Making a Corset Free PDF Pattern from Aranea Black | Beginning Live-Action Aurora! 🤗

[@lynn858]

Thank you for introducing me to AraneaBlack. The grading instructions and circumstance lines are going to be a huge help in getting a corset pattern I have a hope at sizing properly. *fingers crossed*

[@estelledesigns]

Her website is great and I'm so grateful that she is willing to provide so many patterns for free! Good luck with your corset!

[@lovescooby1989]

To bad Aranea black website is gone😭😭😭😭

[@jerusalemadeniyi6952]

Please do you still have the PDF she has closed the site

[@lynn858]

I made the mistake of assuming it would always be there, and didn't download, because I hadn't decided what to make yet. Lesson learned. Digital patterns don't take up much space.

[@jerusalemadeniyi6952]

I got it already

[@ummkulthoombello4196]

this is the most helpful corset video i’ve found on here

[@estelledesigns]

Glad you found it helpful!

[@MinalSophie]

SO glad I found your video! I've not made a corset before and the other tutorials were frying my brain, your method looks a lot more achievable, thank you

[@estelledesigns]

I'm glad you found it helpful!

[@HistoricalBelle]

I cannot wait to follow along as you make this Live action Aurora wedding dress! I love wedding dresses and I love Disney Princess Dresses! It's going to be AMAZING! Also, watching your videos inspires me to try making Disney Princess Dresses.

[@estelledesigns]

Omg yes, I would love to see you do a Disney Princess! You would do an amazing job!

[@majalaudann9049]

Everything about this video was amazing, I will start sewing right away 🙌 Thank you so much for making everything so clear ❤

[@Luisa-pf9ss]

Wow, great craftsman ship. it looks absolutely stunning!

[@selkiemorien9006]

That looks pretty neat, for what ever reason I really love the texture of the fabric :D Looking forward to all the videos to come in this series.

[@estelledesigns]

Thank you Selkie! The texture of the fabric is pretty boring if I'm being honest haha! Next time I make a corset, I want to do it a pretty brocade or something!

[@selkiemorien9006]

@@estelledesignsTrue, it is very simple, but I've found I appreciate the suptle textures a lot and you can see more of the stitches - maybe it looks more interesting on video... Brocades are so beautiful, they give off a very different feel :D

[@AveryTalksAboutStuff]

Great job! Corsets are something I have not yet become brave enough to attempt making myself.

[@blueeyedscorpio7]

Same! Haha 😉

[@estelledesigns]

Corsets are not that difficult as long as you take it step by step! I'm still not brave enough to attempt a split busk corset with real boning haha!

I attempted it and it was awful! Loved it 🥰

[@bettyamelin3360]

This dress is going to be totally gorgeous Dress! Love watching your videos! Loved this version of sleeping beauty best......

[@estelledesigns]

Thanks Meghan! I love all the dresses Aurora wears from the live-action version!

[@cheerful_something_something]

Cool. I'm currently using an areana pattern (Erin, I think) but by currently I mean everythign is cut out and staring at me, as it has been for about a month.... Good job on the corset, I look forward to reading the self drafting guide which I have now bookmarked.

[@estelledesigns]

Aranea Black has so many corset patterns to choose from! I hope everything goes well for you!

[@KaloCheyna]

Bunnings is a great place to get eyelets from! You can get a pack of 50 5mm grommets for $2.

[@estelledesigns]

Seriously?! I had no idea they sold sewing/craft supplies?!!!

[@KaloCheyna]

They're sold there because grommets are used in strapping, tarps and a variety of other things. There's also a really good set of grommet setters (also get a rubber mallet) for $20 that are definitely not going to deform.

[@estelledesigns]

@@KaloCheyna I will have to check it out next time I'm there!

[@JemimaDoesASMR]

I don't know how I didn't notice, but I literally jolterd in shock when I heard the word "Spotlight" and it was only then that I realised you're a fellow Aussie haha. I'm just so used to everyone being American or British that I straight up didn't notice the accent :')

[@estelledesigns]

Haha that's so funny! Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed the video :)

[@emn8ng]

You keep saying you're lazy...while sewing a wedding dress from scratch! Lazy people just don't do that

[@estelledesigns]

Haha... I'm selectively lazy! There are some parts of the costume that I want to take the long, slow time-consuming perfectionist approach, and other things I couldn't care less about! If it gets me to what I want to achieve then that's all that matters haha!

[@bodiehayden3803]

i know Im kinda randomly asking but do anybody know of a good place to stream newly released series online ?

[@quintonalexander9723]

@Bodie Hayden i would suggest flixzone. You can find it on google :)

@Quinton Alexander Thanks, signed up and it seems to work :D I really appreciate it!!

[@TheKitteth]

Ive been putting it off for yrs, but Ive been wanting to wear corded/comfy corsets instead of bras (Im an Ecup & the straps DIG) & this... this gives me confidence to make it simply. This way it can also be reversible... the real question, is if I floss the bunnings boning, would it be machine washable? 🤔

[@estelledesigns]

That sound like a fantastic idea! I think it would be better to handwash it still. Who knows what the washing machine could do to the boning

[@mariaflorenciaalvarez1926]

Omg it looks sooooo pretty 😍 but i'm still a begginer 😅 maybe in the future, now i wanna try to do my first skirt

[@estelledesigns]

Yes you can do it!,

[@shanteldiggs5143]

Hey, this was nice to watch. I’m going to sew my stitches around the seams just like you did. I printed out the ‘Sylvia’ corset & I had a bit of trouble figuring out the right cup measurements for my size. I chose bust B0: size E (80cm). I’m 85cm but the directions instructed me to subtract 5cm. I’m rather scared to cut the patterns because it said to subtract my under bust measurements from my bust, mine would be 77-85cm. B0 was 7cm while B1 was 9.5. I seriously hope I do not mess this up 😩 I also don’t have waist tape. Is that a big deal? I’m just starting out sewing so I have limited materials

[@lifestylecurves685]

Lovely video!

[@luvingstuff]

I know you've said in a previous comment that you don't make split-front busk corsets and this one is no different, but to adapt a pattern like this one do you add any extra allowance at the front where the busk should go before sewing it closed, or do you leave the pattern as-is and have a larger gap in the back? Thank you, this is GORGEOUS.

[@estelledesigns]

Thanks! I literally just align the centre front along the fold of my fabric and that's it! Nothing special!

[@Ahatube026]

[@SewwithBlessie]

The backlace holes on Aranea’s pattern look closer to each other, while yours looks spacious. Did you make changes? If so, about how much spacing did you make?

[@estelledesigns]

I made them a bit more spaced out so I wouldn't have to do as much work! The tighter you space them, the more lacing you will need to use but it also means you can get the corset to fit very tightly. I usually space mine around 1-1.5 inches apart. Hope this helps!

[@SewwithBlessie]

@@estelledesigns thank you so much!!! I am currently making Aranea’s Nora corset 🥰

[@linneaanderson5941]

This is so lovely ! I just printed this pattern very excited to make it. did you change the placement of the boning channels on the front of the corset from the one in the pattern photos ? your appear to bend making a 'v' shape around the bust which i really like the look of

[@estelledesigns]

Yes, I did change placement of the boning slightly at the bust. I tapered them so they form a v shape around the bust rather than straight up and down

[@estelledesigns]

[@rodentary]

Estelle as a fellow lazy person i appreciate how real u are being lol

[@zzz.1777]

does it need to be 2-layered? is it then better at making the waist smaller or the oppsoite? I'd appreciate if you took the time to explain :)

[@estelledesigns]

Hi! I prefer having 2 layers as it provides more structure than just one layer of fabric. I've tried one layer before and it is definitely more flimsy. Also with 1 layer of fabric, you need to sew boning channels using another method (i.e. cotton tape or ribbon strips). In my opinion, it is less effort doing a 2 layer corset because you can sandwich the boning in between the 2 layers. Hope this helps!

[@zzz.1777]

thank you !@@estelledesigns

[@Moodas4]

This is so beautiful! Did you use a busk at the front or did you sew it shut? I can't tell and am wanting to re-create a corset myself! Is there a pro or minus to using a busk?

[@estelledesigns]

Thank you Ally! I've actually never sewn a corset before with a split front busk... that's what I'd love to try for my next corset haha! The disadvantages to having no split busk is that you need a lot more lacing in the back in order to get it over your head and shoulders. It's also difficult to get the corset over you head without ruining any hair or makeup you did, so that's a downside too. The upsides is that you will have a smoother front that is undetectable under dresses, and that it's cheaper to make because you don't need to buy any special corset supplies (you could just use cable ties like I did!) Hope this helps :)

[@jeaneenbrunck7345]

What kind of boning do you use? I am making an internal dress corset, and I am thinking that steel might be an overkill.

[@estelledesigns]

I just use cable ties (or zip ties) from the hardware store! the ones I buy are 7.6mm wide

[@adaramadison3929]

Hi I’m using an aranea black pattern to make a corset as well but I wanted to ask how you made the opposite side of the corset???? The pattern only covers half the body (the left side of my body). I’m working on my mock-up now

Hello! You have to flip the pattern and use the flipped version to cut out the other side.

[@RealAngelOfMusic]

I really want to make the corset too. I have downloaded the pattern, measured everything, but then, after I finished the mockup, it was wayyyyyy too big. Did this happen to anyone else? And because of the sharp edges from the cable ties, I usually melt it a bit with a candle, so it won't be sharp. And another question (I'm annoying, sorry), how many cm/inch can you cinch your waist with this?

[@estelledesigns]

Perhaps you accidentally included more seam allowance than necessary? That's a good idea with the cable ties! As for your question, I can usually get my waist down to a 25 inch with this corset.

[@barbaragriffith1609]

Did you adjust the length of the pattern before cutting the fabric?

[@estelledesigns]

Nope, made no changes to the length and it fit perfect :)

[@mariadelcarmejaumeesquinas165]

A question how many centimeters or inches do you use of cord to tie the corset?

[@estelledesigns]

A lot haha! I order around 7 metres of lacing at the minimum to make sure there is enough to loosen up and go over my head and shoulders.

[@danielalinares925]

How many millimeters are your eyelets?

[@estelledesigns]

I'm not 100% sure but I would say 5mm wide. They are very small eyelets

Not hating, but I hope you do something about the "laziness" that you always mention here. Coz you could have made a next level quality if you are not lazy. The corset is great, didn't say that it's ugly or something but it's just a shame that you did not go all out because of the laziness.

[@estelledesigns]

I won't deny that I am pretty lazy when it comes to certain projects, especially if they are hidden under other garments. While I admire those who do go "all out" on making beautiful corsets with satin, lace, trims and the like, my priorities for undergarments generally is more focused on durability and functionality!
