simplified corset construction info This teeny volume shows b/w hand-drawn construction diagrams for reproduction corsets from the eras of 1700, 1750, 1860, and 1890, plus basic chemise and basic drawers. Drawings are very clear, and include some suggestions on fabric selection and decoration. Text covers step-by-step construction, fabric/notion requirements, and a chart to assist in getting the right number of the right size of corset bones. Anyone who has attempted a corset without instructions has probably ended the attempt in frustration, but this inexpensive guide and a friend to help with fitting, that w. Jolene Pirrone said A good overview. This is a good overview of corset building. But be clear - this is truly and "little" book. It's really a glorified pamphlet. It has very nice, concise building instructions for a few corset designs. There is some "different" stuff in here that I haven't found elsewhere. For example a nice way to create a finished looking one-layer corset. Also, she explains how to sew in a waist tape without the seams showing on the exterior. There are some finishing suggestions in there too. I think it's a good companion book or a resource for a more accomplished sewer looking to get into . good if you have some sewing skills Amber E. Taylor I found this book to be helpful, but only if a person already knows a little about what they are doing. Some of the intructions are vague, leaving out important information. I found her scale a little difficult to figure out at first. Other than that the book is pretty good and I don't regret adding it to my collection!
