Students will begin with measuring themselves, selecting their size, and cutting their pattern size out to hand finishing the binding, within a 6 session, 22 hours total, class. Students will learn about the history of corsets and how they are used in modern fashion nowadays. We will physically go through one way to build a corset, but we will look at and discuss the other four main ways to build a corset. Students will learn about the specific tools corsetry uses, like grommets and busks, and how to use them properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003eWhile learning and using the corsetry techniques Sarah will also be talking in depth about corsets, their historical significance, and the different types that developed throughout the ages! She'll talk about how different innovations progressed them and about the types of materials that originally built them. The ultimate goal for this class is to have a finished corset by the last day that is tailored to you!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003eThere are a range of different fabrics you can select for the outside and lining of the corset - of which we have plenty at the shop, but you also may bring your own fabrics if you've been holding onto the perfect fabric for the perfect occasion!
