Vivienne Cupped Corset pattern

A  modern multi-sized cupped corset pattern with 14 panels (7 each side).

This is an advanced corset pattern with a standard 4" cinch to the waist and cup size options from A - E.  The silhoette is quite conical in the ribs with a very rounded hip shape - this is the corset to make if you're a fan of Jessica Rabbit!  

Printed on a single sheet of A0 80gsm paper, and completely packed with instructions on how to make this corset and a bunch of transferable hints and tips that you can use on this project and any other corset making project.

As far as I know, this is the only cupped corset pattern on the market!

To make this corset you will need:

• .75m coutil fabric (enough for a single layer corset, double up for a double layer)
• 12" corset busk
• 4 x 36cm flat steel bones for the back panels either side of the eyelets
• 3m of spiral steel boning and end caps
• 1 pack of eyelets
• 3m bias binding
• 6-7m corset lacing or ribbon
• fat quarter of Bra cup foam
• 0.5m bra wire casing if using bra wires
• 1m grosgrain ribbon or tailors tape for the waist stay

Notes:

You may want to make your own binding and/or bone channels from the same fabric as the corset, in which case you will need extra fabric.

if you want to line the corset you can do so with coutil or in the name of economy, a quilting weight cotton.

The busk length may need to be shortened if you have a shorter torso, this is easily done with tin snips.

A double layer of coutil with or without cotton batting in between will give the same effect as bra foam.

You should always make a toile of complex patterns in which case I recommend the cotton duck fabric for this project, you'll need a metre to be on the safe side.
