How to Sew a Corset - Tutorial with PDF Pattern

A corset sewing tutorial complete with a multi-size PDF pattern! 🎉 The “Lillian” corset is a basic waspie (short underbust corset) sewing pattern. The pattern is suitable for anyone at an ambitious beginner level and above – corsets do require precise sewing, but I’ve done my best to make the pattern as simple to follow as possible. This video follows the same basic structure as the written instructions, so feel free to jump back and forth between the two. You can download the PDF sewing pattern here: https://ko-fi.com/s/1e94d86970 This pattern comes in 15 sizes - corset sizes 45-115 cm / 17 ¾ - 45 ¼ inches (suits approx. uncorseted waist measurements 53-128 cm / 21-50 in), with further instructions on how to adjust it to your specific size. This project has been… A Long Time in the making. Initially I only planned to use the pattern for my own projects, but as my business has grown and changed over the years – and since so many of my subscribers here on YouTube are sewists in their own right – I decided to turn it into a sewing pattern that you can use instead! I hope you like it as much as I do, and I’d love to see what you make (tag me or use #LillianCorsetPattern on Instagram!) Beige/gold corset modelled by my friend Riah!
