Artist's Comments

Please excuse the awful quality of the picture. I'm no photographer and I had the most rubbish light!

This is a Commission for :iconglassangel4: who asked me to make a corset for her in her Fiances Tartan. This Tartan is MacPherson Ancient.

The corset went together pretty easily, took a while to get the shape just right as it cant be too deep at the lower front otherwise it would be uncomfortable the sit down in. I really want to be unprofessional and try it on because (although the images here are a bit rubbish) it looks as though it would be comfortable to wear and really slinky.

Construction stats:
:bulletred: Time: Around 12 hours for this as it was harder to match the plaids.
:bulletred: Cost: For the fabrics and materials it ended up me around £45 to make (but :iconglassangel4: purchased her own fabric).
:bulletred: Black Coutil base with 11oz tartan and an interfacing for the middle layer. Double boned in all the seams and along the grommets with spiral steel boning. Steel busk.
:bulletred: Blue ribbon to match the light blue in the Tartan.

What I love about his corset most of all is the binding. I used strips of the tartan (tried to get the bluey bits but it was a bit difficult) and hand sewed the binding, and even though it obviously doesn't match in I still think it looks wonderful. I'm considering doing the binding this way for all my future tartan corsets.

Thanks for reading. Hopw you like it :)

Thank you! Hopefully I will be able to continue making corsets as I do love the overall effect they create to an outfit/individual.
