Wedding Prototype Final

  • Dec. 21st, 2009 at 1:10 PM
Prototype two three is ready for review! Full contact suggestions welcome. Let's see what we've got.

Left Side mockup and final )

Front mockup and final )

Back mockup and final )

I smoothed the bust line considerably, but have the problem of back spill in an attempt to bring the bust under the arm forward. I have the previous iteration with a smoother back to refer to in prototype 3. I may also make the more dramatic pattern change and add another shaping panel. It's funny, I had an epiphany while at the spa for the approximate seam locations based on the wrinkles apparent in the robe I was wearing at the time. Even when I'm relaxing I'm thinking. Incidentally, every seamed bra I've ever worn has two seams that roughly join at the apex. If I eliminate the piecing over the apex you still need two seams that cross the bust line.

Anyway, this is the pattern I've delivered to her so that her skirt foundations can begin with the dressmaker. I have another corset that I have drafted and prototyped and two more to draft. That proto will be in another post.

first corset mock up in need of guidance

  • Dec. 21st, 2009 at 11:15 AM
This is my first authentic corset attempt.  I have made flimsy garments in the shape of a corset but never implemented the structural elements.   I had a few problems during this mock up and would love to get any opinions on what could have been done differently to get a sleeker more appealing result.  I know already that my busk is not placed correctly or it is the wrong size - it should be further up no?  I have not binded the edges b/c I am having trouble finding something attractive to bind it with.  I think doing it in the twill the corset is made of might not work with me... suggestions opinions? I never decided on the definite shape that I wanted the top or bottom while I was drawing it out.  I know now this should be something to consider before cutting next time . I understand that some corset makers  will "draw" their top and bottom lines onto the corset while being fitted on the client/model/self.  This is what I tried to do but obviously failed.  Does anyone have suggestions as to how I can draft a pattern without a definite top and bottom line and still get an accurate fit. Things I am still having trouble with: the busk at the bottom of my corset points out - !!!  I don't like this and can't quite determine why.  Is it the bottom length of the back? my bust is FALLING out- there is no way I could wear this by itself without having some seriously embarrassing scenarios playing out.  How do I accomodate for my bust.  I know I can extend the length at the top but I don't know how to keep it close to my form instead of sticking out/up at the edge.  Does appliying a binding ribbon really work for this problem? Lacing boning - I used 2 lengths of spiral steel on each side of the grommets - the back is still warping!!!

Grading Tutorial?

  • Dec. 21st, 2009 at 11:25 AM
Hi! I'm a grading and CAD patternmaking teacher from Australia. I've been teaching the subject for 3 years, and have been in the industry for about 10 years, so while I don't think I'm an expert, I do know quite a bit about it.
I've read a couple of posts recently about people asking about grading patterns from standard sizes.
Is the information already out there somewhere, or shall I write up tutorials on standard and custom sizing?

ETA: No problem, I'll start getting the tutorials written up! It might be after the holidays when I post them, as who wants to think about grading during Christmas time? :D

last corset for the year...

  • Dec. 20th, 2009 at 2:37 PM
for this corset i went for a victorian bodice look, so most of the boning channels are hidden by the fashion layer. 54cm waist, spiral and spring steel boning, two-part grommets, 2 layers of coutil. got some wrinkling at the bust sides :( it was fine when i did the mock-up...sigh...

rule of thumb?

  • Dec. 20th, 2009 at 11:53 AM
Hi,

Is there a rule of thumb for taking off measurements from patterns?

I have made several reed boned stays, drafted from my own patterns - thought I'd branch out, and make a 'new style', I bought the butterick B4254, adapted for my size (was gutted to discover the word of false sizing in shop bought clothes) and sat down to make.
I, being me, adapted the pattern, and put in two new lacing holes, from shoulder side of bust down across one pannel to the front. This should nto have altered anything, as I cut in for seam allowence, and it only affected that one pattern peice.

Its awful.

I am tall, so lengthened several inches. It hangs off my bust, doesnt tou8ch my wasit, and is far too short over the hip - just pushes my 'baby belly' out over the top of my jeans.

Is there a rule of thumb -bust, wasit and hip, you decress from a standard size?
I know this is probably a really stupid question, but find I cant get shop bought patterns that fit! What am I doing wrong!! I used reed to bone, as I dont know how to use metal boning! (and its what I had)...

Any advice?!!

Corset Mannequin Source

  • Dec. 19th, 2009 at 1:43 PM
Hi Everyone, I have been going through the community archives over the past couple of weeks (only up to late '07 so far). In doing this I have seen some beautiful antique forms and the amount of people that lust after them. Naturally I have a lust too and I wanted to look up how much they would run. Now while I understand antiques are pricey.... some of these forms range in the $500-$1000 range, even one at $3000! Now as much as I love all things old, and no matter how much they might be worth it I cannot plunk down that type of change. As I was falling asleep I remembered a mannequin supplier that I have used in the past for my job. When I was last there they had a peculiar and interesting form. I went to their website and lo and behold, a 21" waist with T&A. Needless to say I am excited and will be purchasing one after the new year. Are any of you folks interested? I live in NYC and their office is just a few minutes into NJ. I also checked into shipping and with a cast iron base the shipping is only $30 within the region. Added major bonus... there are 9 bases to choose from! Hope this helps some of you!

Help with locating long shank dies

  • Dec. 19th, 2009 at 12:14 AM
Hi Ladies and Gents, I am writing tonight with the hopes that someone out there would be able to point me in the right direction. After receiving a formal complaint about my hammering (whoops) I am looking into "big girl grommet setting tools". 

I have stumbled upon a vintage foot press from C&C Button and Trimming Co.  I have researched a little and found a patent from 1956-ish.

I was sent a photo of the dies this evening and I am interested to know where I might find addtl. setting dies with this long of a shank.  I have tried looking at various sources and unfortunately most do not show pictures of the individual dies so that I may compare.  Or the best, they show you one picture for all the different die types!!!

P.S.  I also came across a second foot press located in Long Island for only $50!  The old man seemed a bit cranky over email, but if you're interested I'll pass on his email!  $50 can't be beat, even if you have to drive a couple hours and deal with a crotchety old man (they always sweeten up in person, don't they)  ; )
