An Introduction to Corset Making

Service Description

Corset Class In this 2 day course with Elaine Battye you can learn, and put into practice, the skills to make either an overbust corset or an underbust/waspie corset. Elaine has over 25 years experience in all forms of costume making from historical to superhero, so come and learn some of the techniques she's mastered along the way. Elaine will supply the busk, boning, eyelets and pattern. Base fabrics will be provided by The HappyDashery. You will need to bring your own appropriate surface fabric: 75cm for a waspie and 1 metre for an overbust corset. This can be bought on the day or in advance from the HappyDashery, or brought from home. Tea, coffee and biscuits are included but you should bring your own lunch. There are also several convenient shops nearby.
