1930s girdle with ribbon detail

This is a 10 panelled (with 4 gores/gussets) girdle pattern inspired by the 1930s. Sizes (UK) 6 -30 (US 2 - 26). There is a flattering ribbon weave detail across the tummy. Includes a tutorial for fan-lacing which was a common lacing technique in the 30s and 40s.

This pattern is drafted in AutoCAD and available as an instant PDF 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. Please use Adobe Reader (free) as your PDF Previewer - you will then be able to isolate layers and print out only the sizes you require.

It is recommended that you make a toile to the largest of your measurements to check the fit of the pattern – at this stage you can take in the smaller of your measurements, lengthen if need be, and transfer these amendments to your pattern to ensure a perfect fitting corset.
