I have found the gores to be very useful fitting the bust and hip areas of a corset, when the waist size and length are correct, but the bust and hip areas need more space. The great thing about them is, they can be easily adjusted for cup size on the bust, and for the hip ones, they can be wider or narrower, while leaving the waist size where it should be.
They are not difficult, they just take more time to sew in correctly, but then, corsets are very labor-intensive and require very accurate sewing. I have had some fun with gores by using either a contrasting fabric, or adding lace overlays to them, etc. Yours in cosutming, Lis aA On Thu, 24 Mar 2011 12:10:49 -0700 "Sharon Collier" <sha...@collierfam.com> writes: > I'm showing my ignorance here, but I want to learn so... > Why use gores at all?
