Burda Style For people who sew
Description
This is my first corset, made using the Silverado pattern from Laughing Moon. I chose a white brocade coutil fabric and the corset is finished both on the outside and the inside. I made this for my cousin, Karen, shown in the images. Took hundreds of hours of work, but I’m really satisfied with the results. I’m going to finish it off with a ribbon at the top, and the lacing needs to be longer. (PS I’m having trouble loading images due to problems with the website… in a few days there should be more photos!)
Material Notes
White coutil, steel bones, white thread, busk, grommets, white ribbon, white laces

that is truly brilliant! I’m looking forward to more pictures. Now I understand why these are so expensive to buy – 100s of hours to make… boy, you’ve got some patience!

I’m told a dedicated professional can get the time down to about 30-40 hours work, but I wasn’t really counting for my first try out!

Well done – I have this pattern waiting in queue – it’s nice to see how it turns out.

Hi Ged, Wow this is amazing! What a lot of work you have done on this. It is such a lovely shape and finished so well. Your cousin must be really happy :) I have never made the Silverado (only the Dore) but you have really inspired me to give it a go. Those bust gores look kind of tricky though. Any hints? K xx

The bust gores are a bit tricky to do… I’m thinking of preparing a short tutorial on that when I get back home in a week or so…

Actually, upon reflection, the bust gores are just like godet insets into a dress, with similar issues involved in getting it right… If you’ve done the one, you should be able to do the other!
