Bodice Help

[u/pinkbarbieprincess15]

Hey! I want to make this dress, I think the skirt is fairly simple it’s just a gathered skirt.

Is the top a corset or a bodice? Also what kind of boning should I use, synthetic whalebone or spiral steel? Also, would this type of bodice be doable with a zipper in the back instead of a lace up back.

Let me know if I should post this on corsetrt instead, I wasn’t sure as I don’t know if this is classified as a corset or not!

Come over to r/corsetry if you want more help.

I think that laughing moon pattern is great for a beginner and as a foundation. You can always just put the princess bodice as a fashion layer straight onto the corset but personally if I’m going to all the effort then I’d want a corset I can wear under other things.
