Project background
I've long had the desire to create all the corsets in the book Corsets by Jill Salen. I knew it was crazy thinking, but I've decided to succumb to it even though it will take a while.
The challenges I face may not only be technical construction, but anatomical. I'm short at just under 5'3" or 159cm, stout (as described in vintage sewing patterns), and with what Monty Python would refer to as "huge tracts of land". Also known as the family chest, and for which I can thank my mother's father's mother.
Please don't expect to see hand sewn garments, as that isn't what I enjoy doing. I'll machine sew wherever possible.
