Two-Day Beginners Corsetry WEEKDAY

This class offers beginners the opportunity over just two days to make-to-measure their own boned bodice or corset that is guaranteed to transform the figure into a shape you didn't realise you had and certainly won't want to lose!

The course is aimed at both those looking to gain new skills in clothes making as well as fashion fanatics keen to create an original piece of vintage inspired lingerie.

• During the first day students get to grips with manipulating patterns and making up a shape that will be fitted to their individual figure. Specialist material is used to form the base into which spiral bones are then inserted, producing the unique support that professional cut and styling of corsets provides.
• Day two sees the final making up and finishing with the objective of completing a finished garment by the end of the course.

The course tutor will contact each student prior to them attending the class to discuss their shape, get their measurements and make sure she is well prepared with base patterns to suit their general body shape.

Price includes all specialist corsetry materials and findings - coutil fabric, spiral boning, busks, eyelets, lacing and sewing thread, and refreshments.

Class times: 10am - 6pm
