NEW VIDEO (sorry I forgot to post it yesterday):

How to replace a broken or warped busk with a new busk (finding an identical busk to the original was an adventure I don’t care to repeat).

Some progress shots of my autumn Tauriel corset (full cosplay can be seen here (x))

Instead of using a pre-bought pattern, I made my own by wrapping my middle in duct tape to capture my body shape more accurately. For this cosplay I wanted something that would be aesthetically pleasing but wouldn’t restrict my movements (Tauriel’s a fighter after all).

After transferring the patterns to durable card and making adjustments, I made a test corset of cheap materials to see how the pattern worked out. After a few more adjustments to the pattern I cut out the pieces from vinyl and my lining fabric (the vinyl was thick enough that I did not need interfacing). 

I  did not want my corset to have a busk at the front (it seemed out of place for this elven outfit), so the corset has 3 separate sections, one large back piece and two smaller front pieces. All the pieces lace together

Since the vinyl could not be pressed, I had to stitch down the seam allowance when it was time to attach the lining to it. I then sewed the bone casings through both layers. For the middle casings I simply used plastic boning, but for the edges where the corset pieces would be laced together, I used steel boning for more durability. 

After finishing the edges with more vinyl, I put in the grommets, and then it was done!

Doll (Black Butler) Corset for anon

Okay so it doesn’t look like much in the picture but I added panels to help shape the top.

You are technically going to make two different corsets then put them together as you would a pillow case. So with the outsides facing in sew around the edges leaving the bottom open to flip right side in. Looking at the note I have above the panel, it basically says that if it makes it easier for you you can make the panels less curvy and then you can take it in later. But you would have to take in both layers of corset before sewing them together. 

Then Hem the bottom by double folding it under and stitching it. 

Then for the back, I could not find an actual picture of it so I was looking at other cosplays and most seem to have the straps in the back so I figured I would show that as well. Grommets are these little metal holes you can put into fabric with a machine thing (that I do not have so hey time to improvise). If you do not have availability to this then what I would say to do is use the button hole setting on your sewing machine but just make little tiny squares for the ribbon. 

I believe that is about it for the corset. If not let me know.
