This is an 8-panel (excluding bust and hip gussets, 14 including) demi-bust corset pattern based on an original Edwardian design (conical rib shaping). It has a gentle curve to accentuate your waist - a 2'' reduction on standard sizes with the option to increase the bust and hip spring using different sizes bust and hip gussets. Sizes (UK) 8 -20 (US 4 - 16).
Note – a 2’’ back gap is factored into this pattern. If you would prefer your corset to close at the back, add 1’’ (12.2mm) to the edge of each panel 8. INCLUDES A 25 PAGE DOCUMENT OF CORSET CONSTRUCTION NOTES!

The corset length measures 37cm at the centre front and 35cm at the back.

This pattern is drafted in AutoCAD and available as an instant download - you will need to print out on size letter (A) or A4 paper, making sure 'actual size' and 'centre the print' is ticked in your print dialogue box.
