DIY CORSET TUTORIAL + PATTERNS AVAILABLE // How to Sew Your Own Sheer Corset (Detailed Explanation)

[@KianaBonollo]

*Sometimes I explain things in a different order than I actually sewed things. This is because I try to make sure the progression of my directions is presented in a way that can be easily followed. *Also stay tuned for next week for a super beginner pleated skirt tutorial! There will be no pattern needed. The look will be Euphoria inspired.

[@lolly5957]

Do I need a mannequin to make a croset?

[@milo_official_yt]

@@lolly5957 no, you can drape it on yourself in a mirror , or do a flat pattern drafting method. btw the more accurate term would be dress form, a mannequin typically refers to the plastic/ fiberglass forms specifically for clothing display

[@iSugarHeart]

For a corset. Not at all . Just a pattern is enough =)))) make sure pattern matches your waist in and you're good result will be great ♥

[@Moocluckcow]

Just a thought: for non-sew-ers, it'd be interesting if you included a total time of work put into the project . As someone who has taken up sewing recently, I'd find it interesting to know how much time (roughly) it took to create each project. I think it says a lot about the craft, and how intricate and detail it really is. (I mean, I have sewn from patterns, and even that can take forever!) You mentioned in (I think the cowl neckline one) video that it took you 30 hours to make the pattern. Idk, I just think it'd be intriguing to mention how much time you spend on each particular project/work. Obviously, it would take each one of us a different amount of time to complete the same project, but I still think it would be motivating.

[@Rellylee]

I feel like it really just depends on how much to you have to offer . If you have 24 hours and you want to dedicate those 24 hours to making something then it’ll take 24 hours or less or more depending on the time you have to offer and if you have to redo it

[@angelagrico7773]

it takes too long, what I mean is it takes forever

[@MissTsoisauce]

I love this belt kind of corset more than normal corsets. Also your wall decor is beautiful, so simple yet elegant

[@KianaBonollo]

Thank you! And thanks my dining room with that mural is my favorite place in my apartment 😁

I have a ton of denim to get Rid of and I feel like this will be super cute way to use it! Thank you for sharing! 😊😊😊

[@JillianCristina]

Elegra Margiela oooo I might have to do that as well! I saw some awesome tie-dye denim fabric at the store the other day and I think it would look awesome for this.

@ThatsSewElegra - Sounds great. How did it turn out?

[@CaptainLollyPoopDeck]

Probably the best sewing tutorial I've ever seen. You're so good at explaining everything and angling the camera so your hands aren't in the way. So talented!!!

[@KianaBonollo]

Aw thank you!! Glad you liked it :))

[@EmmaCraine]

This one and your other corset vid have really helped me to understand how to use my dress form to drape/pattern more fitted garments. I dropped out of the fashion dept in school to study other design disciplines, and I never got to the draping classes lol

[@KianaBonollo]

Glad it was helpful! Draping was truly a game changer for me. So much easier than flat patterning everything! (although flat patterning is still super useful)

[@itsameliatho]

girl when I say my jaw DROPPED at this look omg wow

[@KianaBonollo]

Aww thank you 😭😭

[@caraid9263]

I LOVE that you showed how you patterned this on the bust form, very illuminating for someone who has no idea how that's done!!

[@natalie5976]

I bought the pattern and finished this today, so in love with the results!! Great tutorial too, it was very easy to follow along with

[@jevousamie2]

This is my first pattern and maybe I just don’t get it. But do I add seam allowance to the cut paper pattern pieces. I wish there was a see along with the digital pattern.

[@devyanigupta4883]

@@jevousamie2 I am making this and I have the same doubt. Did u manage to do this? Do I only give seam allowance on the vertical sides or on all sides??

[@54321Adela]

I was wondering how your things look so perfect, you went to fashion school, now it makes sense! Love the construction

[@victoriaisopp3037]

[@melissaevans9355]

This seems so much easier than drafting using a female basic block. Thank you for your sewing wisdom. My projects look much more professional when I know the sewing basics lol

[@KianaBonollo]

Glad it was helpful! And I try to drape whenever I can, drafting from a block or from scratch only as a last resort. Happy sewing!

[@glowuproutine445]

Please how do you draft with a female basic block

[@r0xanne_d0ll]

OMG YOURE A LIFE SAVER 💕😫 I tried making a see through corset (by logic) but it took forever to master and it ended up wonky. This was so helpful.

[@KianaBonollo]

Yay!! Glad I could help💕

[@RyanReta97]

The sheer looks so cool, it would look so cool even over patterned garments ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@splitclay]

This is an amazingly beautiful corset and it's so amazing that it looks super clean with all of the stitching on both sides. Your keen attention to detail made this such a satisfying and beautiful video to watch. You are so skilled, and I can't wait to have a go at trying this myself! Hope you have a great day 😊

[@theophaniamadrason3838]

A "waist cincher" would be the proper term.😊 I've always wanted to make one, and this pattern seems easy to follow. The base fabric looked really pretty!

[@macarenag.concha3365]

Hi!! I just discovered your channel a week ago and I'm really thankful for that since I was really sick and sad because I couldn't do anything about it. Your videos are so easy to follow and entertaining that it gave me the inspiration to get better so I could sew now that I'm healthy! Thank you so much for being awesome! Ps: Do you have any tips for stopping organza to fray? Every time I work with it it's just a mess and I have to be extra careful when I sew it so the edges don't get destroyed 😂

[@KianaBonollo]

I am glad you're healthy now and that my videos are helpful! If I am working with organza in a normal garment, I will always use french seams so the raw edges will not be exposed even on the inside. I think when it comes to organza, it likes to be left alone. Try not to play with it too much or redo seams.

[@macarenag.concha3365]

@@KianaBonollo Oooh french seams its a good idea! Since I have an overlock I hardly do those anymore, thanks! Organza it's so pretty but I usually avoid it because it falls apart so easily but I think it's time to face my fears!

[@zoelo8513]

Hey Kiana! I bought your pattern on etsay and I just wanted to thank you so so much for this. The pattern is perfect, your explanation is fantastic, slow and thorough and you helped my corset to turn out beautifully! I'm such a messy sewer usually and I was super worried if I could get a decent looking result but I was amazed at how easy you made it to follow. Thank you so much. I will be buying a lot more patterns! You produce really great content... oh man, I cant stop gushing haha

[@julieespitia69]

I've been watching your videos since yesterday and I've learned so much! I'm a total beginner and I've found sewing relaxes me and works wonders for my anxiety, so I'm really excited about having found you because the way you explain has made understand so many things I didn't before! Also, on another video you mentioned something about doing a mini sewing machine challenge and I'd love that since I got myself one to get started with sewing. Keep up the fabulous content! 🖤

Thank you so much :)) I am so glad that I could help you out :) Good luck with sewing!

[@KianaBonollo]

Thank you! Will do!

[@MossyMozart]

I was thinking that it might be nice to make the waist cincher out of TWO sheer layers, but for the outer "right" side, make the pieces longer and ruche each side - there will be slight color variations where the fabric has those soft folds and an added bit of texture. OR - Make the outer layer from lace with a sheer backing layer of a contrasting color. OR - Use two sheer layers but out of different colors for added visual depth. This seems like such a versatile pattern!

[@rebekahash3374]

I was wondering if you could make a video showing how to make this with opaque fabrics, you mentioned there are separate steps and i just cant get the steps to make sense in my head. Thanks so much!

[@pricklyplant]

I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this yet, but I think this might called a Swiss Waist.... Or at least a slightly rounded variation of a one.... "A Swiss waist is a boned, pointed underbust garment worn over skirts and blouses or dresses. Unlike a corset, a swiss waist NEVER fastens with a metal front busk. Swiss waists can have a flat front, with no front opening, or can lace up the front with [eyelets]."

[@TanjaKuller]

Thanks for the amazing tutorial! Could you explain to me why it is important to sew the casings all from the same direction?

[@KianaBonollo]

So the tension from the presser foot of your machine can end up pushing the top layers of fabric a bit out of place while the feed dogs can pull the bottom layer a bit out of place. So if you go in the same direction, everything will be pushed/pulled the same way.

[@alessia.escorcio]
