DIY Cupped Bustier Corset Top

Learn how to make your own cupped corset style top!
This style top is not a true 'corset' you will not get any waist reduction from this style, nor will you get any tight lacing effects!
I have left out the closures in the back for multiple reasons: there are multiple ways to close this garment, from hooks and eyes to a zipper to gromments. It is whatever you feel the most comfortable with putting in, as i have done many different style closures on this bodice back!
You can also attach this to a skirt instead of binding it up, it makes an excellent bodice for dresses!
If your rigeline boning is still bent and curled, I suggest pressing them with a warm iron until they straighten out. They are plastic though! So be careful you do not melt them. You can use steel or plastic for boning as well, since this is not a true corset.
The Pattern can be found here (PLEASE NOTE THE PATTERN IS ONLY SIZES 30A-40DD i am working with another pattern maker for sizes up to 52G and that will be a separate video. )
Pattern: orange-lingeri...
*i am not affliated with the pattern maker nor do i make any more by sharing her pattern**

I have been LOOKING and SEARCHING for a good comprehensive tutorial on how to make a top/bodice like this! Thank you thank you!

[@earthboundnephilim2440]

Deffinately saving this tutorial cause I'm probably going to end up making my own bras sometime in the future.

[@emmacheese6107]

You should make a dress with this top and a billowy skirt that is kinda elegant and goes down to the shin

[@kaeladelillie212]

Eternally grateful I found you on tiktok. You're literally all I watch bless u and this tutorial and the others ❤️

[@aoifeniearcain2858]

This is so helpful, thank you so much! I've been struggling a bit with this pattern, can't wait to try it again now that I've watched this!

[@minchyoda8723]

This is really helpful! I’m just curious on how you would do the back of the corset, if you lace it or just sew it together at the back?

[@katiitude6032]

in the pattern its a clip on bra, but you can easy change that to a zipper or lace

[@RoxyFauxx2402]

Best tutorial so simply explained

[@KailuaChick]

I have this pattern and I’ve made both regular and long lines bras from it. The fit is great for me personally. I’m so excited to try this, thank you for posting!

[@fioncka3448]

I'm so happy you did this tutorial and I'm really looking forward to make this but what type of closure did you used or what would you recommend?

[@officialhambly]

I actually used snaps, since it ended up being a bit larger than the mannequin! But normally I would install grommets about 1 inch apart (I usually end up with 5/6 grommets on each side!)

[@fioncka3448]

@@officialhambly Thanks for answering. I didn't know grommets could hold into mesh.

[@foxfire31]

So glad I found this!! I'm gonna be making my own wedding dress and this is the style I want the top in.

@@george2212 you aren’t supposed to share patterns that aren’t free. It takes away money from the creator which isn’t fair to them.

[@FeatherSims686]

Thank you for this tutorial! I'm making my own wedding dress and plan to do the top just like this! Do you (or anyone else!) know of any bustier patterns like this one that are cheaper or free? I don't have a mannequin, so I can't draft my own and spending $18 on a pattern is not affordable for me.

[@carolinamota2604]

Kiana Bonollo has a free pattern for a bustier, I don't know if that is what you are looking for, but I thought it might help.

[@kailaphan]

Just use a cup that fit you and cut it up for a pattern

[@sarina521]

Loved the tutorial. Do the boning channels come on the right side or left side? If it comes to the inside and covers the seam... Won't the seam and boning look through the front? And if it comes on the front, won't the seam still be showing?

[@laurelwelch6295]

Awesome tutorial! Definitely using these techniques when I eventually make my own. Keep up the great work!

[@melondearie]

Its so pretty!! Do you think it would be possible to use a zip for the back?

[@shineexpressivemusic7342]

Thank you so much 😊 Did you study design and sewing at university or is it just a hobby, because you are already skilled??

[@TheArtisanTarotTBMoon]

One of my siblings is getting married in June. The dress I was going to order was going to come with a slip and the designer makes bras and busiters which I was going to purchase. Unfortunately they are in the Ukrainian and now I am S.O.L thanks to President Putin who has now scorned me. On purchasing my dress for this wedding I now am having to restart my hunt again. I did mange to find a dress 3 hours away from my house in state that I am going to call and see if I can try on or if any wedding shops carry in my area. But no luck with the bustier I will need for the new dress. So I hope you don’t mind but I am going to use this video as a reference to make my bustier. Do you have a pattern for sale?

[@Elladarling385]

Im so excited to do this, it for a different project but i was wondering if i could add like a solid color for the first part of the corset and then add like sheer or see through fabric

[@shortyylu]

Where did you get your dress form?? I want the same kind but I can’t find one that won’t break the bank. 😭😭😭 and I don’t want a 50$ one from amazon

[@AmbiQueen96]

How did you do the backside? Lace? Grommets?

[@aaliyahcharles3997]

Can i use Tulle for the body? if i use tule can i use polyesther cotton for the boning channel?

[@victoriafunmilayo7011]

I find this tutorial to be very helpful. Thank you so much. I have a question though; the patterned paper you used to cut out the cup fabric, did you buy that or made it yourself. If you bought it, do they come in different sizes?

[@juniumma]

Hi! Love your videos! Is that a special sewing foot?

[@halfsoybean]

This is so helpful!! I'm very interested to know how you would connect a big skirt to a corset like this like some of your dresses have. How is it done? Or is most of the volume from a petticoat? Would love to know thanks!🥰

I know this was from like a year and a half ago, BUT is there ANY word on that patter for up to 52G that you mentioned? If ANYONE has any recs for extended size bustier tops/bras similar to the pattern she used, especially for size 38J or bigger (sister sizes always welcome), I would GREATLY appreciate it! I love these bustier styles and they seem like much better support for big boobs, BUT it’s practically impossible for me to find any in my size, OR any to try on to adjust said size without doing a back and forth buy and return, so I’d LOVE to just be able to make it!

[@officialhambly]

I actually do have word on that pattern! I loved it! It was a fantastic one (diamond bustier is the name) it only comes in paper so you’ll have to wait for it but it’s incredible and has the largest size range (including mix and match cup sizes) ever !!!

This is not a corset in the slightest. There is no shaping to the waist or the bust. It just holds the bosoms in place like a modern day bra. A corset is an undergarment and give shape and support to the back, bust, and hips. Call this what it is, a boned bodice or bustier. Thank you. With that being said this is a nice garment and was made well.
