Upping your corsetry game - move into intermediate level territory

This is a 15 page pdf article (5000 words) that talks a little more about perfecting your corsetry. It is ideal for beginners wanting to move on in their abilities. The corset construction manual is more of a technical document explaining the 'how to' whereas this article talks specifically about design, fit and construction and is more of a trouble-shooting guide for those who have made a few corsets and are looking for ways to improve their skills.

Under-bust pattern - a very simple pattern to get you started if you are new to this wonderful artform.

Please take a look at my website where I have lots of information about corset making.

Please note that the cover photograph is a representation of all the designs currently available from Corsets by Caroline - available as separate patterns in the Etsy shop (this listing does not include a pattern for all of these designs).
