We are very excited, and delighted, to welcome Elizabeth Moody of Moody Corsetry to the Miss Maker Studio. This is a three day class over the early May bank holiday weekend. On this course each student will create a well fitting modern corset – this will be a single layer corset in corsetry fabrics with internal bone channels, front busk, and lacing to the back. You can choose to make an underbust or overbust corset. 
 
Skill areas covered:
Understanding a corset pattern and its markings
Using a toile (mock-up) to perfect fit
Cutting out fabric and corset seaming techniques
Inserting a split busk
Hand tacking and machine stitching applied bone channels
Using spiral steels, flat steels and synthetic whalebone to their best effect
Inserting two-part eyelets
Lacing your corset
Finishing and binding your corset
 
You will have a choice of which corsetry fabrics you use and colour of busk and eyelets. Your corset pattern will be drafted to your unique set of measurements, and you can keep this pattern.
