[@Yeeter003-kx7wr]

This video was exactly what I needed, facts, straight to the point, with some comedy thrown in, thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@StephanieRubletz]

Thanks so much! I'm glad you found it helpful.

[@thegreennectarine]

Your corset videos are super helpful for a beginner! Thank you so much!

[@StephanieRubletz]

Thanks Taylor! I'm glad you are enjoying the series❤️

The opening disclaimer reminds me how intense the historically accurate costume crowd can be. 😂

[@mdldgsc]

Thank you so much for making this video 🤗 I really appreciated how you included so many types of boning 😊

[@paulaling1152]

You need a heat pen/wood burner, you can press ends on metal tool and round corners. You can also use the heated exacto blade to cut the boning, it is like butter.

so if i were to make myself a supportive overbust corset for my 32 g bra size body, what would i put over the cups?

[@susiegalen5120]

I also have this question…

[@StephanieRubletz]

Whether I do an overbust that has actual cups, I always build my top out of a bra pattern that uses an underwire. Then I build the top exactly as I would a bra and my boning goes up to the underwire.

this vid was so helpful and to the point! thank you!!

Thanks❤️😉

So I am working on a wide collar for my jacket that needs to stand up. The fabric is thick and heavy. It’s a medium-heavyweight faux leather. Would the sprung steel work well for this? I tried plastic boning and my collar was droopy

[@monstersmomma8594]

Thanks for the reminder to preshrink the butcher twine!!

[@StephanieRubletz]

Happy to help! Thanks for watching!

[@minionminion6480]

thank you so much for this video, my bones always break because i bend too much. i often where it for a long period of time, not sure what i do wrong

[@tsyganko]

Me, hearing you're from Canada and not US: "Oh thank god, I can actually use these store recommendations"

[@StephanieRubletz]

Oh I hear ya! I get frustrated over the same thing! Thanks for watching❤️

[@anainesrodrigues]

Thank you so much for this. I am currently trying to choose bonning for my wedding dress and this was super informative and educational. Do you recomend the steel spiral bonning for a backless wedding dress? Thank you

[@StephanieRubletz]

Oh good question! Honestly I would stick with plastic unless you plan on repurposing the dress and wearing it many more times. Otherwise the cost of steel boning for a dress that will likely be used once wouldn't be worth it to me. You can get really great structure from plastic. Congrats on your wedding!

[@plantwithpixie]

Hey thank you so much for your informative video. I hope you can help me? Im small busted and love to dance so I plan to add sprial steel my wedding dress im making! But i have no idea what width size to choose?xoxoxo

[@StephanieRubletz]

Hey! Thanks so much for watching. This is a difficult question to answer because there are different factors involved like the cut and fit of the garment and the weight of the fabric. It doesn't sound like you need a ton of support so I would start with whatever size you think will not be too big and boney looking under the fabric and go from there. For sure do a mock-up first not just to test bones but also to get the fit right. It won't matter what bones you use if the garment is too big anywhere. I hope that helps ❤️

[@Escape10mom]

Great info!

[@StephanieRubletz]

Thank you!

[@Higanbana87]

I'm making a cosplay. The lacing is in the back and the front is closed. I'm busty and so what would be good to support myself? It's not for waist synching. It would be one solid piece from just below my collar bone down to just below my waist.

[@StephanieRubletz]

Oh fun! You would be surprised how much support you'll get just by adding a few extra boning channels. But if you are really wanting a solid support, you could always put a one piece wooden busk in the front. Don't forget to drill holes and sew a ribbon through the busk and the fabric once it's installed or it will wriggle up while you wear it. Good luck!

[@jessicabey275]

thank you!

[@StephanieRubletz]

You're welcome!

[@LJ-uj3vq]

All of these have benefits. Which one would work for a size 4 prom dress inbuilt (like Nigerian) corset?

[@StephanieRubletz]

It would depend on the weight of the bust you are keeping up. You could probably stick with a lighter option for a size 4. And maybe a medium weight on the sides to keep the dress from slouching. Hard to say without really seeing it.

[@LJ-uj3vq]

@@StephanieRubletz I appreciate your response. Thank you

[@Carpathianpixie]

So the german boning is thicker than the others? I want to make corsets to support my back and my huge bust, and also cinch my my tummy a little. Do you think I can get away with the fake whale bone?

[@StephanieRubletz]

Sorry for the late reply! I think you'll be fine with the fake whalebone. Just remember that the structure also comes from the fabric choices. They are a team that works together.

[@rayflowers9097]

Have you ever done leather corsets?

[@Sandy.Squirrel]

I need to make a pretty stiff corset to use as a back brace. Should I use boning or cording? And if cording, what thickness and type of cording?

[@StephanieRubletz]

Oh good question. I'm afraid without getting my hands on one made for that purpose, it would be hard to say. You might want to do some sample squares of a foot or so to see how they feel.

[@Sandy.Squirrel]

@@StephanieRubletz ok. I'll do that. Thanks.

[@ItsDarrisha]

Boss ass intro yeeeeesssss😅

[@anessaharris9947]

[@jenniefowler4968]

I have made many corsets, but I am not happy with the fit of them

[@lavadaroufs]

Who Knew?!
