CORSET PATTERN! This is a 16 (heart)/ 17 (petal) -panelled over-bust corset pattern with a beautiful curve to accentuate your waist. Currently available in eight sizes plus a greater variety of hip sizes. Includes a 25 page manual of construction notes! There are also size variations at the under-bust (+1''). This corset is now owned by Jesy Nelson of Little Mix if you 'd like to see it in action! https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/13168219/jesy-nelson-corset-little-mix-confetti-promo/ Note – no lacing gap is factored into this pattern. ALSO INCLUDES A 28 PAGE MANUAL OF GENERAL CORSET CONSTRUCTION & FITTING NOTES (see video)! Although I include a tonne of written information with this pattern, I don't include a video of how to make this corset, sorry - there are plenty of YouTube tutorials on line if you are more of a visual learner. Also available in paper format for anyone not able to print this at home or get to a print shop; https://corsetsbycaroline.etsy.com/uk/listing/1621022004/paper-pattern-the-petal-the-heart-corset This is an advanced level design - altering for fit is not as straightforward as vertically-panelled designs and some corsetry knowledge and experience with fitting and altering patterns is necessary if your measurements differ wildly from the standards. Three construction methods are outlined. There are two variations to the design - one with a heart shaped front and one with petaled panels for an interesting innovative corset. The shaping is slightly Edwardian (S-curve) with a flat front. Note; there are concave and convex panel edges sewn together in this design which can create issues if you get bias stretch in the fabric as you sew - check out this video to help alleviate this common problem: https://youtu.be/ayaZjkp1920 This pattern is drafted in AutoCAD and available as an instant PDF download - you will need to print out on size letter (A) or A4 paper, making sure 'actual size' and 'centre the print' is ticked in your print dialogue box. If Adobe reader (free) is used as your PDF Previewer, you will be able to isolate layers and therefore print only the sizes/lines required. The pattern is also provided in large print format A0 (colour and Black & White) if you have a local print shop and prefer not to tile A4/US letter sheets together (note: if you are in the UK you can use an on-line print shop such as The Fold Line to print out A0 patterns). Please take a look at my website where I have lots of information about corset making. Please remember that this pattern can't be used for commercial profit (such as a line of ready to wear corsets) - use to your hearts content, but only for yourself and clients!
