Corset

With all the expensive fabric I had left from the Norma outfit, I decided to make a corset. Again, diving in the deep end and trying something tricky. I'm always up for a challenge.

I decide to use the Simplicity 1345 pattern, corset C;

I already had the fabric, but ordered the eyelets, steel bones and busk from sewcurvy.

I found it easier than I initially thought, and for some reason people are scared to tackle something like a corset. But it really wasn't that bad, in fact it was easier sewing something with smaller panels, than working with larger pieces of fabric, like Norma's outfit.

And this is how it eventually turned out;

The theme for Cybil's House this month is Easter. So, taking my inspiration from the film Easter Parade, I decided to add a bustle to the corset. Unfortunately though, I never made it to Cybil's as I had to work :-(
