the only time i got confused was figuring out how you did the channels for the boning.. i read the part about adding the seam to each side of the main seams connecting the layers then you cleaned up the front and all of a sudden you had channels for boning to be put in.. i dont know if i got confused or if you skipped it.. help!
@bengalkisses I think what you mean is in 5:40. I didn't put the images in the same order as they were when I made the pictures, so the channels have an appearance before I actually start talking about them. Sorry for the confusion^^
@carolinnev yo he encontrado un weblog donde te lo explican todo en español, lo único es que es en texto no en video, tambien te dice como hacer tu propio patrón y todo ^^
@Nandanyx where exactly do u get thm for 20$ cuz ive got a really big dance coming up & it wud make it uber awesome if i had a shaped bod so i look cuter! thanx a million!!!! : )
That's brilliant! I don't know whether English is your first language or not, but I understood that! Sometimes I had to pause and work it out in my head, but it's not difficult to understand, sometimes you just need to stop and think about it for a second or two. This is the most detailed corset-making video I've seen so far, I think i'm going to start looking for resources so I can make my own!
quick question about the adding the eyelets. did you cut holes into the fabric first or did you do something else. sorry if this is kind of a dumb question, but i'm a beginner and other than that part i understood everything perfectly.
LOL... That what-ever-it's-called fabric you wrap around your edges is called bias tape... an awsome way to finish raw edges... :) Kudoz on the video, it was very informative.... 5 stars :)
I only have one big question....How i make the patterns to fit my body? I mean...Those are patterns with a kind of weird form xD, i dont know how to like know where, in my body, does each of the patterns gonna be on...If you can please explain me how to do this i will be so grateful!! Pleasee :D
BTW: I dont even speak english like a native lenguage and i understood the whole video! so cool :D
@mafe2405 I have a video up on how I usually make my patterns... other than that I think there are pretty good patterns one can buy online, there also should be an explanation going with it, but I never tried that out for myself so I'm not quite sure^^
@Goldkehlchen20 Thank you so much!!..I love victorian fashion and design, but unfortunately i wasnt able to study fashion design, actually im studying Products Design Enginner, but i hope that someday i will be able to incorpore fashion design on it, by now im kinda fighting with a sewing machine that my uncle send to me as a present, ´cause obviously i have no knowledge of sewing at all, so thank you so much for helping me with ur videos in order to be able to design and sew.
...Does anyone else understand this? If you could make a video talking us through all of it while u make one that would be SO helpful. begging u to do this video haha please please try :> nice corset by the way :)
lol i love this video! very helpful and i love your terms!! i have yet to make a corset, and plan on it this summer! i'll be using your vid! i teach sewing classes and i always love to hear what people lable the terms they dont know! 4:17 is called stitch in the ditch for the future, but your wording was perfect!
@Aarachne Jaaa das wurde mir mittlerweile schon ein paar Mal gesagt, dass das "bias tape" heißt, aber ich freu mich immer wieder, wenn ich's höre. Bedeutet ja, dass die Menschen noch hilfsbereit sind^^
Um auf deine Frage zu antworten: Das Schnittmuster hatte ich damals selbst gemacht.
hattest du da eine "anleitung" dafür? aus einem buch oder von einer website oder so? Weil ich habe bis jetzt noch keine entdeckt, bei der ich wirklich draus gekommen bin..
@Aarachne Nee Anleitung hatt ich leider auch nicht, war eher so ein 'Och ich guck mal ob das so funktioniert'-Ding... sollte man immer mal ausprobiert haben wenn man grad Stoff übrig hat^^
@Goldkehlchen20 Vielleicht müsste ich mich also mal einfach ransetzen.. und ein bissl rumprobieren.. aber erst, wenn ich auch wirklich zeit habe und nicht nur so tue.. ^^
I am an avid corset maker and have been teaching myself to read and understand the patterns I have. The one part I have been having difficulty on is the back wear it says to cut 4 pieces of fabric out for the side back and back. It says 2 of those pieces will be used as facing. I really am lost at this point I'm not sure how to put them all together back there! Any Ideas? I have fused the pieces with interfacing as well and having boning to apply as of yet. Anyone got any advice please?
Now, i know you can use ribbon, but for someone like me, who like the corset tight, the ribbon might stretch and break. I know they use a kind of shoe string like string. what is that called?
@NoonJoon A thick, non-elastic cotton should work, if you want to be absolutely sure take a jeans-like fabric or order special corset-fabric for the inside-layer online^^
@noonealive123 Making it right onto the body usually spares from size-questions. I have a video up on how I do the patterns but I admit it might not be too helpful... in any case there are patterns available to buy which come in specific sizes and with detailed instructions^^
You talked about sizes. I can't speak English very good, but i want to question - you talked about sizes... Errr... 'Parts' of this corset? Because I don't know how long or wide I must cut those parts. If you had a video with that, please add it again. Maybe it will be helpful.
Thank you! this helps alot! what woulld you do if you wante the corset to be two different colours? like red on one side and black on the other? just cut out the sides from the different fabric?
How do I get the patter you used? I'm not really good with measurements and I'm curious if I can download the patterns, just asking since I'm new at making a corset or any complex type of clothing.
@anie6142 actually, if you toy with google, there are a lot of sites that offer free corset patterns and how tos on how to make them. though if you suck at measuring stuff i'd suggest just buying the pattern in your size at a fabric store.
If you're an amature, this is quite a decent way to make your own corset, even though i would strongly recommend using a non-elastic waistband in the corset to prevent the corset from stretching at the waist when tightend.
I'm a Professional Corsetmaker, and the way i make my corsets is verry different from this video.
But as i said, if you're an amature, this is probably one of the easiest ways to do it :)
Hi, Ive been following your video logs on making a corset, and they are very helpful videos! I have been sewing mine for a month (I have to do it all by hand because I have no sewing machine) and it seems to be turning out well. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
This was an excellent video. I haven't seen very much high quality sewing since i graduated from design school five years ago. Good job. If u need any dwsign tips i am your girl, sewing is not my strong suit
Awesome video! I love watching it. And the corset is so beautiful!!! I just have one question. Should I use fusible interfacing? I bought this lovely fabric (black with purple flowers) and I want it to be the outside of the corset, but it's kinda stretchy. Should I use interfacing on it or just buy less stretchy fabric?
@DarkNinjaChick Not quite sure what you mean with 'interfacing'... in general the material for the outside can be a little bit stretchy if you know how to work with the material, but you should make sure that the middle-layer is very strong and does not stretch.
Your sewing skills are very impressive. I have tried to make a corset before without such beautiful results. But just so you know the tape you put on the top and bottom is called bias tape. I believe you were using double sided bias tape,
This is a stunninly (if thats even a word) beutiful corset! It looks fantastic!
However, I hate to sound if I'm complaining when im not, but I got a bit confused at the "sewing the three layers together part" Could you perhaps comment/PM a more acurate explanation? Like what side the roses would be facing for each layer?
I'm sorry if Iyts a bother - but it's a wonderful corset and tutorial. Thank you so much!
@milesxofxsmilesx I made a video-diary on a corset I made it's more detailed than this video, just look it up in my 'corset'-playlist maybe it helps... if you have any further questions you can pm me of course^^
@Goldkehlchen Hola vi todo el vídeo super interesante, el problema es que no entiendo ingles :(, si pudieras subirlo en español te estaría agradecida. saludos
This corset is BEAUTIFUL! I just want to know before I start if it's the kind of corset that can suck everything in! Is it a decorative corset or can it be used in the traditional sense?
@TempeBrennanBooth I'd say it's kind of a hybrid... it can be used to restrict the belly, but it can also be worn losely, depending on what the wearers size is.
Perfect!!! exactly what i need for my Poison Ivy costume this year, now all i have to do is figure out how to measure for, and make the pattern pieces... any ideas?
This is awesome!! Can u do corsets with leather cos I'm doing like a kinda armour like costume and I'm making a corset for it but since it's like armour I want to do a leather one and I wasn't sure cos I've only made corsets from this weird cottony kinda fabric
@crisy003 I've tried satin, taffeta and some thick cotton-fabric, in general I'd say anything except for strech and transparent stuff like tulle or chiffon should be working^^
@Goldkehlchen20 with the inspiration and help from your video I made my very first corset, I made the pattern lightly different, plus mine was an overbust with a flat neckline, I used a thicker antique looking patterned cotton, I think the trick was all of the layers, mine turned out beautifully! I just wish I could have found steel boning. I only found plastic, is it possible to eventually replace it though?
@crisy003 Yes I think that's possible I took one steel-peice out to repair it once and I could easily put it back in, so replacing plastic with steel should be not much of a problem^^
@Goldkehlchen20 Thank you so much! My victorian inspired Marie Antoinette masquerade costume is all coming together, thanks so much for your awesome corset video! It really helped me with my detail work!
@Goldkehlchen20 Yeah, probably, the victorian style is what inspired me, but my costume will be more similar to something that Marie Antoinette would wear. My corset has actually turned out stunningly. I used a brocade type of vintage looking cream and gold fabric. It's pretty nice!
@crisy003 you might want a natural fabric for the lining, like cotton canvas. but make sure it does not stretch. And for the out side, you could use anything from muslin (for a simple one), to a brocade (for a more elaborate one). I didn't make the video but I have made a corset before.
@fkgu2000 I'm afraid I don't remember... I made it right onto the body so I didn't really pay attention to the length of the pieces. I could ask the person I made it for to lend it to me once more so I can check but that might take a while and success depends on the circumstances^^
ok.... I'm going over the steps and looking at your demonstration...and what i was seeing is that you cut and sewed two layers of regular fabric, then cut and sewed a 3rd layer which is the pretty fabric?
@myemodeath I don't wuite get what you're asking sorry. Are you asking which is the prettiest fabric and what impact would that have on what it should be facing?
@Goldkehlchen20 no, i was wondering how many layers there were, and if you used two types of fabric, one fabric for the inside and one fabric for the outside.
Thank you so much for posting this!!! For years i have read books and magazines and patterns to try making corsets but none made sense to me! This vid makes perfect sense-thank you, thank you, and thank you again!
p.s.
The "Whatever it is" is called Double foled bias tape.
This is beautiful =) I never used a sewing machine but the only reason why I want to use one, is to do my own corsets. I can't find any that fits me, I'm too small -_-'
wow, thanks...this is a pretty great instructional. i am sewing savy...have attempted to make a corset pattern out of my head before and been mildly successful...however, i do believe i can actually rage it after watching this.
@rachellgirly Well if you're too afraid there's always the option of just ordering one online, there are also people who review the corsets they bought if you're unsure about the quality^^
@colorfulwinter2 I have a couple of videos in my playlist where I show the entire process you can have a look at them then you'll see what is required^^
Love the corset! What are the layers? I'm trying to make a corset for myself and I know the outerlayer is the fabric you want to show off, I have brocade and the lining that touches the body is something else like a cotton but what should the middle be? What did you use? I keep getting told to use canvas interfacing but I can't find that anywhere so I was hoping you used something else hehe or had any ideas of alternatives : ) Did you have to use a Corset Busk?
I used some sort of thick jeans-fabric for the inner layer, you know not this stretch-stuff but the really stiff material that is almost indestructable.
And no I didn't use a corset busk I don't like ordering things online... even though they're really practical in concept^^
One layer, the middle-layer. When you look at the corset from the side close to the seam, there will be two pieces of the outside-layer, two pieces of the inside-layer and wrapped between those two parts of the inside-layer, inbetween those two you have to place the metal. I hope this makes any sense to you^^
I'm planning a wedding and am planning on using this as the corset under the dress... the only thing is i don't want to spend way to much for the underwear that connect to the garter and if I'm making the corset i would like them to match...Could you please make a tutorial for garter underwear?
@mindthinks If you know where to shop it isn't all that expensive. One of the cheaper (but still worth what you spend) stores is Fredricks of Hollywood. You're also going to be ready to just BUY something by the time you get through with the corset, and not to mention good luck finding the right lacy materials and connections for that type of underwear.
OMG, so I watched this video probably a million times this past week and I finally made my pattern and put it together on my mock fabric, i cut it out and what not and since I couldn't find my thread, I used a stapler =) and when I looked at it, it looked just like yours. Thanx so much for making this video, I'm going to make the real thing when go back to the store and chose the fabric I want =). Thanx again
unlike some people that wear corsets you look very comfortable in yours =). You actually make it seem okay to get the corset and not have to endure all of the pain of tight lacing etc. very very pretty corset and it gives you a nice shape (as I saw in your other video =) )
The corset was not done for myself so it sat pretty losely.
I have to say that tightlacing isn't the only way of altering the shape of the body, a comfortable corset that is not too tight can have a great effect on figure and body-posture without being restricting at all^^
see you make it seem really easy but im can be clumsy at times and i am hopeless when it comes to fiddleing with small parts of frabric and what not my hands cant stay still haha. gorgeous courset though hun :)
I buy it in a shop in my town and prepare it myself, so I've never really ordered anything on the internet so far. I'm sorry but I guess I can't really give you advice in this regard^^
very, very nice! you should really invest in the crop-a-dile. its an eyelet setter AND puncher - so no more hammer! it punches through a lot of stuff... even chip board and thin tin and yes, fabric. I use it a lot myself for corsets
the "what ever it is fabric" is called bias tape... it can be single or double fold; you were using double fold:*)

This is a stunninly (if thats even a word) beutiful corset! It looks fantastic!
However, I hate to sound if I'm complaining when im not, but I got a bit confused at the "sewing the three layers together part" Could you perhaps comment/PM a more acurate explanation? Like what side the roses would be facing for each layer?
I'm sorry if Iyts a bother - but it's a wonderful corset and tutorial. Thank you so much!

This corset is BEAUTIFUL! I just want to know before I start if it's the kind of corset that can suck everything in! Is it a decorative corset or can it be used in the traditional sense?
TempeBrennanBooth 1 year ago
@TempeBrennanBooth I'd say it's kind of a hybrid... it can be used to restrict the belly, but it can also be worn losely, depending on what the wearers size is.

This is awesome!! Can u do corsets with leather cos I'm doing like a kinda armour like costume and I'm making a corset for it but since it's like armour I want to do a leather one and I wasn't sure cos I've only made corsets from this weird cottony kinda fabric

@Zazaroo61 I haven't tried leather so far but from what I know it should work the same way it does with 'weird cottony kinda fabric'^^

What type of fabric do you reccomend for corset?
crisy003 1 year ago
@crisy003 I've tried satin, taffeta and some thick cotton-fabric, in general I'd say anything except for strech and transparent stuff like tulle or chiffon should be working^^
Goldkehlchen20 1 year ago
@Goldkehlchen20 with the inspiration and help from your video I made my very first corset, I made the pattern lightly different, plus mine was an overbust with a flat neckline, I used a thicker antique looking patterned cotton, I think the trick was all of the layers, mine turned out beautifully! I just wish I could have found steel boning. I only found plastic, is it possible to eventually replace it though?
crisy003 1 year ago
@crisy003 Yes I think that's possible I took one steel-peice out to repair it once and I could easily put it back in, so replacing plastic with steel should be not much of a problem^^

@Goldkehlchen20 Thank you so much! My victorian inspired Marie Antoinette masquerade costume is all coming together, thanks so much for your awesome corset video! It really helped me with my detail work!
crisy003 1 year ago
@crisy003 Wasn't Marie Antoinette more baroque?
Goldkehlchen20 1 year ago
@Goldkehlchen20 Yeah, probably, the victorian style is what inspired me, but my costume will be more similar to something that Marie Antoinette would wear. My corset has actually turned out stunningly. I used a brocade type of vintage looking cream and gold fabric. It's pretty nice!
crisy003 1 year ago
@crisy003 Crossover from different periods can have interesting results I believe.
Sounds like your corset turned out very pretty I am glad it all worked out so well for you^^
Goldkehlchen20 1 year ago
@crisy003 you might want a natural fabric for the lining, like cotton canvas. but make sure it does not stretch. And for the out side, you could use anything from muslin (for a simple one), to a brocade (for a more elaborate one). I didn't make the video but I have made a corset before.

fkgu2000 1 year ago
@fkgu2000 I'm afraid I don't remember... I made it right onto the body so I didn't really pay attention to the length of the pieces. I could ask the person I made it for to lend it to me once more so I can check but that might take a while and success depends on the circumstances^^

ok.... I'm going over the steps and looking at your demonstration...and what i was seeing is that you cut and sewed two layers of regular fabric, then cut and sewed a 3rd layer which is the pretty fabric?
which way should that be facing?
myemodeath 1 year ago
@myemodeath I don't wuite get what you're asking sorry. Are you asking which is the prettiest fabric and what impact would that have on what it should be facing?
Goldkehlchen20 1 year ago
@Goldkehlchen20 no, i was wondering how many layers there were, and if you used two types of fabric, one fabric for the inside and one fabric for the outside.

Love the corset! What are the layers? I'm trying to make a corset for myself and I know the outerlayer is the fabric you want to show off, I have brocade and the lining that touches the body is something else like a cotton but what should the middle be? What did you use? I keep getting told to use canvas interfacing but I can't find that anywhere so I was hoping you used something else hehe or had any ideas of alternatives : ) Did you have to use a Corset Busk?
SlytherinChild 1 year ago
I used some sort of thick jeans-fabric for the inner layer, you know not this stretch-stuff but the really stiff material that is almost indestructable.
And no I didn't use a corset busk I don't like ordering things online... even though they're really practical in concept^^
Goldkehlchen20 1 year ago
so good ^^,
thank you
kellynhaGontijo 1 year ago
Between which two layers did you place the boning?
bambida1st 1 year ago
One layer, the middle-layer. When you look at the corset from the side close to the seam, there will be two pieces of the outside-layer, two pieces of the inside-layer and wrapped between those two parts of the inside-layer, inbetween those two you have to place the metal. I hope this makes any sense to you^^

I'm planning a wedding and am planning on using this as the corset under the dress... the only thing is i don't want to spend way to much for the underwear that connect to the garter and if I'm making the corset i would like them to match...Could you please make a tutorial for garter underwear?

Goldkehlchen20 1 year ago
@mindthinks If you know where to shop it isn't all that expensive. One of the cheaper (but still worth what you spend) stores is Fredricks of Hollywood. You're also going to be ready to just BUY something by the time you get through with the corset, and not to mention good luck finding the right lacy materials and connections for that type of underwear.

OMG, so I watched this video probably a million times this past week and I finally made my pattern and put it together on my mock fabric, i cut it out and what not and since I couldn't find my thread, I used a stapler =) and when I looked at it, it looked just like yours. Thanx so much for making this video, I'm going to make the real thing when go back to the store and chose the fabric I want =). Thanx again

02beyondB02 1 year ago
unlike some people that wear corsets you look very comfortable in yours =). You actually make it seem okay to get the corset and not have to endure all of the pain of tight lacing etc. very very pretty corset and it gives you a nice shape (as I saw in your other video =) )
iDancenova 1 year ago
@iDancenova
The corset was not done for myself so it sat pretty losely.
I have to say that tightlacing isn't the only way of altering the shape of the body, a comfortable corset that is not too tight can have a great effect on figure and body-posture without being restricting at all^^
