I was in desperate need of a Regency-era corset that was easier to wear than my traditional long-line style of stays that spiral laced in the back. Luckily I found a wealth of knowledge on the Corset a la Paresseuse (aka Corset for the Lazy Person), a wrap-around style that required NO LACING, minimal seamlines and boning, and could be put on and off in a snap! Watch me scale a pattern based on an original garment to my own size, fit and assemble the corset in only a few hours.
(oh, and I also just found out that Retro Claude made her own version of this corset, too! check it out at [ • Hand Sewing A Regency ... ]( • Hand Sewing A Regency ... ))

NOTE: If you want to try this style but want to save some time drafting and resizing, I recommend using the front pieces of the Redthreaded 1790s stays and drawing your own back piece that resembles the museum corset: www.etsy.com/shop/Redthreaded...
