Hope you had a lovely weekend!
I started making a 1910s corset this weekend using Jen of Festive Attyre’s pattern she took from an original corset and very graciously posted for free on her website. In case you were not aware, Bridges on the Body is doing a 1910s corset sew-a-long right now as well. Since I’ve been madly patterning away here for the first 1910s patterns for Wearing History I figured it was high time I made myself a corset to wear underneath the samples I’ll be making soon 
Still a way to go before you get a sneak peak, but I’m sooo excited!
In fitting my corset and deciding on length and such, I flipped through my old Gimbel Brothers catalog from 1912-1913 and found two pages of lovely corset images. I hope you enjoy, too! Click on the images for a larger version.
There are going to be 1910′s Wearing History patterns? SO EXCITED!
Yay!!! I’m glad you’re excited
A 1910s pattern!!!! Squee!!!
Yay! Thanks, Rachel! Working on two basic ones right now
Lovely pictures – this era is my favourite – thanks for the links to the corset pattern, it’s always nice to find edwardian corset patterns!
Thanks, Cat! It’s one of my favorites, too. This is my first 1910s corset and I love Jen’s pattern. It’s been a really fun, relatively quick project so far!
So pretty! Also good for looking at different types of chemises. Thanks for sharing!
I was noticing that, too! I really want to make a chemise with ribbon shoulder straps now
Historical Sewing on FB is having an Edwardian corset sew along. Very interesting.
Yes! I have signed up and meant to do that corset next, but got sidetracked by this one. I think it’s SO interesting to see the difference between the S Curve corset and this one in such a relatively short span of time!
Thanks for mentioning my sew along! Jen’s pattern looks great, I can’t wait to see your finished corset!
You’re very welcome! Thank you for hosting it!
I think it is great that you like to recreate historical garments and I especially appreciate you recreating a corset. I love the look a corset gives, although I am sure they are one of the more uncomfortable fashion contraptions, they sure do look pretty. I can’t wait to check back and see your progress.
Thank you so much!
They’re actually not that uncomfortable as long as they’re fitted correctly. I’m not a tightlacer, by any means. Just enough to get a period looking shape
For once I realized my limitations and didn’t even start on this project, but I love seeing everyone else’s wonderful work!
Aww! But I LOVE seeing all of your gorgeous creations, no matter what period in time you’re doing!
