Detail shot of the embroidery, cording, bone flossing, and dyed lace at the bustline of my Victorian Corset...
------
This is the corset I've been working on for my steampunk costume, though technically I made it historically accurate so I can wear it with historical Victorian costumes. I used the pattern from the book "Corsets: Historical Patterns and Techniques" by Jill Saleen, using the pattern on page 71, and the flossing design from page 74. I used The Corsetmaking Revolution PDF ( [link] ) to size the pattern, which was invaluable, plus the advice of several of my DeviantArt friends! This is the 3rd corset I've made, and my first Victorian one. I used two layers of cotton coutil, and cream silk dupioni from SilkBaron.com for the outer layer. The busk, grommets, and boning all came from CorsetMaking.com. I also hand-dyed the lace to a chocolate brown color. I liked the details of the wider boning channels sewn on the outside rather than the inside, and the cording at the bust. This was a fun project, and I know I made it right because it's pretty comfortable. I have a 24.5 inch waist, and I only lace this down to 23.5 (No need to kill myself, I don't have a lot to squish down anyway)

Here's another shot of the corset that's not in the Costume gallery:

You cut dupiony silk in same straight line than me, i usualy always see cuts in the other way.

This is seriously a feast for the eyes. Looking at this amount of detail makes me want to get better at my own craft and spend more time on little details. OUT. OF. THIS. WORLD. *o*
