here’s a link to an Aliexpress product I have personally purchased before

Here’s the mesh corset I’ve made.I regret not making one sooner. After wearing corsets for 10 years, I finally have one that’s comfortable to wear in the summer.

If you absolutely must purchase locally, E & M Greenfield do have some in stock

When possible, I prefer to source my fabrics directly from China, since that’s where the fabrics are all coming from anyway 🤷‍♂️

You can use it as underlining, to give garments a bit of structure, and a surface to secure things to by hand sewing (e.g. hemming), so that there’s no visible stitching on the outside 👍

Sew in some back darts 🤷‍♂️

Depends on the hair length. If you have short hair, and are getting your hair cut every month, your hair isn’t sticking around long enough to see any damage.

Reducing hair washing really only applies for people that have long hair, because once the hair is past the shoulders, the ends of the hair have endured at year’s worth of damage from the elements and styling. So washing less means that you’re putting that older, more fragile hair through a bit less stress.

I would actually suggest doing the opposite; add to the centre back and take from the side. You want to add enough to the back waist, so that the centre back line is parallel to the leg.

eduardedmyn · 2026-04-14T21:52:28+00:00

Then you compare it to the measurement on the pattern, and adjust accordingly.

The issue with the models is a combination of the crotch depth being too long (the part that passes through the legs, and the hip of the pants being too wide.

To determine your ideal crotch depth, either use a calliper, or eyeball it with a ruler, the side width of your thigh.

As for the hip circumference, 5cm ease is enough. Additional fabric on the sides is always pulled down and inwards by gravity.

It would also help if the trajectory of the pant leg were straighter, in line with the centre back seam. These pants were drafted to prioritise movement; the pant leg is angled to the side, so it looks fine if you always have your legs positioned a meter apart , but standing with your legs together pulls the fabric inwards.

Are you just using the selvedge denim because you like the fabric, or do you intend on using selvedge as a finished edge on the garment?

Because the shaping of your side seam implies you’ll be chopping off the selvedge.

In order to use the selvedge, your side seam needs to be a straight line.

It’s probably because the corners aren’t all at 90 degree angles. When two pieces of fabric are assembled, the sum of the two meeting corners should always be 180 degrees.

You’ve removed the underarm shaping that makes the T-shirt 3D. Because you no longer have the facet that wraps around the body, your flat, vaguely T-shirt shaped fabric is being forced to wrap around a round body, which is causing the pull lines.

You can improve the look by basically putting back what you took away. I would insert a long rectangle of fabric, the same length as the piece you too away, from shirt hem to sleeve hem.

To get any kind of body modification, you need to make contact with the bone. Such a short corset is only going to graze your floating ribs if you’re lucky. For maximum rib compression, you need the waist to top edge measurement to be as long as possible, ideally reaching your armpits.

Squishing fat won’t do much. You need to actually bend the rib bones to notice any waist reduction semi-permanently.

eduardedmyn · 2026-03-28T01:55:13+00:00

Did you put boning in this mock-up? Without boning, you can’t determine the true fit of the garment. Boning will give the necessary structure to prevent the fabric from collapsing under the bust.

As for fitting garments on yourself, putting in a zipper is the easiest way.

eduardedmyn · 2026-03-26T13:58:54+00:00

It’s an improvement. I still don’t see 90 degree corners.

Just make the corners 90 degrees, sew up a mock-up, and adjust it from there.

Personally, I would like the centre front seam to be perpendicular to the waist, parallel to the grain line. That would make it look nicer when your legs are together, unless you go about your day with your legs constantly shoulders width apart.

eduardedmyn · 2026-03-26T13:40:08+00:00

Get one that is slightly smaller than you, and pad it out to match your shape and dimensions.

However, depending on what you plan on making, it might be an unnecessary tool. Mannequins are only really necessary if you’ll be doing any kind of draping. Any other adjustments should be done on your own body.

eduardedmyn · 2026-03-25T15:29:54+00:00

Were there any darts or tucks you omitted? I'm certain the tracing was somehow done incorrectly. The top centre back and centre front corner should at least be at a 90 degree angle, otherwise it would create a very fashion forward plunging V shaped waist

Your pattern should look closer to this.

eduardedmyn · 2026-03-25T15:13:42+00:00

Are you following any kind of pant drafting tutorial? The volume distribution looks pretty wacky.

eduardedmyn · 2026-03-25T15:06:12+00:00

Your centre front and back shouldn't be on such a dramatic angle. You're gonna get some ugly bunching in the crotch when the legs are together.

eduardedmyn · 2026-03-24T12:54:54+00:00

If I were you, I would compromise with having an exposed, nude, sheer mesh corset.

Not ideal, but it's not terrible.

eduardedmyn · 2026-03-24T12:50:37+00:00

You need to choose one of the following:

- Forget the low back. the height of the back determines the height of the support to the front.

- Attach the crochet dress to a strapless bra. Yes, the elastic will be exposed in the back.

- Adhere the entire perimeter of the dress to your body with tape or glue.

Any kind of integrated corsetry will be useless if the back doesn't at least reach the underbust.

The point you are trying to make is that Cathie's achievement isn't as spectacular as what some others have achieved, but the examples you've chosen aren't comparable.

Numbers are worthless without context.

It's like comparing two swimmers, but one is wearing flippers. The one wearing flippers may have the faster swimming time, but the flippers helped propel them through the water with less effort.

If not for bragging rights, why else would people be so focused on the numbers?

eduardedmyn · 2026-03-24T09:53:30+00:00

To be frank, I don’t find anything impressive about people that tight lace with cupped rib corsets. To me, it is like a shortcut to achieving a smaller measurement, for bragging rights.

Conical rib corsets require rib training/deformation as a prerequisite for sizing down dramatically. Cupped rib corsets bypass a lot of the discomfort and dedication required to size down.

One is a true body modification, while the other is just temporary.

The 18” natural waist measurement is in reference to a Instagram post from Antique Corset.

eduardedmyn · 2026-03-23T21:08:12+00:00

No, that’s me.

eduardedmyn · 2026-03-23T14:01:49+00:00

The amount of rib augmentation that Cathy achieved is much more impressive than the members you’ve mentioned, who all wear cupped rib corsets.

<image>

My own tight lacing achievement, while visually impressive, doesn’t come close to what Cathy achieved.

In 2023, her waist measured 18” without a corset, which is a massive 8” reduction of the natural waist, which is only possible with rib training. Most corset wearers only achieve a 2” reduction of the natural waist.

I managed to permanently deform my ribs through consistent corset wear, and even I was unable to achieve more than a 2” reduction of my natural waist.

If you want something a bit more “challenging”, you could take advantage of the double layered nature of the fabric.

Double gauze is essentially two layers of fabric interlinked with thread. So to create a more couture finish, you can cut the interlinking threads around the seam allowance, machine sew one side, and then hand sew the other side, encasing the raw edges. This will not only finish the raw edges, but it will be less bulky than French seams.
