How I Made a Civil War Era Corset | Historical Sewing, Hand Embroidery #civilwarfashion #corsets

I will be sharing how I recreated a civil war era corset, complete with hand embroidery and tons of bone flossing! Want to see how I did it?

I will be sharing:
*How I drafted a historical pattern to my own measurements,
*Made paper and fabric mock-ups,
*Created the signature blue embroidery of the original corset
*How I sewed the corset, complete with new corset-making techniques I have never tried before,
*How I created the dense bone flossing of this corset

Stay tuned to the end to see how the corset fits, and what my experience has been wearing it!
