Thank you all for the input. I have all the materials so I won't buy a kit for the corset.
Thank you Katy for the link. I think I rather make a corset from a historic picture and adjust it to my size than to buy a pattern. And have to adjust it anyway. Past pattern looks a lot like a corset that I already have and I would like to make a different one. But I'll keep it in mind. I think I will try the one I found in corsets and Crinolines with the elastic at the hip. My left hip hurts sometimes while wearing a corset. I hope the elastic will help. And I'll probably have to make two different sides because my left hip is almost 2 cm higher than the other. And Kathy good luck with your showgirl project. It can be so much fun to let your imagination go wild :-) Deredere Kathy Page wrote: > This is an original pattern from 1898 someone has scanned in and even > explained how one could resize it on the computer.
