When I get a rather substantial set of pattern instructions, I will print out a copy and then take it in to my local print-shop to get it properly spiral bound with plastic sheets on the fron and back cover. It makes working through the instructions so much easier!!
I use comic book boards to wrap the fabric around so the fabric can easily stand up in my closet. I also use the boards as backing for my vintage patterns and cut up the boards for cards to wrap my lace and trims around. They are very useful and a pretty inexpensive storage solution.
Not gonna lie, I laughed pretty hard when you ranted against your measurement system. I'm confused as to why people would deal with fractions like 1/16 or 5/8 (the heck does that mean lol) It looks annoying from afar and I'm glad my part of the world uses metric for everything 😂 Only downside is when purchasing patterns like truly victorian where it's all inches and doesn't have equivalents 😭 anyways! :D the corset looks great and I'm looking forward your next project
It really depends on the style of dress. The hobble skirts or some of the slimmer silhouettes I would say yes because you can tell there is structure under there that should be there. But I recently made a 1918 style dress that I had intended to wear a corset under but it was HOT the day I was going to wear it and I realized because of the looser bodice and fuller skirt it really did nothing for my figure except make me feel more accurate. I sacrificed accuracy for comfort in that case.
@@Samanthasnow I have another question. Do you think that that I could use a first attempt of 1898 corset ( with the beginning of the S silhouette) that does not narrow my waist ( in fact it is hard to tell I am wearing a corset ) as a 1910’s corset if I wear it lower ?
I love the long line of this. Also, grommet press. Large store named after a large river in South America has them for 50 something. Might be well worth the investment. That is a LOt of grommets!

It came out so lovely!... but I know damn well I wouldn't have the patience to make that. IF I did, I'd wear the corset absolutely everywhere 😆
So i am definately doin this as my first corset! It will be perfect under every outfit from any timeperiod, until I do another one.
Love your videos! Leaving a comment for the algorithm :)
I love your little Samantha doll!
I have this pattern but am scared to start.......but loved watching you do it Sam!
Do it! It isnt as difficult as you think
❤❤❤
What is your fabric storage situation? Currently organizing my stash and could use some good inspiration and guidance! Love your work!!!

It is definitely confusing and makes no sense.
Most measuring tools and tapes have both?
@@kikidevine694 definitely not where I live. If I want I can search for it and find it but it's definitely not the default to have both.
Is it essential to wear a 1910’s corset if you are already slender in order to achieve the fashionable silhouette?
