This is a one or two (with busk) panelled under-bust corset pattern with a gentle cinch to accentuate your waist (3'' waist reduction on standard sizes). The main panel is curved into the ribs and hips by the addition of gores. The gores allow for great flexibility with sizing. There are many gores - you will become good at 'gores' if you attempt this design!

ALSO INCLUDES A 25 PAGE DOCUMENT OF CORSET CONSTRUCTION NOTES! Intermediate standard (not recommended for complete beginners).

Note – a 2'' lacing gap is factored into this pattern.

The corset length measures 29cm (11 1/2'') at the front and 35cm (14'') at the back.

This pattern is drafted in AutoCAD and downloadable as a pdf file - you will need to print out on size A (letter) or A4 paper, making sure 'actual size' is ticked in your print dialogue box.

A toile must always be made to check the fit of corset patterns – at this stage you can experiment with the different sized gored to perfect the fit. You will also be able to test the length of the corset at the toile stage - lengthen or shorten by trimming the top and bottom lines to suit your model.

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.
