Toile Construction

My 18th Century toile was very easy to construct and it only has 4 panels and the seams are pretty much straight . Sewing the bone channels are timely but no problems have arised yet.

My 19th Century Arts Ed corset also smooth sailing on Toile construction side, the seam have all matched and the curves have started to shape the fabric as it should.

My 20th Century S-Bend corset is a little harder. The seam lines are dramatically curved and if not matched properly will ruin the whole look. The gussets where fiddly to insert but have i managed to sort them out.

I’ve gone from a 4 panel corset to a 10 panel corset to a 12 panel corset and so far construction has not been to stressful. The task will come when its time to enclose seams and make sure they all match up.
