Corset

Following an earlier post, a friend volunteered to be the model for my first corset.

After talking we decided to go with an underbust style corset.  First I made a cloth test to get the shape correct after a few fittings started to work on the leather for the corset.  This first corset I've made I did without any boning to keep the design simpler and easier to construct.  The corset has a black linen liner to keep it comfortable and help the skin breath a little when wearing the corset.  I finished the edges of the corset with gold and double stitching, lacing the corset with gold ribbon.
