Designed as a follow-on from the beginners course, this class takes students a stage further into making decorative corsets that have an additional outer layer.
The difference between the Beginners and the Advanced course:
In the beginners course you have built up a pattern to your own measurement and made a one-layer plain corset. In the advanced course you can adjust your pattern to a further customised unique shape and then work on it to create a luxury corset. You will be focusing on the special techniques of constructing a two-layer corset with two different fabrics. Many students choose to bring satin, taffetas, silk, brocade, lace overlay and retro fabric to give the corset a couture touch.
Things you need to bring with you:
- sharp scissors
- notebook
- pencils
- rubber/erasor
- thimble
- fabrics that you wish to use for both layers. Please click the Useful Links to view the supplier list about where to source leather or fabric
- one reel each of polyester and cotton thread that match the colour of your fabrics
- headed pins and hand sewing needles
Students are strongly recommended to have good sewing skills on a domestic machine and experience of making corsets or bonned bodices before attending a class.
Class maximum: 6 students
