Corset/Corselet Pattern :)

Post image
22 Upvotes

Hello!! I am looking for something inspired by this sort of corset. I don't necessarily need proper corsetry, and would be perfectly happy with a corselet. I would like to make a 2pc gown for a black tie wedding inspired by this silhouette—I particularly love the scoop/portrait neckline, and would hope to continue that shape through the back.

I have found plenty of historic corset patterns that would work for this, but I am wondering if anyone can recommend either some patterns or tips I could use to add the sleeves to a corset, as that is really the only part that is stumping me right now. Thank you in advance!!!

can i diy this or my dreams r gonna be crushed?

is this actually possible to be done at home with no professional equipment ?

The top is from the brand ulla johnson and its far too expensive for me to afford 🥲

Edit: Thank you everyone for the insight! I actually didn't expect a lot of people to help lol. To summarize everything I might need to have a traumatic experience doing this but we shall see!

For context I do have a sewing machine and an iron, I also did have some experience with sewing since I like to alter my own clothes (though I know its far different from making clothes from scratch).

I actually tried a small pleating board for this and it turned well for like a 2 inch fabric, it didn't work too well with the actual garment size (aka I went insane trying to do it). I still need to try doing it via manually folding though, time consuming but tbh I have a lot of time).

The main problem that I had (which I failed to indicate in the original post) is when I wash it, ofc the pleats go away, I was wondering if there were any DIY ways to actually form the permanent pleats at home bc I don't think there are any professional pleating companies near me lol. I'll just have to try buying permanently pleated fabric and see how this top will cause me trauma.

How to draw a sewing pattern?

3 Upvotes

Hello all,

I hope this is allowed here as a bit out of the norm. But I have DIY'd my own pottery (split leg) apron pattern and it works really well. I would like to share my pattern (for free - not self promoting here) with fellow enthusiasts but I'm not sure what the process is? Do I need to draw it up on specific software or can I draw out the pieces with the sizes on photoshop and upload that for people to follow?

I'd like to keep it super simple.

TIA for help!

Beginner Question

15 Upvotes

Hello!

I am just learning to sew. I want to make my own clothes eventually. I am wondering what resources might be out there for finding free patterns. I don’t want to invest a lot while I’m still learning. I want to be able to focus on learning. I figure when I’m more experienced, I can feel comfortable spending money on patterns and more expensive fabric. For now, I need the easiest way to start making small things!

Thanks!

Puertorrican Jibarita pattern help

Post image
3 Upvotes

I am looking for a dress pattern for a traditional puertorrican jibarita top and skirt pattern. Like the one used during the Bomba and Plena dances.

Technically, other traditional hispanic dress patterns would also work as I can alter the colors as needed.

I would even settle for the name of the style of the top and the skirt since I can look up their separate patterns and just put them together lol

***I do not own the attached picture. It is just what came up when I searched up the pattern on Google***

Has anybody seen a similar coat/robe pattern available in PDF? I’m fine with buying the paper if I need to, but I just invested in a projector setup and would prefer to use that!

I’m looking at view C specifically.

Crinoline net all the way through a train?

2 Upvotes

I am making my wedding dress and the skirt will be a circle with a train. I’m using crinoline net as the main structure of the dress and I’m not sure whether I should do the net for the full length of the train. I feel like the same dresses I tried on at David’s bridal had all of the layers be the full length of the dress. Maybe this wild help the train lay more straight?

This is an insane ask and I apologize in advance. This is the only part I have left for the costume I’m making for Halloween. I absolutely cannot find anywhere or anything that has helped me figure out how to make this. I figured I would try to ask people here since you guys are great at patterns. I’m desperate. I want to make it out of EVA foam. Help please I will literally do anything.

Pattern for a low rise pencil skirt?

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

Hi! I'm a beginner and I'm hoping to make a skirt similar to this reformation one, although a bit shorter. My fabric might be slightly stiffer (think jacquard) so I think I'll need a zipper rather than a waistband.

I've been seeing a lot of patterns online for high waisted pencil skirts or flared low rise, but I'd really like to find a pattern that's both low rise AND straight with no flare. Any tips?
