Corset Presentation

Our corsets were our final project for out Body Contouring class last semester.  I am posting this now because we just recently had our critique for them.  Seeing as almost the entire corset is hand basted and sewn with special tailoring techniques, we did not finish earlier enough to have the critique before the last class.  I wanted to wait to show you the pictures until i was able to properly photograph them on the dress forms.  Everyone did an amazing job creatively and technically with these corsets!

Lynn explaining her beautiful red corset with foux leather piping(an incredibly difficult material to sew though). 

Kourtney explaining her stunning corset inspired by the veins and muscles of the body.  She created her own fabric by melting a plastic web fabric to her organza!

Sydney's corset inspired by Japanese art and folding.  She pleated the center panel and created the two adjacent panels by covering the purple raw silk with the navy organza.

My corset.  I created the fabric by sandwiching lace in between two layers of organza to give it a more subtle feel.
