At the end of this five week class, you will be able to confidently adjust corset patterns to fit, cut corset fabrics, cut corset bones to size, attach bone caps, insert a corset busk, expertly bind edges, grommet and lace your corsets, and much more!

You will finish this class with a fully finished single layer, fully boned underbust corset, your adjusted patterns, and the knowledge and skill to create a basic corset!
