Victorian Period
Corset, Saturday 29th November 2008, 9.30 am - 4.30pm at
Countess Wear Village Hall.
This is different from a boned bodice as this a figure
changing garment with a busk front closure, back lacing
and steel boning that can reduce your waist measurement
by two to four inches and give good bust support. Corset
kits will be supplied by the tutor at a cost of £45
which will need to be ordered at least two weeks
in advance of the workshop date (see course
details for more information). This is a very intensive
day and good machine skills are required for this
workshop as all stitching lines will be visible.
Venue, Countess Wear Village Hall, Exeter. Twelve places.
Tuition cost £32 per student.
