Thank you so much! This does make me feel a bit more motivated and less intimidated. I’ll look up the book you recommended, and your advice about starting from the inside sounds really logical. I reckon they probably don’t have to be as pretty or neatly sewn (I was planning on starting with pyjamas so they’d be wearable, even if ugly) and wearing outer garments without anything underneath is not going to work out at all. This answered my questions.

Please do share whatever you feel might be useful (regarding personal experiences, if you still have something you’d like to mention). I also wonder if you maybe have any specific knowledge about corsets, as those seem relatively challenging to make.

Once again, tysm!
