Victorian Corset Workshop in Oakland April 10th and 17th
Make your own custom Victorian Corset to wear to Steampunk events.
The Greater Bay Area Costumer's Guild (GBACG) is hosting a 2-day workshop in Oakland, Saturday, April 10th and Saturday, April 17th 10am-5pm
Have you always wanted to make your own corset? Maybe it’s time you made a new one? At the end of this workshop you’ll know why they "build" corsets instead of make them! In this two-part workshop, experienced sewers will learn to alter the pattern to make their own custom corset for historical and sci-fi costuming. You will be able to get expert fitting help while having the mysteries of building corsets revealed with master teacher, Carol Wood. Two days plus completing homework between sessions should allow for enough time to finish your corset. We will be using the Laughing Moon Mercantile #100 pattern, you'll be able to make the Dore straight seam corset or the Silverado bust gore corset, which can be the foundations for your 1837-1899 fashions. Cost is $100 for GBACG members and $110 for non-members.
