I am very fond of the Past Patterns late 1890s hourglass corset (pattern 213) I've made that one, and I'm very short and only averagely curved. It was easy to make and went together well. Fran Lavolta Press http://www.lavoltapress.com ___

yummy...like sweet creamy buttermm So, what IS next? You're doing these for a client, aren't you? Will they let you do, say, a striped polonaise? A gown a l'anglaise with a huge hat? **Planning your summer road trip? Check out AOL Travel Guides.

I would love to see pictures of people wearing the corset from past patterns 213. There is one in the great pattern review but I don't think it fits very well. I am tall have a very slender waist en round hips. Deredere Katy Bishop wrote: I also really like the Past Patterns 213 for 1880s

Have you tried looking at a Corset Making website? They have supplies and patterns as well as kits. I have puchased from them in the past and they are fast, reasonable and have had everything that I have needed for creating several different styles of corsets.
