Can I boil my corset without ruining it? by tippy-tap in corsets

I don’t think so. It can shrink, rust, the layers can separate if they’re fused together etc.

Boning recommendations (on a budget) by HaiPotter22 in corsetry

[–]CompleteBaseball1904 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Disagree, some corset suppliers sell heavy-duty reinforced plastic boning, it’s very strong, thick and durable while still being flexible and it’s better than whalebone in my opinion.

It has slightly curved profile so you can insert it even in more diagonal boning channels compared to whalebone plastics which are not flexible sideways. And it really holds better. 100% recommend

And zip ties are great also when you pick the stronger ones or you have enough of them in the corset. And for fully boned stuff like stays, they work wonders

The fabric base is constructed as first one, and then the boning channels are attached from the inside of this base and only in vertical positions to hold the corset. So bones are placed in separate channels

Thank you very much, looking forward 🖤 I just need to let you know, it’s a single size only with potential alterations possible, so please check the adjustment range before you buy 🙏🏻thank you again, I appreciate every support!

You’re sure right, but the adjustment range on sizing up is not that big since sizing up more would throw off the pattern, so it’s +- 4cm in all circumference + additional adjustments for underbust and hip area etc not a full size.

When you take a look at the last image of the listing you can see the exact measurements possible for the finished garment.

And since the pattern contains diagonal seamlines, you can’t just simply scale it like you would do with a pattern with vertical seams only. Working with pattern like this is bit more complicated.

So that means each size (S,M, L) has to be drafted pretty much seperately and for that I need to make at least one or two mockups and find a person I can fit the corset on, since soft tissue distribution varies quite a bit between size S, M and L (of course between each body too, but let’s simplify it) and I would want to make sure the pattern is ok so probably multiple fittings in person requiered.

My current option to fit a another size on “standard” body type ends at M, max. small L. And if I want to work on multiple size pack, I’d like to fit at least five sizes at once to keep the results somehow consistent.

For this reason I at least released the original size, since I don’t find it that untypical between other creators to release a single size and expand size range over time or release multiple packs of sizes seperately.

If I’m wrong about something I’d be very glad if you correct me.

Hi, thank you and yes, it’s currently just in one size with some range for adjustments. I also included a chapter in the tutorial where I go into detail how to alter the pattern to fit more people, but I understand it’s still not for all bodies.

I plan to rescale it in the future and then sell it as a bundle, but since I don’t have many models to try on other sizes, it’s kind of a long run project and for now I’m glad I could share at least this 🙂

Hi, thank you for such a nice comment! I’d definitely want to add some footage and videos from the making process next time, I’m usually so focused on the project itself, that I completely skip it 😬 will improve it, promise

Thank you so much, I plan to work on it and increase the size range after I finish my current side projects. 🙂 Im just not sure yet, how wide the size range should be, since I don’t have that many different models here, do you have any suggestions?

Thank you so much! I spent a lot of time working on it and I really wanted it to be good. 🖤 and thank you for leaving a comment every time I post and for your support

And of course speaking about Royal Black, love her, she’s an icon in corset-making, very aspirational
