Mumified Corsets....

^ Sounds really random, but actually is a corset process (couture as well!!) Basically we started by getting enough pattern paper to fit around the manikin, then made sure the paper was tight to the manikin by adding darts to the front/back and side. After this we covered the corset in sellotape. I found these steps really interesting as they are so different to the previous techniques I have tried!!! The morning was enjoyable learning this and I worked with Mary which meant we got things done and finished in quicker time!! :)

I also found the fact that if your a size 12 you would wear a size 8 or 6!! so that the corset would fit tightly enough!!....craazzzy- definitely wouldn't be able to breath in that!!!!
