Ladies Victorian Corset Underware

This is a very well-made pattern! I was expecting something similar to the thin, flimsy patterns you'd buy in a craft store, but this is significantly higher quality. The paper is nice and thick, and it comes with a booklet that not only has detailed instructions on how to assemble the pattern, but also a few pages about the history of the garments you'll be making. I'd recommend this to anyone looking to make a historically-accurate costume.One note: I would suggest tracing the pattern pieces you plan to use onto another sheet of paper, rather than cutting into the pattern itself. A garment as fitted as a corset is likely to need a lot of adjustments, so it's good to have the original pattern on hand to use for reference.

I know that a fitting DVD exists on Laughing Moon's website. Fitting for a corset is a very different animal compared to costume fitting especially for larger busted women. Take that in mind. Aside from that once a good fitting was obtained the pattern is a gem. I love that this one was on white paper and not the pattern tissue paper. Made transferring and altering the pattern to fit much easier.

I am enrolled in a corset-making class in Oakland and this is the pattern the class required. So, far, it is easy to understand, but even if you get stuck, it's easy to google questions and find a wealth of information from others who have used this pattern.

Arrived on time instructions are clear and it is primted on thick paper, not tissue paper. Only complaint I have is the chemise would not work for and 1850s formal dress. But everything else does

It was not a corset it was a pattern to make a corset
