Where can I find sewing patterns for different corsets?
Synth аѕkеԁ:
I аm looking fοr sewing patterns fοr corsets. A friend іѕ getting married, аnԁ I hаνе agreed tο hеƖр hеr out bу sewing undergarments fοr hеr bridal party. Thе women аrе tο bе dressed аѕ Southern Belles circa 1850 (Thіnk Gone Wіth Thе Wind).
I аm nοt looking fοr absoluely authentic patterns. Itѕ nοt being judged bу thе 1850 costuming police. I јυѕt need a ɡοοԁ corset pattern thаt wіƖƖ stand up tο cinching thе waist аn inch οr two, without being tοο bulky. If thе patterns аrе a bit mroe modern οr older іn design, I саn deal wіth thаt, noone wіƖƖ bе seeing thеm.

The last time I saw something like that was at a museum in a 1910 Sears and Roebuck catalogue!
Good luck.
Try voguefabricsstore.com. They have a selection of patterns not usually carried in a fabric store as well as corset making supplies for sale. They do not have anyone on staff to answer questions about the process of making the corsets, but there is at least one really excellent book called “Corsets and Crinolines” by Norah Waugh. You can purchase that from amazon.com. You will not be able to find it at a local bookstore. That book has patterns in it as well, but you have to blow them up from 1/4″ scale– I’m assuming that you would rather have a pattern that’s already full scale and in a modern size. Many of Waugh’s patterns are actually from antique corsets and thus sized for very different bodies from ours. You could try looking for patterns at a local Jo-Ann or Hancock, but you definitely won’t be able to buy all your supplies there. Greenberg and Hammer in NYC carries the best selection of corset making supplies. You can find them at.
You’re smart to not worry too much about being real true to the period– I doubt you could get any of these women to lace as tight as you would need them to for historical accuracy. Good luck!
Try Joanne’s Fabric. They have everything that has to do with sewing in there.
