Kelly outlines the process of recreating this low-busted early 20th century corset from the original 1913 patent and pattern through to flossing and garters.
I love the fancy patterned coutil <3 I have loads of it ready for a project at some point in the future. This is beautiful - great job :D

Wonderful! The use of this coutil combined with amazing lace decoration and those fun suspenders really looks breathtaking! Interpretation of the pattern is really good. On the paper the pattern doesn't look this great. You made me want to try this pattern for myself.

This is beautiful and exactly the kind of shape I had in mind trying myself! Thanks! :)
Love the fit! You've also done a wonderful job with scaling! And the lace works beautifully with this corset. Kudos and thank you for an interesting and great article. :)

I'm super interested in doing something like this, for the Fortuny knockoffs I'm experimenting with and/or for what I'm currently considering for the 2020 contest... As a plus size person, my body is not really what Fortuny designed for, so I think it will be important for me to use a foundation like this. Thanks for this article! I don't have the software to try to scale it up that way, so there will be some experimenting in my future!
