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.

Comment from a happy client - 'I have four prolapsed discs in my lumbar due to a horse riding accident when I was a teen. I found that when I am wearing a corset, the entire area is fully supported and it helps to compress it and reduce the pain. It’s the only non painkiller way to reduce the pain and help keep me mobile. This particular pattern is just perfect to support me because of the longer back and lower over the hips. I will definitely be making this pattern many more times.'

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 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.
