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

This is a Commission for 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:
Time: Around 12 hours for this as it was harder to match the plaids.
Cost: For the fabrics and materials it ended up me around £45 to make (but purchased her own fabric).
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.
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
