Two months ago I read an article, about a 1905 corset, on the website http://www.foundationsrevealed.com/.
Here is the article:http://www.foundationsrevealed.com/articles/corset-patterns/1900s-corset-patterns/521-the-sanakor-plunge-corset-1-part-1.
So, after drafting the pattern, I decided to sew it.
This is the final result:

So, after drafting the pattern, I decided to sew it.
This is the final result:
It has 26 bones and it is composed by three layers of material: blue satin; white cotton; white satin for lining.
I changed the original corset boning channels position, and I constructed it as a 18th century stays by inserting bones between fabric layers,also I didn't add the bow on center front.
I didn't use a busk for the front because unfortunately I didn't have one.
It was a long time that I wanted to recreate the sanakor due to its beautiful and particular shape.
I'm very happy of the result.
How exactly did you draft it?
ReplyDeleteI used the pattern picture contained in the Foundations Revealed's free article. First of all I made a paper mock-up to adjust the shape and then I adjusted the measurements.
DeleteHey, I found your blog last night and I'm in love!
ReplyDeleteI would love to try to create a little bit shorter underbust corset of this gorgeous Sanakor corset. The problem is that I don't have that pattern so I should draft it and by watching these pics of your corset I really can't tell how you have placed the bones. And did you use spiral bones or flat bones?
Could you help me?
Today I finished my first self made corset and it turned out great. It's made of green satin. I have never studied textile crafts but my granny has taught me since I was a kid and now I'm a young adult and textile craft is my huge passion.
Hi Ansa lines! Thank you for your compliments! In this corset I placed the bones in the middle of each panel, and I used synthetic whalebone.
ReplyDeleteThank you! This information was really helpful. I'll start drafting the patterns right away! :)
