Bubbles, darling bubbles! The new year is already off to a wonderful start and I can tell it’s going to be a fabulous one!

The break from sewing has been long enough to let my neck & shoulders recover and now it’s turn to get back to the drawing board. Burlesque Ball is only a month away, so it’s time to start working on my outfit.

I am planning to whip up a Jessica Rabbit-ish shaped corset for this very special occasion. I drew the above pattern based on a 1890′s corset in one of my corsetry books. Now it’s a tad more challenging than my previous corsetry project, but let’s see how I go…

This Tudor style corset is the result of 26 (wo)man hours of raw labour and chipped nails. Featuring 26 bones, satin ribbon detailing and made out of  pale pink silk dupioni.

After two days of intense hands on corsetry classes my corset is finally beginning to take shape. I opted for silk dupioni for material and somehow managed to stuff in 26 bones. The pattern itself is a very simple Tudor style corset, but the boning is hard work. Absolutely love the process though, so I doubt this will be my last.

On that note, just received confirmation that my first corsetry book has shipped.

Here’s a couple of photos of the work in progress:

I just found a very promising corsetry course and immediately booked myself in!

Very much looking forward to creating a fully lined & boned tailor made corset from scratch! I’ve got so many divine corset patterns and ideas already forming! Can’t wait to learn how to turn that all into reality. Such excitement – it’ll be fabulous! Can’t wait!
