25 beautiful and historically accurate corsets covering almost two centuries of dressmaking, from 1750 to 1917. Each stunning example is accompanied by a full working pattern, photographs and drawings, plus an historical overview giving an invaluable insight into making up these period pieces. Two step-by-step projects demonstrate both the pre-1850 hand-stitched methods of corset-making and the-post-1850 techniques using the sewing machine. Includes practical advice on every aspect of working with historical patterns and period detail, from inserting gussets and split-busk fastenings to different styles of lacing, eyelets and flossing.
