This is a bodice that calls on history for its inspiration, but it is not too historical in its appearance. The corset will be worn as a separate garment which can be teamed up with any style of  bridal skirt, trousers or even jeans for a quirky effect.

The corset is cut into several pattern pieces, allowing a wonderful shape and can be laced very tightly, removing several inches from the waist.

The focus of this workshop is on working with various fabrics and reliable construction techniques. 

Guidelines for full skirted gowns, soft  silk skirts, bias satins and vintage style laces, including fine seam detail, interlined couture skirts, seamless lace seams, gathered tulle,  chiffon hems and perfectly positioned godets, plus weighted, wired and hooked up trains.

You will work through a full range of bridal fabric samples, adding appropriate techniques as you go. A fantastic workshop for taking control of any challenge that comes your way.

This technique is the perfect 'go to' method for strapless gowns, or dresses with sheer and lace tops, where the bodice needs support. Including high neck, low back and backless, slim-fitting and soft floaty gowns.
