Subject: [h-cost] Corset cutting suggestion
Have you tried using your own basic block (sloper)as the basis for the
corset and drawing in the corset lines as applicable - (yes, there is more
to this process than just drawing in the lines, there is dart manipulation
and taking off the required amounts to change the shape..etc) I can
imagine you are frustrated trying to take a corset for an unknown shape &
size and alter it for your own...I know I wouldn't be bothered... I'd
rather manipulate my own shape to achieve the correct corset.
Just a suggestion

I was looking at this website to find out the price of custom made
corsets, as I'm getting tired of the number of times I've needed to alter
the corset pattern I'm currently working on (the 1844 corset in Corsets
and Crinolines, the bust is way too big & I'm on my third round of
alterations to reduce it) I can't afford to buy a corset, > Elizabeth
