Project Registration: Caroskell Underbust Corset
Project Title: Caroskell Underbust
Short Project Description: My friend Queenie who makes corsets for a living is going to teach me her corset-y ways! I had some Caroskell fabric left over from the skirt I made at the beginning of the year and I thought it would be perfect as my first corset will not include a busk so I can put one of the cameos on the front. I'm hoping that after making a few underbusts I'll be able to progress on to corset skirts :)
Projected Deadline: I have no idea how long this will take, so erm as long as it takes I guess?
Pattern(s) Used: Laughing Moon's Ladies and Gentlemen's underbust (http://www.lafnmoon.com/product_p/p113.htm)
Materials Needed: Fashion fabric (Caroskell), coutil, Steel bones (flats and spirals), lining fabric.
Challenges or Obstacles: I've never worked with steel bones before, infact I've never really made a corset before (I did make a plastic boned thing in college for a project once but it was a bit cringe, I think it might still be floating around on Blue Period if that's still up).
