I love that you include the things that didn't work out well. It's so reassuring to see that in action from more experienced sewists because there are times when I just set the project aside because of one little thing and I never pick it up again because the negative self-talk kicks into high gear. Your corset is beautiful and the right embellishments will find you soon, I'm sure of it :) ♥

I don't mention it much, but I went to fashion school as an adult. Encroaching mental illness makes it so that I never make anything now, but I _love_ watching Morgan. It's like being back in a fashion school class with your favorite teacher. She sprinkles a constant stream of sewing genius advice in everything she does. She's a natural teacher. You can't watch her without becoming better. I had a few great teachers in fashion school, but sadly, many teachers couldn't hold a candle to Morgan. You're quite lucky to have her on here.

On laying corset pattern pieces on the fabric, we were taught in sewing school that yes most times it’s better to go just straight grain, but there are instances where in corsets you can play with the grain a little to make the corset fit better, especially if you need very curvy pieces or some funky cuts. The only caviat is that you need to deffinitely know what you’re doing to do ot succesfully.

A bit belated, but at 3:30, the phrase "future dark corset" has me wishing that it was foreshadowing for some upcoming project where we get full-on Goth/Punk Morgan, like with the shenani-bondage-pants. Also, that's an amazingly nice seam ripper and I'd love to know where to get one of similar fanciness (or even just, you know, nicer than the regular tiny plastic handled stuff).

I've taken to using plastic embroidery fabric to trace from, if I don't want to destroy an original. It's stiff, and see-through, so it's quite easy to tack an original to it and trace. Just as a reminder, if you're redrafting a curved seam, a flexicurve ruler is a lifesaver. A cording foot is a very good tool to get the spacing professional. As you say, the coutil base remains flat, so can be cut from the pattern, the top fabric takes the trace. Likewise, a rolled hem foot applying binding avoids the stitch-in. Also, for beginners, use a set of compasses to parallel line, when tracing the grommet fold-backs. The pin side simply follows the line, and the pencil drafts the new parallel. Grommeting several hundred years ago used a buttonhole stitch, which helps the awl hole hold, and in leatherwork we sometimes use the rear washer on both sides of the hole, so the rear of the eyelet part bears on the washer rather than the fabric.

The corset turned out beautifully! Love the cording, flossing and color.

… I like it so much better without the lace! It is so elegant, and the beautiful fabric and form speaks for itself! It swoops beautifully around your bust, and also the flossing in its simplicity makes it great! Would advocate for keeping as-is. Thank you for the video!

Morgan, I wonder if looking up how people do quilt binding would help get the corset binding "neater"? it looks fine to me, but that's another sewing area where there are many different binding hacks/techniques!!

Funny difference between construction/tailoring of garments in different countries: I'm professional garment construction and in my university we were told that grain of fabric should be aligned parallel to the direction of the most tension on detail. So for the most types of clothes grain would be vertical on finished garment but corsets always were an exception because unlike in other clothes they have most tension not from gravity but from the lacing, so the most distinctive tension is horizontal one, but not vertical. That's why in mu countrie we always put horizontal lines on grain direction for the purpose of extra support of waistline and it really helps to make it even more stretch resistant. (Hope that it's understandable translation of what I tried to say)

The way the bones jump out of my underwire bras, I've been wishing there was a little more fabric so I could floss the ends to help keep them from wearing out.

I love watching your projects & that black dress with the parade of buttons too! Edit: If it were me, I would look for your corset pattern with the butt project pattern... just a thought.

Hi, Morgan! The black dress you wear in the very first segment of this video is sooo cute. I hope, some day you will make a video, how you did it. The puffy sleeves are just gorgeous 😍

I think it looks great without the lace. After all it did cover all of your cording work. Makes me want to tackle a corset for myself.

hot tip: painters tape or masking tape is really awesome for picking up them pesky lil threads from seam ripping. when your done you just throw out the piece of tape.

Thankyou, watching this answered a couple of questions I had about why my corset wasn't quite working how I wanted it to. My bones are a bit too long, and your fabric stretched much less than mine (I used a heavy canvas, but it still had a surprising amount of stretch)

Oh my gosh! Ripper tip, when you are ripping long seams with the seam ripper, the ball part goes inside, not outside, of the seam. That way you don’t spear anything and accidentally rip it.
