Artist's Comments

Katherine's 18th birthday present from two of her uncles.

She chose this fabric [link] but wanted the more subtle approach so we used the reverse side.

Based on Victorian styling but with a more up to date cup shape and higher over the bust to allow it to be worn with nothing undrneath.

Two layers of cotton coutil and spiral steel wires, finished with duchess satin binding.

Katherine's Corset by *Janes-Wardrobe. *Janes-Wardrobe is a professional corsetmaker and also makes period clothing in her studio and home that are in an 1855 stone barn in the French countryside that she and her husband completely renovated with their own hands. This particular corset is in a heavy-weight black and red silk. Fullview is a must to see the lovely fabric and the fine workmanship by this very skilled and multi-talented artisan. Do be sure to check out her gallery to see her other corsets and also historical clothing and bridalwear. (Suggested by =Wolffboy and Featured by `Kitten-of-Woe)

So beautiful! I love the colors, and I just adore how your boning channels look - so crisp and clean! Nice call on reversing the fabric, too, I never would have thought of it!

That is my type of present :love:

Beautiful craftsmanship! I adore the fabric, though I would be curious to see the right side.

The shape is very refined. I love the cup shape!

Thank you - I guess the boning channels is just down to practise - I've made quite a number of corsets now ;) It was actually Katherine's idea to reverse the fabric - she really liked it but seemed unsure about how bright it was, flipped it and fell in love! I do like quality fabrics - poorer quality might not lend itself to that treatment. Thouh I have done it a few times with other fabrics and other projects.

I've made a few birthday present corsets now - I like it that people consider them special enough to be given as presents.

Thank you. The right side of the fabric is in the link on the deviation. It's lovely but a bit red!

The shape took several fittings. The first fitting looked absolutely perfect from every angle except Katherine's so I played around with it until we were both happy.
Luckly she was staying with me for a holiday so we were able to fit at will. It's definately a shape that requires fitting.

Thank you, the reverse of the fabric just makes it look so classy, Katherine will be able to wear this for years.
