Nooooo Between you, Bernadette Banner, and Morgan Donner I feel an immense need to make myself a corset despite me having only made 1 garment ever. The cording looks so beautiful and if/when I make my own I definitely want corded panels like that. These corsets you amazing youtube ladies are making are so much more interesting then the one's I've bought for costumes. Also I said it before on Instagram but your pattern matching on the front is like pornographic.
Yes! the plan is working ;) Project sew all the corset/stays is right on schedule to entice everyone to making their own undergarments ;) heehee
I second this, you girls make me itch to make my own corset, now I only need some extra hours in the day 😂
I couldn’t have said it better myself.
Absolutely right about the pattern matching its exquisite.
l
LOL @ "You don't need math for sewing". Sewing *is* 3D applied geometry and engineering. Especially when creating support undergarments.
Literally! Lol! My hubby does 3d modeling and he says he sees how corsets are like wireframe on 3d models. Corset designers are modern day magicians! Lol
This was such a treat to watch! Your rotary cutting skills are making me wish I had one too! I love the black accents on this so much, it adds such a sexy contrast
Thank you Morgan
I love my rotary cutter am not great with scissors I blame being left handed
As a solid size 14/16 ( US ) gal . THANK YOU for making all of the things. I love everyone in the sewingtube land. But most of them are a good deal smaller than me. I'm quite busty so to see how the corset looks on you is VERY helpful.
I love how watching you and Bernadette make these corsets gives different insight into construction and how things fit together. It's inspiring, and really interesting to see your different tips and tricks!
Beautiful and clear tutorial! It turned out gorgeous, I love the cording and flossing.
Thank you Lucy!
Love you and Lucy! Yall are my heros~!
As a fellow Canadian, I heavily appreciate and understand the use of both Metric and Imperial systems. *sigh*
I'm Australian, but my mum taught me to sew and she uses both, so so do I 😅. it actually comes in really handy!
The worst part is trying to explain which system we use where and why!
@@wynnew.h5245 I work at a Toronto fabricland and let me tell ya. The fashion district uses yards and we use meters unless it's foam. Then it's by the foot. 😭😬🤷♂️😭
I grew up in Australia (metric) and now live in Ireland (mixed metric and imperial) - it's good to know both.
I’m British and I used metric and imperial both. I say it’s the best of both worlds 😁
"Whoever said you don't need math for sewing....is totally wrong." YES! It's the one piece about sewing that I despise! And my goodness that is a BEAUTIFUL corset!
O.O....I hope you're glasses didn't get scratched?! Needle breaks suck x_x
CraftyWitch Heh,lucky I like math I guess.
You know. I keep telling myself that I’ll do something ambitious like this once I have enough confidence. However, I think I ought to just give it a go. Maybe if I just do it I’ll learn and become more confident
So did you give it a try? How'd it go?
Beautiful job Marika, very well done!
obviously I'm going to have to make myself a 19th century corset now.
NOW I KNOW WHY...Jean Paul Gaultiere fall in love with corsets.
IT IS A FORTRESS... you made a wonderful job
A MASTER PIECE!!!! not only as garment but also a great piece of engineering and construction process.
CONGRATULATIONS AND THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR FOR SHARING
Watching you sew the cording is so therapeutic I could see that all day long
You do beautiful work. A person can always see when someone has been working with material for years, taking “short cuts” without sacrificing quality of the garment 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks to you I finally know how to add my Busk!!! Subscribed and thumbs up
Thank you and Welcome
It's so nice to see a sewing channel finally from a woman whose body looks like mine. You're so talented and a total inspiration for me. Can't wait to follow some of your tutorials.
I swear, this is simply the most gorgeous corset I have ever seen. Goals!
Thanks! Absolutely beautiful. Soooo nice to meet women who sew!
First of all, Bernadette send me, second, I have seen 2 seconds of this video and your introduction video and well, I know I'm already gonna love this.
Welcome SoraNowhere! I'm glad you are here! 💗
@@EnchantedRoseCostumes 16 minutes in and it is super good! Informative and well, super interesting!
This inspires me to create my own Chanel with historical costume sewing ideas. That corset is beautiful.
Watching other people sew is the perfect company when I'm home alone finishing one of my own projects ^^
New to late 19th century costuming, but finding it fascinating, after 20+ years in the late Elizabethan eras. I've made one of the Laughing Moon corsets, but now I really want to try my hand at the Symington! Both you, and Bernadette have taught me so much, and inspired me! Thank you!
I'm probably a newer follower, only just found out about the costube community. It's really inspiring watching all the different videos... makes me want to get into more historical sewing myself.
This corset is sooo soo pretty. I've seen this on Bernadettes Channel and now I had to check out your video about it.
Thank you also, for listing all the materials. It helps as a non english speaker to find the materials much easier than trying to listen and find out how it's spelt.
:)
It turned out so pretty! I love the dark red and black together, it's so sophisticated!
I just love how calm and lovely your commentary is throughout the video, like ASMR. Also, the fact that you wrote down the materials that you used are AMAZING for someone like me how JUST got a sewing machine 3 weeks ago
Oh, how beautiful the lines of your hips! and how the corset puts them on display. I am in awe!! ❤️
Wow! Stunning! Thanks for inspiring me to get sewing again. It never ceases to amaze me what incredible details the Victorians put into all their creations. In most instances, these fabulous garments were only seen by the wearer.
REALLY interesting to cord tiny pieces and attach them to the corset! Lovely material choice, and somehow this makes flossing a corset look less scary! Thank you!
Just beautiful Marika, the deep rich colour and the attention to detail gorgeous flossing
Those pressing bars, wow! Never knew they existed.
I'm currently making a Edwardian longline corset and watching this has given me some better ideas for doing certain parts of construction that I dislike about the current "instructions" I have. Thanks so much!
Appreciated the opportunity to see the inside beauty of the corset.
I had no idea that they made a tool to sew channels more easily!! Totally picking up a few of those!
Yay to Canadian dual measuring systems fluency!! I giggled when you said that!
I’m Canadian too and I can confirm the metric/imperial switching in crafting is REAL!!
Where do you buy fabrics and such in Canada? I've only been to Fabricland which, while it is wonderful, I find doesn't necessarily have the sort of fabrics I'm looking for
In UK too, weight and height and bust is usually in imperial but fabric and patterns are in metric. 😁
wow, your sewing skills are amazing, you're like a machine sewing wizard! And here I am, can't sew a straight line with seam sizes varying a lot. I really like your videos, keep up the great work!
Lovely! Simply lovely! 🥰 Thankyou for such an in-depth look!
Beautiful corset and it looks so easy even though lots of repetitive steps. Your voice is also very soothing.
Thank you for sharing this very calming production of a ptentially very nerve-wracking process! Your attention to detail and thoughtfulness in suggesting areas to take extra caution or hints is generous, helpful and shows how incredibly experienced and knowlegable you are!
The only way I ever could handle math was because in sewing it has a practical application - the only way I could get my head around abstract forms was in ... fabric construction...
Thank you ever so much for sharing passion and inspiration!
I have seem MANY corset vlogs and this is the best one I've seen! Wow well Done! She's beautiful!😉
sooooo beautiful - I love how meticulously you work and how good I can understand by watching, the speed being just perfect :)))
Stunning❣️ the cording is beautiful and really makes a difference to the finished corset.
That front hook on the corset was not just to hold the petticoats down, but also to hold the laces of the corset bellow the waist if you tied them in front yourself, as you would if you didn't have a maid to tie them for you (or if you were the maid 😆). All to keep the waist line as free from bulk as possible! I realize this is an old video by now, and maybe someone else already said this, but oh well 😆 This thing is a beaut! Making a victorian corset is a dream of mine, but it won't happen for a couple years more at least, so until then I'll be soaking up all the knowledge I can 🧐
this is so PLEASING! I am beside myself. thank you so much for sharing this!
Glad you enjoyed it!
That was so detailed and informative, thank you very much! Your video definitely is so helpful and I will come back to it when I'm starting my corset sewing endeavours!
This is absolutely GORGEOUS, holy shit.
OMG the combination of colors it's just so beautiful!
I especially love the flossing you did -- such a beautiful detail!!
Thank You for your comment about sewing in math. I will be showing this to my nearly 11 yr old duaghter who hates math and doesn't believe me about using math for sewing becuase math is sooooo boring. With lots of eye rolling, lol. Anyways your corset turned out so beautifully! I love the fabric you chose, it's gorgeous. She's pretty emough to want to wear outside of your clothing.
Your corset is beautiful 😊 I want to make myself one now! It's also great to see someone make a corset that's for a person who is a similar size to me. Thank you!
You are incredible. Such talent. And inspirational. Thank you. X
So wonderful to see how you made the gorgeous corset. Never seen cording done before. I will happily be incorporating that in to some future garment. I loved your star constellation dress you made for COCO. Queen of the universe!
Whoa. I love my rotary cutters and use them for _almost_ everything, but wow, I think I had a little adrenaline rush when you were trimming the boning channels at incredible speed (yeah, editing) after having done all that work to get there. Lol. I’ve made a number of proper corsets ( coutil + brocade, twill, steel and all that jazz) and I doubt I’ll ever have the guts to do that. Scissors only for me in close quarters. Anyway, it’s an absolutely beautiful piece! I’ve never been satisfied with the precision of my external boning channels. Much respect to you for making them look easy - and perfect.
Thank you 💗 i spent many hours trying to make the boning channels look good 😅 my seam ripper and I were good friends by the end of this project 🙃🙃🙃
I am speechless for so much beauty.
That is one BEAUTIFUL corset!!!
Marika, this is absolutely stunning! Well done. That brocade is beautiful. I've never seen corded panels before and it's such a clever addition! Thank you for the encouragement to finish my 18th c. stays.
I’m glad I saw this! I’m currently working on my own corset and you reminded me to do a few steps before I got too far! Namely, waist tape!
yess! i've been waiting for this ever since i saw those beautiful pics on facebook! ❤❤
I love, love, love the color! You did an excellent job. It's too beautiful to hide below a garment. I'm enjoying your videos so much. Thank you for sharing this journey with us.
Thank you!
Very clear, concise, and helpful video! Thank you!
I love the colour and pattern of this fabric, I would love to make this one day when my sewing skills both hand and machine have improved.
This reminds me, I need to make my next 1912 corset! I love my first one but it's far from perfect so I want to make a second one to brush up!
It looks awesome, thank you so much for this video!
This is so beautiful! What a work of art!❤️💕❤️
I love this!!! Its beautifulll
Beautiful!!
Absolutely amazing!!
This is phenomenal
Such a nice video! I only just heard about your channel from watching everyone's CoCo vlogs and such :) Very inspiring for my own youtubing ventures! Also, metric system all the way - yes we need math when crafting, in my case mostly patternmaking for shoes, but it's the same/similar process as patternmaking for clothes and working in cm and mm is so much easier than fractions of inches!!
Gorgeous!
I need to make another corset but I want to try my hand at a spoon busk. And one can never have too many petticoats with lace and ruffles!
Your corset is absolutely gorgeous! Now I want to make my own!
How very beautiful. I'm inspired. Thanks for posting.
That is AMAZING!!! Gorgeous and so intricate. *dreamy sigh*
So incredibly beautiful!!! Excellent work.
Such a beautiful corset and a great explanation of how you created it.
You did a wonderful job, and you look just beautiful in it. Thank you for sharing
You are such an inspiration!
Amazing !!😍
Such meticulous work! I love that decadent fabric choice, and that flossing made my heart sing. Beautiful work! Also, those cording channels are GORGEOUS. I need to try and practice that technique before destroying - I mean - attempting my own corset. Accounting for the fabric "loss" while cording seems a bit tricky to my beginner brain. Admittedly, I still have a looong way to go before attempting to create a corset.
*SOBBING* ITS SO PRETTYYYYYY
as a Canadian as well I completely understand the switch from Inch to MM randomly as needed. When you grow up in paper sizes in inches but use metrics for more precise measurements. lol
Absolutely beautiful work! Love it!
Absolutely gorgeous, loved seeing the process TFS Julia x
Wow, that's really a beauty!
This is an absolute gorgeous corset!!!!
Very beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing!!!
It's beautiful! Well done!
That is absolutely beautiful, the fabric, the contrasting colors, the cording, the embroidery details, it's absolute perfection.
That is soo pretty! 💖
you are such a pro!
I'M IN LOVE!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
It's one of the most stunning corset I ever seen😻
A Labour of love as well as being a work of art.
How stunning! Amazing work!
She's gorgeous!
Ohhhh, you have created a sumptuously beautiful piece! 💞💞💞 Thank you for this inspiration!
(PS~ as a fellow Canuck 🇨🇦, I appreciate the mention of using both metric & imperial measurements while sewing.. I do the same, and used to think there was something wrong with me! ☺️)
Beautiful job!
Fantastic work - gorgeous corset and thank you for sharing the whole process 😍
