Designed as a follow-on from the beginners course, this class takes students a stage further into making decorative corsets that have an additional outer layer.

The difference between the Beginners and the Advanced course:

In the beginners course you have built up a pattern to your own measurement and made a one-layer plain corset. In the advanced course you can adjust your pattern to a further customised unique shape and then work on it to create a luxury corset. You will be focusing on the special techniques of constructing a two-layer corset with two different fabrics. Many students choose to bring satin, taffetas, silk, brocade, lace overlay and retro fabric to give the corset a couture touch.

Things you need to bring with you:

sharp scissors
notebook
pencils
rubber/erasor
thimble
fabrics that you wish to use for both layers. Please click the Useful Links to view the supplier list about where to source leather or fabric
one reel each of polyester and cotton thread that match the colour of your fabrics
headed pins and hand sewing needles

Students are strongly recommended to have good sewing skills on a domestic machine and experience of making corsets or bonned bodices before attending a class.

Class maximum: 6 students
