I made one like that- except linen/cotton blend both sides and bias tape instead of leather binding- I call it my "sports corset"!)(great for hot days and very washable!) Betsy

Allison, I have made a corded corset and no, it won't shrink dramatically. Even if it does, it will stretch back out again once under tension. Mine is made from cotton corset coutil and linen tabby lining with hemp cording and garment weight leather binding. I find after wearing it for a couple of hours, I wish I could tighten it a little, but being a front laced, I can't. Highly absorbent garment however...
