Викрійка історичного корсету “VIVIEN”

Corset with a tightening effect with a detachable volumetric barrel. The upper line of the corset runs about 3.5 cm above the chest line, the bottom along the barrel at a level of 13-14 cm from the waist (along the side seam). The corset is lined. There are two reliefs on the front. There are also four petal inserts on the chest. In front, the corset has a busk fastener, on both sides of which tunnels for the ankles are sewn. Adjust the length of the fastener according to your height so that when sitting, the fastener and ankles do not rest against your legs. On the back, there are two reliefs and lacing in the center. All reliefs and side seams are sewn and form tunnels, as well as four tunnels along the one-piece slats (two on each side of the lacing). Corset bones are inserted into the tunnels of the reliefs and side seams. Between the top and lining details, at the waistline, a santure (non-stretch corsage or rep ribbon that allows for additional tightening) is sewn in. Decorative tunnel stitches are made along the petals and along the bodice, into which a macramé cord is inserted. The upper and lower sections of the corset are finished with an oblique inlay. The pattern provides for two types of bodice: expanded (volumetric) and regular (figure-fitting).

You can sew this model with or without a busk fastener, just with lacing on the back. And on the front instead of a fastener, make several tunnels with bones. You can also make this model without decorative stitching on the petals and barrels, here it is up to you
