Corset Construction Manual

This is a 25 page pdf manual of corset construction information that I send out with all my patterns. (Note - why not buy one of the more inexpensive under-bust patterns and receive this construction manual plus the pattern for just a few £ more?). Included are all the instructions you will need to make a corset including pictorial examples such as how to change a pattern's measurements, insert a busk, gores and gussets, cupped corsetry, and single or double layered construction methods;

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 product (non EU countries only sorry).

Please note that the cover photograph is a representation of all the designs currently available from Corsets by Caroline - available as separate patterns in the Etsy shop (this listing does not include a pattern for all of these designs).
