You'd be put work probably keeping kittens from dangling off the fabric by a claw!
I'm curious too. I have no idea how corsets are made - they seem to be one of those things a dressmaker aspires to (but probably never has the nerve to try). As I have nowt to lose but time, I may as well give it a shot.

Oh have you made one?
Are they really difficult?
I got mine from the local market, straight out of the Simplicity catalogue.
What else have you made?

It might sound really daft but if you were living just down the road I'd really like to sit and watch :)
Of course I'd hold stuff if asked :))
I'm just really curious when someone can make stuff or do something that I know I can't or I've never seen.

They have lots of useful stuff on there for corset-making.
So - you gonna make a corset? ;) more…

There's some pleasure to be gained I think from wearing a fully rigid corset, rather than one that just looks like a corset :yes: more…
