This is good …first time seeing how i draft my pattern …I’m your new favorite

[@PreciousNnamani-te8wj]

Yunno what I love about your videos? They are very detailed and not complicated even though you use the Natalie bray bodice. How do you deal with clients that have big tummy? What style can one see for them other than peplum ? How do you deal with their waist measurement, do you take their waist measurement above their tummy or on their tummy?

Thanks for this wonderful explanation. What's the maximum inches one can take out of the waist for cinching please especially in a plus size to have a very noticeable effect?

[@mercyadamsinseams]

You’re welcome. I’d say between 3 to 5” for open back corsets and less for closed back corset. Also it’s a design preference

Thank you for sharing this detailed and interesting tutorial. Please I want to know why you shaped out the sides of both bodice pattern at the end and what measurements did you use?

[@amobivivian3767]

Hello! Wish I could love 10 times. Question- is there a calculation for the overbust tightening per bust size? And also for much bigger bust sizes how do prevent spillage?

[@mercyadamsinseams]

Hi! For much bigger busts you can increase the over bust tightening to about about 2cm on Both sides of the dart but never more to a very pointy bust curve.

Good day ma'am please could you show us the sewing details of this corset from the cutting of the pattern on fabric to the sewing. Thank you so much for being a great teacher

[@HouseofCheche]

Discovered you on IG, I've been stucked to your page since then. Thnk you for detailed tutorials. please i have a question, do you not need the underbust circumference in this pattern? I noticed you didn't say anything about UB circumference

[@mercyadamsinseams]

Thank you! I usually don’t do underbust circumference. I shape the underbust based on the size of the bust. Starting at 1cm going up to 2.5cm based on the bust size. So 1cm-1.5cm on both sides of the dart( for smaller busts) and 2-2.5cm for bigger bust sizes. This is what works for me. I hope this helps

You can do it! Kept trying and practicing ❤️

[@bernicenaah1311]

Good job 🥰 please do I need to add allowance to the cups

[@mercyadamsinseams]

Yes you do.. the only allowance is on the side seam.

[@maryamkudowo2932]

Hi mercy thanks for this tutorial. Pls I want some clarification. The seam allowance, that is, the 1inch you took out, was it originally added by you or if you follow procedure by the book the final draft is already inclusive of that one inch sideseam allowance.

[@maryamkudowo2932]

Because for me the total bust I got for bust 100cm in the pattern book that i drafted and I followed strictly gave me a total of 110cm without removing anything yet and I didn’t add any seam allowance. Si I want to be sure whether after drafting the bodice following the draft rules, then that one inch side Seamus automatically added. Thanks in advance.

[@mercyadamsinseams]

Hi! Mine had a total of 10cm on the bust, about 13 on the waist and I think about 8 or more cm on the hip. Pls watch this video for more context. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHjdnHWkfZiZprs( So the excess does varies according to the measurements used)But there should be at least some excess around the bust and hips .

[@maryamkudowo2932]

Thank you very much @mercy. God bless you. I now understand better

[@NikkaDaza]

Thank you! ❤

[@mercyadamsinseams]

[@mariangoya3133]

Thank you so much for this detailed tutorial I have one question, you reduced the waist by 8cm so was the waist shaped before the 8cm reduction so that it can have the waist snatched look? Thank you ma'am

[@mercyadamsinseams]

The waistline wasn’t shape prior. It only had seam allowance.

[@adesuwaodoemela2444]

Thanks for the tutorial, please can this format work for burst 40, thanks

[@tehilahandfriends3965]

Waooh. This is nice. Thanks . But how do u use it to cut different sizes pls

[@mercyadamsinseams]

Apply the basic rules 1. Minus 2cm from the under bust length for rounder cups 1.take 3.5- 5cm(based on how large the bust is. 3.5 -4cm for larger bust and 5cm for smaller bust sizes) from the side of the along the true bust line 3. Make sure to use the curviest part of your French curve for rounded cups. Note. The under bust Length was my own measurement.

[@dodeyeayomobi1681]

Hello ma, thank you for this master piece, I want to ask, if the waist snatching is done after getting your true waist.

[@houseoftevet]

Hi, thank you for this tutorial, super useful especially with the waist cinching effect. Please i'd like to know why inches used for the upper bust contour was not replaced. Would it in any way make the upper bust tight?

[@mercyadamsinseams]

You’re welcome! In this case I didn’t have to replace it, mostly because this was drafted with an open back . However for a closed back corset, the over bust should be measured and considered when shaping (meaning you only shape according to that measurement, either taking less or more based on it. I hope this helps.

Thank you for your tutorial.it’s been helpful. But I noticed my corset front hip always larger with so much allowances After sewing .please how can I fix this?

Should I shape my hip area too ?

You’re welcome ! Yes, you can also shape the hip area. But first measure around the upper hip( area where the length of the corset ends) as tightly as you want it to fit ad just reshape by the difference. Let me know if this helps.

You know you used up all the syncing inches for the front, while you left 0.5 for the side seam. My question is, hope the front bodice won't be shorter than the back after using another 0.5 for the side shaping

It doesn’t affect in any way..front bodice is usually wider than the back. Also , the end goal is for a synced waistline.
