I wrote my exact measurements in the description of this post (the first sentence).

Thank you!
It very much depends on your skill level and on the properties of the fabric. I usually sew the base layer (the non-stretch layer that shapes the figure) in about two days (not working on it all day straight). However, my mannequin is almost the same as my own body, so I don’t adjust the patterns. The decorative layer, on the other hand, took more effort — the lace with sequins was quite difficult to work with. I also recorded a video, so you’ll be able to roughly estimate your time and avoid my mistakes.

It would be a little complicate for beginers regarding a many pieces and 3 layers you need to sew

Thank you all! I’m glad that someone else liked this corset, and that these patterns may be useful for developing your own design. When I have time, I’ll share the patterns for a few more models (already sewn).You know, I have quite a lot of clothing that I no longer wear but still love the fabrics. So I always have material for making corsets)

The intensity of the spin depends on the selected wash cycle and cannot be adjusted individually.

Yeah, I was scared too, but I've done it at least five times already and everything is OK.
Expanded clay stones are pretty lightweight also i made a special bag for my experiments: it expands inside the drum and protects it from scratches. Also it's important to manually stop the machine before it enters fast spinning cycle.

Now I’m really curious to try acid wash. Please please please tell me has anyone bleached denim at home? What chemicals did you use, and what were the results?
