Welcome to Gaia! ::

for front-laced(or back...), steel boned cincher? it needs to be a flat underbust style, but i dont want it cupping, i have new shirts that are very elegant and sluttacular at the same time:




ignor how wrong it looks i was drinking with friends, lol

but my regular underbust doesnt do the outfit justice!
I'll be doing one in a flat black with lace (not sure what color) over it and yellow ribbon to tie upwards in three sets. thats for the yellow shirt lol

and the pink shirt i want to do a dark red, maybe blood colored leather or valour(sp?) with black embroidered/or burnt flowers.
either that or a white leather with pink stained poppies and reeds

i know how to do most of these things, its the style of corset itself that im looking for help on!

thanks in advance!

Is a really great resource for corset making information :3 They even have a "corset pattern generator" which I found really simple to use biggrin Good luck!

yeah but i dont want a full underbust, just like halfway i guess? more of a cincher... but woot! my sewing machiner is in the mail, gift from my granny! its even one that auto embroiders! *squeals* no more jabbing my fingers and staying up for days to get a pattern right! yay!!!!

Haha I'm sooo late. But what the hell, I'll post this stuff anyway.
