Construction Demo - Quilted Gore Victorian Overbust
On my web site I have published a two-part demo/tutorial on how to make a Victorian overbust style corset with quilted gores. It's the same information as in series of my journals here last winter, and I compiled it into a formal 2-part article a couple weeks ago. I was originally waiting to publish until after this material was published at Fashion Students Online, but that site is undergoing a massive overhaul and I'm not sure how long it will be before they resume publishing new material.
Construction Demo - Quilted Gore Victorian Overbust - Part 1
Construction Demo - Quilted Gore Victorian Overbust - Part 2
This is detailed construction walk-through of a Victorian-style corset with quilted gore piecing. The core is two layers of coutil on the panels, three layers of coutil on the gores. The cover material is peacock blue dupioni silk. Boning is spring steel flats, flossed in place. The first part of this demo covers the assembly of the body panels, and the creation of the boning channels. The second part covers how to quilt and insert the gores, and how to edge the corset.
