Hello Needleworkers..

It's been a very busy week for me, lots of deadline to meet but of course my love for the community always motivate me to pause and share some of my project here.

I made an overbust corset and pants for a client.

One thing I love most about this project is the latest technique I used in making the overbust corset and how the pant crotch was perfect for my client.

The first thing I did was to make the pant after which I proceeded to the corset blouse.

I used the bust and divided by four, after which I took the under bust tightening and all necessary measurement before transferring to the fabric.

I also interfaced the fabrics using a cotton hair stay to give it firmness.

I encased my Rigilene boning on the lining which was a bridal satin and caged the bust using fibre. That's why it was looking this way even before my client wore it.

There was no power supply at some point so I switched to a local iron (called the gas iron) , that was the most annoying part of this project. The gas iron is not usually fast as an electric iron. One would have to wait for a long time for it to get heated and it also requires patience and skill to use, else the fabrics get damaged.

I joined the main fabric also known as Damask and sewed the dart together.

I gave it a very good open press, so it relaxes well.

I turned the lining with the main fabric to give it a beat finishing.

My client didn't wanted a tube, so she called me to help her fix any kind of sleeve to it

I used my discretion and fixed a strap I cut from the pant left over. I pleated and attached it to the upper bodice.

The outcome was nice and the new technique which is the bust caging, made the corset firmer on the client's body.

I managed to receive just one picture of her rocking the outfit and at least it's better than not receiving at all.

After I made this two piece he brought her sister to make something from me and very soon I'll be sharing the project as well.
