New Curvier Corset in Light Blue

Hello there! Finally posting a new project. I've been reworking a victorian-style corset for some time now. By victorian, I guess I mean that it is more curvier than the previous corset.



I had some trouble with the other one I made being to short to wear with the low cut pants that are in these days. So, I made one that extends down further over the hips. I also worked in what I'm referring to as an "intarsia" design into the front. I'm calling it that because creating it is very similar doing intarsia in knitting using floats.

I reduced the number of tabs in the lacing by skipping every other one. I don't have it laced as tightly as it will be for faire. I want to break it in slowly. Mom laced me upsidedown from what I prefer being small chested and all. Ideally it should be laced starting at both the top and bottom and tied in the middle, but my shoestring laces were too long for that. :)







Thanks for looking!

Oh! If you want to make your own, I do have the pattern to make this corset available for trade.

Thank You for Your Support

I wanted to take a moment to publically say THANK YOU to all of you who have sent tabs our way. We really appreciate the thought and effort.

I've been pretty busy lately with other craft projects before and during the holidays. So much so that my true obsession (can tabs) has had to take a back seat. I have lots of idea planned, but need to get my tabs collected and get started.

I'd also like to add that we are constantly in need of all shapes and sizes of can tabs for our creations. Anyone who has tabs they'd like to contribute, we would be extremely grateful to you. They can be sent to:
