Here is a neat computer morphing film based on many portraits that H-Costumers will be familiar with. Pretty cool what you can do with a computer and 500 years worth of beautiful art! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUDIoN-_Hxs or http://tinyurl.com/23mle4 Enjoy! Anne

I needed to make a straight-front corset to go with Janet Arnold's 1901 Ribbon Dress for my sister's wedding. I did it minus patters and mocking up on check fabric (to keep the grain though out). Basically I worked from the much earlier laughing moon pattern sheet (didn't have the pattern w/ me)

The cut of the corset itself is really very impressive from an engineering standpoint. I taught myself how to create patterns for them by looking at the originals, and _had_ to figure out the purpose of each piece and feature. First, the difference in stance and silhouette is not just an
