CORSETRY TUITION

January 2006 saw the first 10-week leisure evening course at Perth College of Introduction to Corsetry. Over the 10 weeks students covered a brief history of the Corset; history and types of fabrics/boning/busks etc; the importance of measurements taken and pattern cutting; fitting; making the ‘toil’: adjusting for size with this; the important features involved in the construction of the Corset; components that will be used; cutting; inserting busks and grommets; making-up; final fitting and finishing off. At the end of 10 weeks students had made for themselves an authentic Victorian (c1860) unlined Dore Corset.

This course is ideal for those interested in bridal or special wear and provides a good grounding for Fine Arts and Textile students.

There are no courses being held at Perth College at this time.

Future courses will be posted here.
Many thanks to the ladies that have participated in the courses to date.

I am very happy you enjoyed yourselves - and are enjoying your Dore corsets - individually made by yourselves - for yourselves.
