Outstanding value e-book of three corset patterns for the discerning corsetiere!! The pattern includes sizes 10 - 20 (UK), 6 - 16 (US). Each pattern is for sale as a pattern in its own right but as a collection this e-book represents excellent value for money - the collection of three patterns costs less than two of the over-bust patterns bought separately. INCLUDES A 25 PAGE DOCUMENT OF CORSET CONSTRUCTION NOTES!

I have put together Corset Classics IV – a historical collection - three more of my favourite patterns to follow on from my three other corset pattern collections. These are very much based on historical designs – one is a ‘stays’ pattern dated approximately 1715 and two are inspired by the designs that can be seen in the Symington collection based in Leicestershire, England, so roughly late Victorian. So get ready for tabs, low bust lines and gussets galore!

This pattern is drafted in AutoCAD and available as an instant download - you will need to print out on size letter (A) or A4 paper, making sure 'actual size' is ticked in your print dialogue box and you centre the print on the page.

It is recommended that you make a toile to the largest of your measurements to check the fit of the pattern – at this stage you can take in the smaller of your measurements, lengthen if need be, and transfer these amendments to your pattern to ensure a perfect fitting corset!

Please take a look at my website www.corsetsbycaroline.co.uk where I have lots of information about corset making and where it is more cost-effective to buy this design (non EU countries only sorry).

There are no restrictions on the use of these patterns - use to your heart's content. I simply ask that you don't pass on the file or use it to, say, profit from a line of ready-to-wear corsets.
