This is a 7-panel (horizontally oriented) under-bust corset pattern with a beautiful curve to accentuate your waist. Sizes (UK) 8 -20 (US 4 - 16). Not advised for complete beginners. INCLUDES A 25 PAGE DOCUMENT OF CORSET CONSTRUCTION NOTES!

Note – no 2’’ back gap is factored into this pattern -it is designed to CLOSE AT THE BACK, however you can trim the edge at the centre back easily for your desired lacing gap.

The corset length measures 30cm at the centre front and 34cm at the back. There is a reduction of 3'' at the waist applied to the standard sizes (see below).

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.

It is recommended that you make a toile to check the fit of the pattern – at this stage you can take adjust the angle of the panel edges slightly and thus change the under-bust and hip measurement before transferring these amendments to your pattern to ensure a perfect fitting corset!

Please take a look at my website where I have lots of information about corset making, and where you can find details of how to obtain a free under-bust pattern that demonstrates how I use different 'tops and tails' in some of my patterns that cover a wider 'standard' size.

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.

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).
