I'm back with more corset sewing - this time an early-Victorian 1840s/1850s style "drab" corset. Luckily I have almost all the supplies I need to make it already in my stash. This is an interesting time period for corsetry because it bridges the gap from the soft stays of the Regency period into the super curvy, heavily boned Victorian corsets of the late 19th century. I talk about the changes that occurred over that time from the decline of shoulder straps, the invention of metal grommets and the split busk, and how the shape of the corset evolved with fashion.
