Hi, there, ho, there, everybody… Gosh I love being out of bed before 7.30! It makes me feel like I can take on the world! In a championship napping contest, that is. But the interwebs was totally not cooperating last night, and I wanted to share finished pics of the regency corset before I head off to work!. :)
All in all, the shape turned out quire graceful. I’m rather happy. By “happy”, I mean “crowing with pride”. ;)
Very lovely. And cool. And yes, it looks a bit like an alien face, but a historically accurate alien face. ;)
Beautiful. I want to make a Regency style corset. I love your design.
Thanks! Stole it from history, more or less. Funny how the historical examples do not seem to include creepy alien faces… Le sigh…
It is lovely!! I am currently making a Regency corset for a costume, and your posts have been very inspirational!
Can you tell me what book the pattern was in? (There are some pics of some books in your first post on this corset, and I would love to know what they are!)
The books are Norah Waugh’s Corsets and Crinolines, Underwear Fashion in Detail (I forget the author and I’m at work – I think it’s a V&A jobby), and Taschen’s Fashion. Love all three – Fashion is quality eye-candy…
