Corset Cover

[atherleisure]

At Costume College 2023, I decided I needed a ruffled Edwardian corset cover. On New Year's Day I finally made it. It's cotton lawn with a fine lace that is probably nylon and china silk ribbon for ties. The pattern is from page 68 of The Edwardian Modiste by Frances Grimble. The pattern doesn't have ruffles so I estimated what I thought I'd need, and I think they came out suitably sized.



I haven't tried it on under an Edwardian waist or bodice yet, but I think it will help with the look.

Corset covers are just so ... effulgent.

Thank you. And thank you for teaching me a new word.

It's a good word. Thank Sir Gilbert & Mister Sullivan for teaching it to me originally :D

Hurrah for pigeon breast support. Can totally see how that would support those blouses instead of just ending up with saggy drape in center front.

Definitely. It was one of the things the teacher stressed in the undressing the Edwardian lady class.
