This is a 14-panelled (excluding the 3-panelled cups) cupped corset pattern with a gentle curve to accentuate your waist. Includes an under-bust option. Size (UK) 10-22 (US 6-18), cup sizes A-DD (sizes UK12-16), A-D (sizes 10, 18, 20), sizes B-D (size 22). For more extensive cup sizes please see my designs Abi, Vivienne and the Crescent.
Approximate cup/band sizes covered are; 30-42''/ 76-107cm UNDERBUST:- 34A/B/C/D, 36A/B/C/D/DD, 38A/B/C/D/DD, 40A/B/C/D/DD, 42A/B/C/D, 44A/B/C/D, 46B/C/D. Please note that direct breast measurements (bottom cup depth and cross cup width) against the under-bust measurement are used to dictate the cup size. The recommended corset body size is based on the under-bust, with the waist and hip adjusted from that at the toile stage.
The pattern has cups positioned at specific under-bust (bottom of the cups) vertical heights from the waist (10cm (4''), 12cm (4.7''), 14cm (5.5'') and 16cm (6.3'') above the waistline; instructions are given about how to alter this vertical height if you fall outside these parameters.
There is a gentle waist cinch factored into the pattern but instructions are included if you prefer a larger reduction. The pattern is not suited to reductions of more than 4'' on the standard sizes. Note – a 2’’ lacing gap is factored into this pattern. If you would prefer your corset to close at the back, increase one dress size.
Includes a 25-page document of corset construction notes and instructions to assist you in you cupped corsetry (advanced level) learning.
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' and 'centre the print' is ticked in your print dialogue box. Outline instructions also included for making up single layer corsets and a fitting guide.
It is recommended that you make a toile to your measurements to check the fit of the pattern (you may need to make 2 or 3) - if you are new to cupped corsetry, make the under-bust version first to assess the corset body fit before moving on to the cupped version.
Please take a look at my website where I have lots of information about corset making.
There are no restrictions on the use of this pattern - 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.
