The 1890s (later years) is one of my favorite fashion eras. This corset is a combination of 1890s and more modern elements. 
In this video, I’ll be making my first ever corset! It was a lot of fun. There were quite a bit of learning opportunities, accompanied with some creative problem solving 😊 
I experimented with cording detail and installing gores. This particular corset design is from the early 1890s. The dramatic silhouette was, of course something I was looking for in a corset. Another thing that great about the pattern in that it comes up higher in the back so there’s no ‘spillage’  😆 
There’s definitely another corset in the works, that’ll take on more of a traditional appearance.
