I made a Victorian corset using an 1860 pattern

[@lindsayeulitt9548]

This turned out so lovely! Maybe one day I might try and make one myself. You make it look easy!

[@Ninonella]

You can do it! It's really not that complicated. Corset may seem overwhelming because there's so much going on, like busks, boning, eyelets and grommets, but in reality this is just some pieces stitched together with straight lines 😃

[@nurmihusa7780]

Amazing workmanship with so many luscious little finishing details and you explained why you did that those techniques. You are a treasure! Beautifully photographed as well!.

[@Ninonella]

Thank you very much! You always say such nice things ❤ I really think that these little details can make or break the corset, so I'm always looking at the extant garments to figure it out.

[@nurmihusa7780]

@@Ninonella I was particularly taken with the clean way you dealt with the end of the binding on the bottom. And don’t think I didn’t notice how neatly you had basted the part you folded under! Brilliant!

[@Ninonella]

@@nurmihusa7780 thank you! The fabric was too thick for the binding, so I had to manage that 😅

[@violeta7298]

It looks so amazing!! The color is gorgeous. Also thank you so much for introducing the bias tape makers, I had no idea they existed and the seem so helpful! So thank you a lot!

[@Ninonella]

You are so welcome! And yes, bias makers are amazing. I used to make my own bias tape by hand and that was pretty much exhausting 😅

Was about paying for a corset class. You just made this so easy. Other tutors will make ur brain want to spin

[@Ninonella]

You're so welcome!

[@uppereast74]

Well done. I've seen other videos you've made, and have always been impressed by your talent for exquisite craftsmanship. I was not disappointed here again. The embroidery detail brings the garment to a new level of elegance. The pale blue is sophisticated and coquettish. I must add the corset is very figure flattering.

[@crazyYTgal]

I laughed too hard at 0:45 also, I am in love with your sewing skills! I hope my corset turns out at least half as well as yours!

[@Ninonella]

Thank you! I'm sure it will, but feel free to send me a message if you need any help!

Wow it’s beautiful. Such a great video and I love the colour. I would love to be able to make items like this but I don’t have a clue where to start even learning how to sew! So I’ll just have to watch you doing it for now! I really enjoyed this video and it was great how you explained each step and showed clearly what you were doing and what each piece looked like. Thank you so much for this! I always look forward to your videos 😊

[@Ninonella]

Oh, thank you so much! If you want to try sewing, you can just search here on KZbin for something like "sewing 101" or "sewing for beginners" and start with something easy, like a pillow cover or a simple plush, and when you learn the basics, you can do anything 😊

[@syerye9748]

[@Jasmine-zb2zd]

Can you make a video on how you print the patterns from the book

[@callievucci3684]

When I made my corset I found it easier to cut holes in the boning before inserting them into the corset.

[@Ninonella]

I think so too! But I've already inserted the boning and stitched the channels shut 😬

[@jacquelinebates5650]

Beautiful.

[@Ninonella]

Thank you!

This is absolutely gorgeous! I've ben meaning to make a corset from this pattern for a while and I think I'm gonna do one in this color! What size boning are you using?

[@Ninonella]

sorry I didn't answer earlier! I used 6mm wide boning.

[@brea0773]

Dose the pattern on etsy have the 8cm increase length included, or do we have to scale it up ourselves? Thank you 😊

the waist tape is so it won't stretch

[@lucreziapalu5431]

Hello! I have a few questions and I am sorry if they sound stupid, but I am a Newby in historical corsetry and sewing in general. My first question is about seam allowance, from the video it looked like you cut it as big as the paper pattern. I wanted to know if the seam allowance was already included in the pattern or, if not, how big it should be for corsetry. My second question is about the assembling part. I thought corsets were sewn together like clothes and the seam ending were on the inside, but in your corset the seams were on the outside (the right side I think) while the inside looked "more clean" . Is it always sewn like this or it depends on the fact that the corset was unlined? If the seams ending were on the inside would they fray a lot? That's why they stay on the outside and then they get covered with the boning channels? Again I am sorry for these questions. I just really love your work and I hope one day I will be even just half as good as you.

[@Ninonella]

There's no such thing as a stupid question, and even if there was, yours wouldn't be one of them :) 1) The seam allowance wasn't included in the pattern, I added 1cm (3/8") in Photoshop before printing. But you can also trace the pattern without them - you can see that in my 1840s corset tutorial. 2) Yes, it's because the corset is unlined. But there are many different options - you can put seam allowances on the wrong side and cover them with boning channels on the inside (basically making the opposite of what I did), you can also use welt seams... You can leave the seam allowance unfinished, but it will fray and look messy, and it's just easier to hide it under boning channels. Also can I recommend an amazing source for beginners in corsetry? kzbin.info She has so many tutorials on KZbin and her website and also corset patterns in many sizes, and it's free! Listen to her and you'll be better than me in no time :) DM on Instagram if you have more questions, I don't always see the replies here. And good luck with your costuming journey!

@@Ninonella Thank you for your answer and your kindness. Have a nice a day! :D

Where can I finde good boning for a corset like this?

[@deborahmelo7993]

[@memigwaansb5585]

omg im trying so hard to cover my seams on the boning channels bc i sewed them wrong, you can see the main seam tht holds everything together between the boning channel. im trying right now with ribbon to cover those seams but my lines are CROOKED. im struggling! but i think ill just hand sew a thick edge over it to try and hide it all.

[@Ninonella]

I'm sorry to hear that! You can also try to hide it with some other decorations, like laces or trims. Or just leave it as it is, if you're going to wear something over your corset.

[@Akemi11able]

I would love to buy the pattern but "Buy me a coffee" doesn't support paypal. Can I buy it somewhere else?

Is this the tutorial? Or do I have to purchase the pattern (on Etsy) to see the tutorial?

Yes, it is the tutorial, but if you want to make this corset you need to purchase the pattern.
