How to Make an Edwardian Corset Cover Without a Sewing Pattern | Historical Sewing Tutorial

In this video, I show you how to make a simple, easy Edwardian corset cover without a sewing pattern! I made this corset cover with repurposed materials and fabric scraps, and you can too!

This style of corset cover is historically accurate and appropriate for wearing with early 1900s and 1910s style clothing. It also makes a cute cottagecore or summertime blouse!

Supplies for making this corset cover: embroidered fabric (or fabric with a strip of lace sewn to the top); lace, ribbon, or fabric for straps; ribbon to cinch the neckline; buttons; scraps of fabric for the placket and waistband.

I was looking for a simple corset cover that didn't require too many materials. This is perfect! I know exactly what stuff I have in my stash I can use :D

I'm recreating my great grandmother's wedding outfit, and this is the exact thing I need! Thanks!

This is so cute! I made a corset cover out of an old pink cotton nightgown. It had lace trim, tucks, and ribbon trimmed with ruffles for the straps. All I had to do was cut it off, take some fullness out of the back and make a drawstring channel around the waist.

Oh, thanks for this. I'm embarking on a new era and need everything. I've started with a 1905 shirtwaist that I had a chance to pattern test, but I absolutely need a corset cover in order to properly wear my finished project. This is just what I needed!

I love the tips about making the back shorter than the front, it like so pretty and authentic. I am making a fitted chemise at the moment, not sure if they actually ever existed, it's going to be like a pair of combinations but skirted

So cute!! I love the elastic fitting tip!
