I am >>> specifically >>> hoping to find Victorian era corset patterns with hip and/or bust >>> >>> gores.
One of my fave corset patterns of all time is Past Pattern's # 708 "1845 -1860". http://www.pastpatterns.com/708.html I find it works for 1820's to early 1870's The pattern is lightly boned but I have added bones between the bones on the pattern and one could add more. The shape is divine! After the late 1860's, early 1870's you'll need another more rigid shape. A pattern like Past Pattern's #213. http://www.pastpatterns.com/213.html These should do until you come to the "straight front" corset of the early 1900's. This is where Past Patterns and I part ways. DO NOT GET their pattern #106!!!! http://www.pastpatterns.com/106.html It is NOT what is illustrated on the front and the patter requires so much tweaking that you might as well start from scratch. Hate it! - _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
