4.0 out of 5 stars A great little workbook, 1 Jun 2004

By A Customer

I wasn't sure what to expect when I bought this but I have been very pleased with the purchase. The book has patterns for an 1890 style corset (with steel boning),1860 style corset, chemise, drawers, 1750 style corset (with shoulder straps and steel boning) and a 1700 style corselet. The patterns need to be drafted from the grid. The book has intructions for how to make each item, but sometimes steps are missed out and some guesswork needs to be employed. Also, the lists of notions are inaccurate (I ended up buying far too much boning for a start!). However, I would recommend this book to people who can use dress patterns but have never made corsets before (like myself).

5.0 out of 5 stars A concise and simple guide to creating the perfect corset, 22 Nov 2000

By	cenbrennah@hotmail.com (Ipswich, England) - See all my reviews

Although small on size this book is big on information. It give details and small scale patterns on how to make corsets from all eras. A must for the amature costume maker, or professional goth.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good guide, but..., 20 Nov 2003

By	S. Gibson (Cambridge, UK.) - See all my reviews

This book contains useful patterns and tips for making modern versions of period corsets. However, these are by no means historically accurate, and they fail to take into account how corsets were used to alter the posture as well as restrict the waist.

It is a good book if you are looking for an easy to wear version of period dress and are not concerned with exact reproductions.
