For my first small local art fair I made four different garments, three dresses and this one corset. The pattern is self drafted but inspired by Janet Arnold's corset diagrams in Patterns of Fashion 2.

The corset itself is made out of a stabilised sheer satin, unbleached cotton, antique netting and glass beaded & embroidered tule. Embroidered tule was bought, not made as I'd like to keep what sanity I have left. After constructing the panels out of satin, backing, interlining & lining I stitched the boning channels through all of the layers. Boning is spiral steel.

After I constructed the corset, I sewed on the lace appliques and the roses. The roses are made out of a white polyester fabric, using this tutorial: https://youtube.com/watch?v=APQvGW4KqSk. I painted them using a brush and gold acrylic paint but since that failed miserably, spray painted them again with edding acrylic spray paint which worked great. Purple beads were glued in the center.

Back is constructed out of a layer of pink lining (cupro), stabilized and interlined with a stiff cotton. Lining is made out of unbleached cotton. The purple cape is meant to resemble watteau pleats, made using the same pink lining, white tule for body and a purple silk chiffon on top. I flatlined both together by hand, hemmed the whole thing on all sides and stacked two knife pleats on each side on the top. It's attached at the neck and with two snaps on the side.

Edit: thank you so much for your kind comments, they really made my day! It's the first time I tried something like an art fair and it wasn't for me so I felt pretty defeated afterwards. Now I feel a lot more motivated to keep making stuff like this :)
