This is a digital sewing pattern for a late Victorian Corset about 1880 (half bust) and a matching chemise, wearable for presentations until 1900
This sewing pattern shows an 1880´s corset with five panels, adapted from an extant pattern. The corset should be made from Coutil and lined with a midweight cotton fabric. All seams are boned, as well as along both sides of the lacing. Additional boning can be added as desired, using boning channels made from Coutil strips.
