SUMMARY:A Perfect Shape: Victorian Corset Workshop (2-day)
DESCRIPTION:This is a two-day class\, Saturday July 11 and Saturday July 18\, 10 AM – 5 PM. \nTime to shape up! \nThe corset gets a bad rap\, but it was the accepted support garment for centuries… and our foremothers weren’t stupid! Together\, we will create mid-bust corsets suitable for nearly all of the Victorian era\, and for modern bridal/formal/costume use as well. We will cover measurements\, sizing\, alterations\, construction\, and how to build some adjustability into our corsets to deal with life’s little fluctuations. \nPREREQUISITE: Intermediate to advanced sewing skills. You must have basic sewing skills\, have made a garment from a pattern in the past\, be able to follow pattern instructions\, and have a portable sewing machine. This class requires materials\, supplies\, and preparation well in advance!  \nSUPPLIES NEEDED: \nTHE PATTERN: \n\nTruly Victorian 110: 1880 Late Victorian Corset Corset.\n\nIf using a PDF pattern\, please have the pattern printed and/or taped together before the first class. \nFOR UNDER YOUR CORSET: \n\nYou’ll need a chemise or other garment to be worn under the corset.
