You made a corset!

That looks great!! Tell me, on a scale of 1 to 10, how hard is it to make a corset?

Thanks!! actually corsets are not a lot of work depending on the style on average I would say about a 4. This was tricky because I didn't have a pattern to go off of just a cheap corset I found that had the basic structure I was looking for. This corset I made with the leather and actual cups built in was more of a 7. Normally I make my corset reversible so it can be very tricky if you have one with a front closure and shoulder straps. If you want to know more send me a message.

Thank you very much

You made a corset!

HAHA yep I love making corsets for costumes since they are very adjustable.

A corset just seems like a monster to make. Good job!

I love seeing a project come together.

This looks amazing! I'm working on a much, much, much easier 1950's pinup-style Wonder Woman for Alabama Phoenix Festival. I'm so impressed by your corset. I'm terrified to try to make one. I can't wait to see it all finished.

Okay so a lot of work has been happening this week. Here is the pic of the swords ready to get their paint and detail work done.



I also had to scale down the scale mail to fit in the side openings of the skirt. Here is a before and after photo
Before one panel:
After both panels:

Also so far this week I got the detail work done on the belt, so that is ready to be primed and painted

Thanks everyone!! the con is just around the corner and I am happy that it is coming along as easy as it is so far. Fingers crossed that it stays that way.

Was able to whip up a template for the eagle on the chest.


Opting to not do the full chest armor at this point and time....so now how to figure out how to attach this sucker once it is made.

What are you making the eagle out of?

 

[Belleb08]

I am going to make it out of worbla which is a fun thermal plastic.

Im not sure if you thought about it or if it'd work but maybe you could attach some temporary clips like this behind the eagle
So it would be detachable. And as i said if you attach the clips with something removable it would make it easy to work with if you wanted to attach the eagle to the corset permanently.

One option is velcro. Stitch one side onto the corset and epoxy the other to the backside of the eagle. Makes it easy to disassemble for travel, and if it does get knocked off at any point, you can put it right back on.

Thanks guys!! I really like the clip idea so that I do not have to add anything to the corset and can use it for other costumes down the road. I was looking at Velcro but was trying to minimize what I needed to put on the corset so I could use it for other things just as a corset.

Why you stopped updating? I'm sure many of us is curious about the end result. I know that I am. Please update soon.
