra and kind of defeats the purpose. Understanding that is exciting for some reason.

Wow, all of these videos took major time, effort, and remembering so much info. Brovo, very well done! ❤❤❤

Good tips, I'm glad I get to see your progress!

That long waist is so elegant. I can absolutely see why you'd have liked to go that route if possible. :)

Love the colour tip on the patterns! It makes so much sense and I hadn't thought of it before. I really enjoyed you breaking down you adjustment process. And as always thank you for the #corgicontent

Fascinating to see this process! Impressive work!

Lots of tips to take away from this! You make pattern adjustments seem less daunting. Thank you for sharing!

I am still here and have picked up multiple tips thank you xx

2 Ren Fair seasons ago, I made a leather corset out of a leather jacket. Many years of thinking about making myself a corset and designing it in my head. How it should fit and what features it would have. After endless patterns and mock ups of my own making. And hours of hammering grommets, zip ties for bones, hot glue, sewing. It's almost armor, and I didn't realize until I'm in it, walking through the cow fields to the actual site our Ren Fair sits. Which is a valley of un farmable land in the middle of a farm that's basically a hole into the earth that's woods, roots, Billy goat hills, and a Renaissance town built into it. I realized I could not bend over at all. I mean, AT ALL! I made the torso way too long, and basically, I was a plank of wood with knees and feet. I cut it down for last year, and it worked a little better but still no wonder society deemed them unhealthy. I could not even go to the bathroom, I could not sit down! And giggling all day because of it didn't help! 😂😂😂

The pattern looks great! Thanks for all the info and tips!

hmm... I'm wondering if, instead of a powernet panel you could overlap a bunch of elastic straps, like the way they overlap ribbons in ribbon corsets. You'd avoid the gaps, and still use an elastic style similar to that of the 1890's.

I got interrupted and now I want to watch it before bed, but I'm too tired 😫
