[follow up] I am still using your patterns for quite a few of my corsets and the course was one of the best things I invested in.”
I’ve always wanted a better belt to wear with my kimonos. […] So after my recent discovery of corsettraining.net, I made a corset belt with the free pattern. […] As you can see, it gives some curve to a usually flat kimono outfit 🙂 It looks very… the west meets the east!”

Corset Design: Pattern Draping, the 3D Method
Here are some photos to illustrate nicely the three dimensional method of pattern draping to create your own corset designs. I go over how to prepare non-stretch cotton for draping, how to drape each piece and mark it for transfer to pattern paper.Read More
Corset Sewing Pattern Drafting: Fixing your Edges
This tutorial explains how I fix up the edges on my corset sewing patterns; that is, how I redraw the top and bottom edges of a corsetry pattern so they flow seamlessly from one panel to another. Often after a few alterations to your corset mockup, you’ll find that your pattern edges no longer match up. This is normal if you’ve been pinching in seams or letting them out but you will then need to redraw them. This is the best way (in my opinion) to get nice flowing top and bottom lines again.Read More
Why Use Steel Corset Boning For Your Corset Patterns?
Steel supports the body in a way that plastic bones can’t. Plastic weakens when bent and eventually snaps after extended wear, it is completely useless for corset training and a little dangerous in my opinion. A broken bone can go through the lining of a corset and pierce the skin, and misshaped bones can cause backache. Nothing is more comfortable than a properly supporting corset and you can vary the width of your corset boning to provide more or less support. If your corset is uncomfortable that’s down to a bad sewing pattern or incorrect sizing. Make sure you have a pattern made or altered to fit your body correctly, or at least a standard pattern that you’ve made a mockup for and checked the fit of.
The two types – Sprung and spiral steel corset boning
Sprung steel – Comes as a flat strip of solid steel, rounded at the ends and usually covered in a white plastic coating to prevent rust. When you bend it and let go it ‘springs’ back, which is where it gets its name. So
Spiral steel – This is made up of two steel wires spiralled together (again the name is self explanatory). The two steel wires are wound into a tight strip and each end has a steel cap. Check out the picture below for the plastic, sprung steel, and spiral steel boning types. For waist training you need to use steel boned corsets. I repeat myself – plastic bones are only a viable option for lingerie and stage or party costumes not for corset training patterns.
To advise on picking between the two types; sprung steel will give you a smoother silhouette and a little more support while spiral steel will bend in directions its solid counterpart can’t, giving you more freedom of movement. If there’s a curve in your seam that requires the bone to bend in a direction other than with the flat surface of the bone, use spiral steel bones. It’s common to find corset makers who use both; spiral steels are used at the sides for ease of movement, while sprung steels keep the tummy flat at the front. Also, you must use flat sprung steels either side of your eyelets on both sides of your corset to keep the back edge straight.
Plus Size Corsets & Added Support
Corsets look stunning on the curvier figure and provide great support for a larger bust and the associated back problems that come with having a large cup size. If you need more support for a plus sized corset or added back support for a large bust, an injury, or medical condition (always consult your doctor in regard to medical issues and corset wearing), you’ll find sprung steel corset bones more supportive. If freedom of movement is a priority, then using spiral steels at the sides and sprung steels back and front might be a good solution. If you really want spirals throughout your corset then get the widest ones you can find.
For plus size corsets I recommend first evaluating the pattern and checking how many panels there are to it. Often larger sizes are scaled up from standard ones and panels become very wide. If you’re boning only the seams, then redrafting or substituting the corset pattern for one with more panels means narrower panels and more boning. Alternatively, if you can’t face a redraft, consider adding more bones by running bone casing down the centre of each panel on the inside of the corset to add support.
Yet another method to add support (and more corset boning) is to double-bone your seams. I often use wide bias binding placed over the inside of my seams, sew along each edge and then flip to the front to ‘stitch in the ditch’ (sew along the seam in the gap where the panels meet). This creates two bone cases and you can slip a bone down each. Some people use the seam allowance of the lining for one case and the seam allowance of the outer fabric for the other. Either way, make sure your casing will be wide enough to take the two bones. So take a bone with you when you purchase your bias binding or line one up along your seam allowance before you cut your pattern pieces.
