I'm going to take the plunge and make this Teens corset--well, have it made.
It should be an interesting experience for both of us, the corsetier and me.
A learning experience! I'll feel much better about making and wearing the
dress--the one I first fell in love with and possibly more--with the

Few people _are_ as thin as the fashion plates. Heck, compare
yourself (or anybody else!) to modern fashion illustrations. Nobody
on earth has legs that long (and I am long-legged)!! nobody.
Corsets aren't all that difficult to make, but you do need a fitting
buddy with educated
Oh I know nobody really looks like that, but one can wish :-)
Anyway, the cost is being offset by the fact that the corsetier *is* a
friend, who happens to make corsets Since she's never done this period
either, it will be a learning experience for both of us, so I'm only paying

Now, sitting in those long-bodied corsets must have been...interesting. At
least
one shows creases where your thighs would bend.
You'll notice that the bones do not go all the way to the bottom, but usually
stop at the high hip line. The casings do continue all the way down but usually
And while we're at it, what sort of stays or whatever do I need if I want to
wear this authentically?
I'm serious, I am totally lost in this era, I just know I love the look.

Here's one from Past Patterns.
http://www.pastpatterns.com/8109.html
These types of gowns usually have an unssen lightly boned foundation bodice
that the other stuff is draped onto. A pattern like this might include such a
detail.
I don't care what my friend, who is one of the people who puts Chicago

I don't think it looks 30s at all. It's a pity this is the only still
picture I could find. There are some better angles in this video

It's an episode of Doctor Who (series 3) set in 1913. Is there a pattern for
something similar that anyone can recommend? I'm sorry, it's the best still
picture of it I can find.
