Pattern Pack A: Size XS–XXLPattern Pack B: Size 18–26 Plus Our 1860s gored corset pattern is the perfect foundation for all crinoline-era fashions. This corset nips in the waist, smooths the hips and torso, and supports the bust without creating a dramatic push-up effect. Compared to our 1880s Victorian corset, it has a lower bust height to achieve the fashionable low, wide shape favored in the period, and a higher hip line to best suit a full-skirted silhouette. Pattern features: Appropriate for 1850s–1870s Bias-cut front panels Bust and hip gores Designed for a front-opening busk and steel boning Back lacing with alterable lacing strip seam Includes multi-sized printed pattern, sewing instructions, fitting & mockup guides, and list of supply resources. You can also get all the specialty supplies for our corset and stays patterns in our corresponding kits. See materials list below. This pattern is recommended for those with intermediate to advanced sewing skills. How to Pick Your Size Our stay and corset patterns are based closely on historical shapes and extant examples, but utilize modern construction techniques and materials to bring you an accurate silhouette in a sturdy, comfortable garment.
