I’ve never quite seen the point of corsets… they look painful when tightened.
But you did a good job! :D

They’re actually quite comfortable, Carolyn, as long as you leave room for your internal organs.

Thanks ^^ It’s definitely not perfect, but as the first corset I’ve made, I’m pretty satisfied with it.

Here’s an ensemble I made to wear to the Ren. faire.

I made the hood, bodice, chemise, skirt, and bracers.

And here’s an overdress I made. My younger sister’s wearing it with a skirt I made in the first picture, and I’m wearing it with a chemise someone else made in the other two.

I have yet to find a pair of comfortable vambraces… (mine always slide down the arm and inhibit movement of my wrist besides chafing.)
