Back by popular demand!!! More and more on TV you are seeing wider belts and underbust corsets being used as great fashion accessories. This one day class uses Rye & Ginger Corset Kits which are pre-cut and ready to sew. You not only learn the basics of corset construction -- like how to put in a busk, mark and set grommets, and create bound bone casings -- you also end up with a fashion accessory you can wear when you're done. Many people complete this project in class time. We need your waist measurement in advance to ensure we have the proper kits. A selection of kits will be available early, and there will be no refunds for cancellations after August 1. One, 8-hour session. Class fee: $195 which includes the Rye & Ginger Corset Kit of fabric, lining, interfacing, bones, busks, casing tape and lacing ribbon. This class is presented by Farthingales, LA. ***Please note 0 the store is not open to the general public until noon on Sundays, so students will need to arrive promptly at the east door on Main Street for admittance.
Sunday, August 15, 9:00-5:00 at the Evanston location.*** |

VICTORIAN OVER-BUST CORSET CLASS
Click on the class name to link to the
on-line registration page.
The object of this class is to learn how to fit a corset mock-up and build a corset using the double layer construction technique. This includes applying a busk, measuring for and chooseing bones, marking and setting grommets. The class starts with a commercial patern, and you learn to adjust it to fit your body measurements, make a mock-up, and fit it with the teacher's guidence, transferring the changes to the original pattern (so you can make your next corset without a fitting partner), and finally putting the corset together. This two day workshop is fairly intense and the students rarely finish in class time, so the corset you end up with is a basic white corset that has been your learning tool - it may or may not be something you want to wear but it is an excellent reference for future corset making. This class has sold out previously. The next time you make this corset, you can use a fashion fabric on the outer layer. Class size is very limited. Class fee:$295 which includes corset materials, bones, busk, fabrics, grommets and pattern. No cancelations after August 1st. Presented by Farthingales, LA.
Tuesday & Wednesday, August 17 & 18, 10:00-4:00 at the Evanston location. |
