Thank you so much for this. I have struggled with making my own corset backs. You make it so simple to understand. I have been watching your videos since I opened my shop. Thank you for helping me grow my clientele.

[@maggiehallinan1771]

This was awesome! Never thought of adding a corset back into the zipper area. Thanks for teaching me a new technique 💗

[@BridalSewing]

Of course! 🤗

[@rebeccaavery9067]

Amazing! I’ve been sewing for 40 years and I don’t know anything about these things. I made wedding dresses 25 years ago. It’s a miracle that all my customers were happy.

[@BridalSewing]

Hahaha ❤️ :Machine ❤️

[@kayviolet9168]

I’ve been looking around at some other videos for the same topic, but yours is the clearest, without anything being pedantic or redundant! My bestie’s sister wants me to alter her wedding dress with a corset back, but my schooling never touched on it, so this is super helpful :)

[@madeleineschwarrtz7433]

This is amazing to me...I ambdefinitely going to practice this alteration....I have lost a few jobs in my day because I have never seen it done!!!! Can't wait to.see the next video removing the zipper and adding the panels!!!! Thank you sew much!! Your knowledge and teaching techniques are so valuable!!!

[@MWieandSeamstresswithStyle]

Thanks for this definitely looks easier and working without pins even better. The extra reinforcement and ribbing is great. Thanks for this another new technique. Thanks

[@nancylong8865]

😊 As always, excellent tutorial. I sure appreciate your in sight; helping me to put out better work.

[@ritaloera5081]

Your loop technique is brilliant! Love your work and your very realistic discussion of what alteration can and can't do.

[@mrsmacedon1]

I have been a sewest since my girls were 7 & 8 years old. I took it a bit farther by offering to creat custom (mostly sewing patterns) garments for them. I am now trying to get into the alteration and garment construction business. I really want to quit my job and do this full time, but currently finances wont allow me to do this. I have to work to pay for the equipment I need to get totally up and running. I have been following you for the past 3 years and I find your content very helpful. I look forward to growing with BST as I increase my sewing skill.

[@BridalSewing]

That's so great to hear!! You are closer than you think! Most often-it is pricing that holds new pro sewists back. Typically, new sewists need to break out of theirr social circle and work for the public for 3x the price. I'm happy to help. ❤️

[@danad9166]

I’m in my 3rd year of business. Thank you for alllllll of the help you provide. My opinion would be quit that job asap & you’ll never look back. Competent seamstresses are rare. People are thrilled to find us & happy to pay for our services.

[@jeriandguybowman5493]

Thank you! You always show content that I am in need of!

[@nandiafytraki206]

This is an amazing tutorial! I did something similar for a dress I was making as I coudln't find a corset kit to match the colour of the dress but I did it the hard way... this is so much easier! Thank you for sharing. I would be interested to see how you replace the zipper with the corset kit, if you feel like showing that. And also, how you would make the laces to tie the back, again, if you feel like sharing! But anyway thank you for this!

[@tarchambo]

Thanks!

[@elizavetastepanishina8194]

This is fantastic!!! Do you have the video about putting it in?

[@katietomasello490]

This is a great video… as usual. I make my corset kits too. Like you mentioned the colors don’t match & after reading review ls on some the quality is not so good. And dear sewers if you have trouble matching fabric to make l these hit the drapery fabrics or the curtain & drapery dept. I had a beautiful lace gown … w/ the lightest blush color under it. After many trips trying to find the fabric & nothing in my stash worked. I found a ❤beautiful sheer fabric in the drapery fabrics. The shade of fabric is perfect, but to sheer, so I cut out a couple little squares… laid one on top of the other till 4 was the perfect color? I bought enough to make the lace with the finished width about 3 in. Not too bulky to lace up but just wide enough to tie into a soft bow which my bride loved. Again, great job Brenda… this will be helpful to many sewers out there❤

[@sallycole8880]

You are incredible. I love this.

[@janicevisger497]

Thank you so very much for sharing this technique! You are Amazing!!♡

[@DeborahNelson-x1u]

I am using a premade kit but your techniques for inserting it is great! Thank you so much

[@betsybrittingham930]

Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful tip with us. It’s been a while that I’ve made corset kits, but it was very nice to see your take on it. Very impressive! And I love your videos.💖

[@BridalSewing]

Thank you for watching, dear. 🥰

[@nataliechim5227]

Such a great technique. Thanks for the video.

[@michellecothrun1048]

Awesome video as always! Such an ingenious solution! The corset kits don't always match and some look rather thick and bulky.

[@Juliana-xu2lm]

foi o melhor vídeo que vi até agora , gostei 👍ganhou mais um inscrito , vc ensina muito bem ..

[@yukieann555]

Although its was long talk but for real its really help, thankyou so much

[@katewooden9937]

[@OhhNo2.0]

[@Slayrate]

God knows I needed this today 😅

[@emmapatrick5250]

I have followed you vido on how to get a corcet back maid, i really need the nixt vido to get it in the dress, fast . Emma Rust from Oregon

[@jenny91527]

Thank you!!… this is very helpful ❤

[@LoriYount]

If you stabilize the ribbon with an adhesive water soluble stabilizer (sulky makes a nice one) that would help with the bunching of the ribbon and it just dissolves in water 😊

[@BridalSewing]

So true. I just get in a rush & want to stay at my machine. 😂😂

[@kelsiscogland]

PLEASE MAKE THR VIDEO OF HOW TO ADD IT! IM ALTERING MY BFFS WEDDING DRESS TK A COREST SND I NEED HELP TO ADD THIS! This code was very helpful and easy to follow allong

[@BridalSewing]

It'll be a while til I can. Just take the zipper out and sew the corset pieces in. It's pretty obvious how to do it once you take the zipper out. You got this!

[@rosejacks8662]

Thank you, very helpful!

[@alinemariagomes3232]

This is awesome

[@carliewilson2398]

Can you show us how to make a downsize a zipper back dress to a corset back? I have seen so many videos on how to upsize a dress with a corset back, but I can’t find any on how to downsize with a corset back!

[@BridalSewing]

To not interrupt the design, I don't size down with a corset. I size down by taking in at the side seams the tradtional way, then convert zipper to corset. That's probably why you aren't having luck finding the video.

[@terrimartin3034]

Laceeis corset kits are handy for prom.

[@BridalSewing]

So handy!

[@velvetstitching3631]

They are handy, but I find them cheaply made for the price - the loops are too wide for the ribbon laces. Personally I like the ribbon laces to be tight in the loops ➿.) 😊

[@Mlleev]

Do I need to provide all of these materials if I’m hiring a seamstress to do this zipper to corset alteration?

[@BridalSewing]

It depends on the seamstress

[@naomifatasews]

I’m so excited to see you have a video on this! I have a bride right now who has this problem. I have done the corset back before but this video is so good to bring it fresh in my memory!

Do you have the current discord link?? I don't have access to Instagram 😭

[@klynndubois6200]

I’m just confused about the fabric behind the laces. Maybe it’s in a supplemental video but none of the other KZbin videos on this subject showed it either.

[@BridalSewing]

Oh, I'm glad you asked. It's probably not shown because it is so simple. It's called a modesty panel. It's literally a lined, triangle of fabric that has boning going across it on the inside. It's sewn down the left side and snaps in on the top right.

[@erinborgmann1259]

You ever have one of those duh moments? Like literally go DUH and hit your forehead.. yeah no? Ok me either........ Yeah I had that moment.
