A Victorian midbust corset like this one is hard to find, especially in a wearable size. The smallest the waist goes is 27" and though the bustline is only 32", it's meant to fit (and lift!) the lower half of the bust so could accommodate a larger size. A chemise would've been worn underneath. And there's something off about the lacing. Who knows what it is? 🤨 . . . . . . . #victorianfashion #victoriancorset #victorianlingerie #corset #antiquecorset #antiquelingerie #victorian #victorianhome #victorianstyle #foundationsrevealed #historicaldress #historicalfashion #waisttraining #corsettraining #roseleinrarities #1800s #vintagelingerie #scurve #fortheloveofvintage #etsyvintage https://www.instagram.com/p/B5EpmFLA5bJ/?igshid=dd9rzkgg01k7

One of the antique corsets I’ll be showing at my #Kickstarter tea. Just a day and a half left to get tickets! I’ll be doing a Skype version for anyone not able to attend in person.

I took some pictures of my Foundations Revealed entry this year. Edwardian Anne of Green Gables inspired evening gown. I also compiled a quick video of all the layers, link in the comments! I plan on making a longer video soon as well. 💚 #foundationsrevealedcontest2021 #foundationsrevealed #greensilkdress #edwardian #edwardianclothing #anneofgreengables #anneofgreengablesfashion #anneshirleycuthbert #anneshirley https://www.instagram.com/p/CKUq882j177/?igshid=k29hegrrj0fk

EEEEEEE I’m so excited!!! The house of historians!!! This is via the quiz at the redone @foundationsrevealed site and it’s a BEAUTIFUL overhaul!! I think I am also sarcenet (the experimenters) since you know I’m a big believer in secondary houses. This is so much fun!! Where my other fustians at??? #foundationsrevealed #fustian #sarcenet #houseofhistorians #sewing https://www.instagram.com/p/CEt2iXRg5LX/?igshid=e1jtq4ra3z89

29. Spooky⁠ ⁠ The first corset I ever made was for a #blindmag Halloween costume. It still lives under my bed and sheds feathers everytime I get it out but I love it dearly.⁠ ⁠ ⁠I used the #foundationsrevealed basic corset drafting instructions as a base, but mockups definitely weren't a thing in those days ⁠ #seamstress #sewing #creator #maker #edwardian #victorian #inspired #madebyme #memadeclothes #memadewardrobe #handmade #handcrafted #fallforcostume #repo #repothegeneticopera #sarahbrightman #anthonyhead #parishilton https://www.instagram.com/p/B4MqNC_n3-K/?igshid=1tcfja4appsnt

been in bed most of the week with the cold/flu so have another close up of my foundations revealed entry costume. hopefully i’ll be able to actually get stuff done next week! got pink stays and my tailored jacket to work on, and i’m hoping to bust a couple of other UFOs in the near future. i might add a few more bones to the inside of these stays at the front too. #foundationsrevealed #architecture #tudor #screenprinting #printdesign #textiledesign #bricks #timber #blackandwhite #orange #red #brown #building #16thcentury #renaissance #fashion #historicalfashion #costume #costumedesign #corset #corsetry #corsetiere #stays #staymaker #foundationsrevealedcompetition #foundationsrevealedcontest #foundationsrevealedcontest2019 https://www.instagram.com/p/BuMgFU1guRh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1iwa6dkndmrqr

FR competition entry update: i have finished screen printing my stays with this brickwork pattern. next step is actually making them 😱 but i’m off to paris today so not a huge amount will be happening for the next few days. i will still be taking them with me to do some hand work on them, i look forward to roll pinning them on the eurostar 🚄 i’ll also be hand sewing the eyelets (first time doing this without using metal eyelets underneath). when i get back i’ll be adding external boning channels (the timber to my bricks) and finishing the rest of the construction. i realise i have yet to post my design, so none of this makes much sense, but i will be uploading a finished design drawing at some point soon i promise #foundationsrevealed #architecture #tudor #screenprinting #printdesign #textiledesign #bricks #orange #red #brown #brickwall #building #16thcentury #renaissance #fashion #historicalfashion #costume #costumedesign #corset #corsetry #corsetiere #foundationsrevealedcompetition #foundationsrevealedcontest #foundationsrevealedcontest2019 https://www.instagram.com/p/BtGSIGpAvgw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1arq5pbgn2kga
