I'm a bit late, I've only just found it.<br /><br />This period 1910 was considered liberating because the wasp waist had gone out of vogue a few years before. As noted, this in this period they were long and often heavily boned - slouching or anything approaching it was not for the real lady!<br /><br />Somewhere in a vintage newspaper article on the web for around this time advising on the proper corset for day, evening and horseriding. It added that mothers could now take their (13 year old?) daughters to the corsetiere without the fear that they would be tightlaced. I've tired to find it again, but I haven't so far.<br /><br />BettyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12916744458001771039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8071082523501639380.post-160475230189684642013-04-25T13:27:42.436-07:002013-04-25T13:27:42.436-07:00Thanks!

I don't take sewing commissions though, as I barely have enough time to sew for my household :) There are a number of fabulous corsetieres out there, though many focus more on Victorian or Modern corsetry rather than Edwardian. If you're up for making your own, Truly Victorian has a great 1903 corset pattern <a href="http://www.trulyvictorian.net/tvxcart/product.php?productid=110&cat=14&page=1" rel="nofollow">here</a>. I've used it for another project and found it to be a really good pattern.

Isn't it fun when you peek at the inside of a corset and there's a cool fabric surprise? ;)<br /><br />The back is actually open about 4" in places, and I prefer a 2" gap. I've got both white flats and spiral steel in this one (I find that the spiral steel is best for kickass curves!) though I could have probably just stuck with the flats.

"Waisted Efforts" showcases a lot of late Victorian and Edwardian corset images and patterns, but I find the draping instructions are really only good for theater. "Corsets and Crinolines" is a great book to check out as well; it includes corsets from the 16th century through the 19th, gives patterns and images for several examples, and provides historical written references as well.The Laced Angelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18098291155808824251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8071082523501639380.post-11912943986328243732012-08-22T18:19:38.483-07:002012-08-22T18:19:38.483-07:00Thanks for the info.

Love the color combinations, (I do that too, line the coret with fun fabric). I use self bias fabric for the edges rather than bias tape. I used to use flat springs steel but found that it makes the corset too heavy so now prefer the flat white metal boning in 1/4". Again, nice job, well done.

I haven't worn it for a long period of time yet - haven't had occasion since the ball - but when I tried it on that weekend, it felt like a lovely gentle hug :-) I'm fatter than you - maybe the fitty things will work on my body where they didn't work on yours? Heck, that overbust corset pattern you made did wonders for me, so I can't wait for a chance to wear this Edwardian out-on-the-town.Lauren Stowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09008240537371936468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8071082523501639380.post-41647167243287782882012-08-22T09:39:19.314-07:002012-08-22T09:39:19.314-07:00Great job!
