Description

In this course, you learn go through every aspect of corset design from measurements to drafting the shoulder, arm, waist and all important fitting darts and allowances. I also teach you how fundamentals to calculate measurements so that you can draft your very own corset pattern that can be placed on drafting paper ready to transfer to fabric for sewing a final successful design.

This course shows you two of the many ways to draft a corset, so you can choose your preference in your designs. You also learn how to add the corset back panel, and add seam allowances for a pattern ready to cut.

What you learn:

  • How to layout measurements for a corset pattern

  • How to draft the bust radius

  • How to draft the waist dart and the bust dart in getting bust cup

  • How to draft fitting lines and curves that will fit the body

  • How to calculate circumferences for the bust and waist

  • How to cut out your corset pattern properly

Fashion requires your ability to put your measurements into a good order for a fashion design to work creatively and this course will help you master that process.
