Farthingales L.A. stocks a few corset patterns from various
time periods, all are contemporary drafts based on historical
references, but use modern-day body measurements.
These corset patterns are not standardized and we recommend
making
a mockup of any corset or costume pattern before cutting
your good fabric. We have tested most of our corset patterns,
but not all. Advanced instructions, critiques and photographs
for many of these patterns can be found in
the Period
Costume and Photo
Album sections of our other website, Farthingales
Fabrics (Canada).
What is a mockup?
A mockup is a test garment made from scrap or inexpensive
fabric. A mockup is used to test the fit and style lines
of a garment. A mockup is crucial in corset building, as
the corset has to fit the body so perfectly. The length of
a corset is more important than the circumference; if a corset
is too short it will not cover the breasts as desired. If
it's too long the bones may poke into the underarm, and it
will be uncomfortable. Making a mockup will discover these
potential problems early enough to do something to avoid
them.
We strongly recommend the Victorian corset by Laughing Moon
Mercantile and use it in all of our corset workshops.
We also have corset kits designed to work with this pattern
in either black or white
with everything you need including coutil, German plastic
boning, lacing tape and a 12" straight busk. The pattern
is included with the kit and this can be ordered from
the price
list below.
