Transcripts

1. Chapter 1: Corset Design Kit Introduction : The beauty of the female figure is often lost in average crossing. If there was some way to provide adequate supports, those beautiful cause would have standouts. That is why I made this course at design kits. And Stella, I will be your instructor because it is a woman's comment that have shaped the figure and live the boast line, It's costume course. It must be carefully drafted by a designer. So much the desire for ego in this class on sewing course, I will teach you the easy way to drop suits highs of course sites with a few simple method, so much the desired free go, we will drop both the front and the back and caught out the final design and piece them together to get the final products. This course is for beginners and sewing with an understanding of basic bodies drafting, and also those wanting to know how to design their own cosets. My basic body design costs that is available on my Instructor page. If you haven't drawn this curve, you will need a few basic sewing tools that I will list in the course. For the last few years, I asked specialized in women's and children's clothing, making unique and high-quality, fresh on designs with code surprise, Western and African styles. I have sought new fashion designers from my experience and perspective on quality, irrational customized clothing for this course, SSIs, you would say the class cuz to coach your own concept pattern. I have also provided measurements and steps to follow to help you successfully caught your own design interrupting per pound. After this class, you should be able to use your measurements to drop and cause because of programs that you can customize your older finance public. If you are ready to get started. Let's go. 2. Course Materials: In this course, the materials you've been needing, your SIP Pro, your ruler, you're French, call your Caesar's, your market and your pattern paper. In addition, the Busy Bodies pattern and measurement had been included in the cost and load. 3. Chapter 2: 2-Piece Bust Corset Overview: In this class I'll be teaching two different sides. Of course, there could also be in different forms. You can now the cop can have different panels. There's one with two panels. There's also another one with three panels, that evil Psalm with four panels. For in this class, I'll be teaching you the one we took panels and also the second type with the three panels. 4. Drafting the 2-Piece Corset: In what we have already don't visit body. So what we need to do in a true look for the boss, the boss pan bar. Before we look for this boss panelists, then take the neckline, uses 6.5 for this, for the sake of this tutorial. But if want to use seven, That's fine. It's all depends on what you want. If you want eight inches is okay. For the sake of this theorem using 600.5, they joined the point together like so. Then go ahead to live bates, That is the neckline. This is the boss point on the boat. Then the width line. When you are done with that, go ahead to look for the boss span, which is eight divided by two, which is four. That is what I'm doing. You also go to the underbars mark for the width mark for then joined a point together. Like so. When you are done, the next thing you do look for the radius of the BOS, which is the distance between the boss and the boss is 3.5. The market round. Get the radius. You can see like the way I am doing. But if you have your compass, you can use a compass to do that to make it faster. But for the sake of people that don't have compares. So I have to use this method by going through it 3.5 to make a circle. That is the radius of the bus. Does go through it round. Like I'm doing. So does God treats make your radius? Wouldn't be any pointed dotted line? Make sure you know what you want to use. You just like a guideline for rows. So this is the circle, the radius of the both. So the next thing you do, you have to look for the dots. Go under the boss, take one inch in both side, one inch in both side, then do the same thing. The waistline. One inch in both sides, one each in both sides then joined it to point together. Some doing it does draw the points. Make sure you draw, it's fine. Like so. So what you need to join the point to the boss points in recovery, like I'm doing right now. Joined the points, do the same thing in the other one. Like so. So that is all for that. Once you are done with this semester, you do the neckline sick also 118 in both sides. Join it to the post points. Some doing it right now in a curved way. Just be careful with my joining the call. Like so Sunday, so the nasty do the bonus points, say two inches upward? It's all depends on what you want. If you like and take on an avid depends on how deep or high you want your boss to be. You want it to be. If you want to show, you can go a little bit lower. But if we wanted coffee, Cassie, go higher like 3.5. But for the sake of this tutorial, I'm taking two or three inches from there. You take one inch. Do same. The boss then joined the points together. Just a guide. So that point join me to that. Please. Join me to point together. Okay. This join it. You make one inch in both sides. By the time you are covering it when you finish, you need is going to be round and not sharp. So join me in the car. Join that to point together. Like so. Don't be in a hits. So make sure you get the points correctly. Join it like so. When you are done with that, you go up from that point joining two points. Joined the points. We have done for this part. When you go on the dot points, mark half an inch depth, unload adult parts of both decide balls. We have fuller boss. This is why we are creating half on each day to create more space. Joined up points. Join it together in also in a recovery. Make it fuller. Coverage. Joined up points together. Sam didn't right now. Joined that subpoint together carefully. Like so. When you are done with that, so just tick up with this line. Take it up. Take it up, like that. So then joined the point together. Zoom. Make sure it gets into the HAM WHO to join with the unholy. Ahead through sec. The results are measurements. That is the boss measurement which is divided by four, give night. I also also go to the width measurement, which is 32 divided by four, is eight inches. This point nodes I have not added any similar ones, have an ID at the dots. Allowance. Allowance is added yet. Okay. I'll be adding them white cotton fabric. You joined the two points together. Like so. 5. Cutting Out The 2-Piece Corset: Like so you have to be careful at this point. Know which two coats for k. Just watch me carefully the way I'm cutting. I don't cut out the useful one. The protons want suit coats, gradual UK. Take your time. Watch the way I'm causing cotton out. The dots parts. Bringing out on the center, cut out the center, the center front. Just watch the careful white coating. Be extremely careful. Be careful at this point. That is the center front. Qazi. One of the boats, cop cop one. So I don't get confused when you are joining them. Nodes I have not added n meet allowance that keeps saying is that I don't not confused. Okay. When I'm cutting the fabric level will add allowance. You want to do two cubs to the front, to the sensor front. I'm using one. And that is for the joining. I'm going to use f and 840 joining when adding the allowance. Okay? Just be careful white coats in courts gradually. Some cotton right now. Be careful. Just take your time. Like so. They caught this side. This side of your costs sets gradually as there are some cotton right now, gots and gradually you just caught project. I've already cut them out. That design is gonna look like. But don't forget to label your data one, which is to liberate, to go ahead to tip it for it to show you how he's going to look like. 6. Assembling The 2-Piece Corset: I've gone ahead to join them know, to couple it together. That is exactly how it's going to look like. Okay? So that is the sensor paths of the cost sets. That is DCS, the other parts of its on why this part is departs where our boss is more fuller. Why this is the wave of the cost sets. This is exactly how it's going to look like. So beautiful, you can't see. So let's go ahead and do the second part of the cost sets. 7. Chapter 3: 3-Piece Bust Corset Overview: Now we'll be focusing on the second cost. We just finished the first concept, which we know we have seen in the first course sets that we made use of the width dots and the net dads. Well, in this conduct, in this second course, it will be focusing on the width dads and also at the boast dots. 8. Drafting the 3-Piece Corset: This is a comparison of the cost sex. So what we'll do you just for the BOS pan, the cane H divided by two, which is four. So this same thing all round, then join the point, the same thing we did in the first one. The force that seems tape taken, okay. Just like different joined the points together. The dots false. Okay. They can want age at the waistline. The under both, thick one inch or so. Then joined the points together. Join the two points together. Like so. Then go ahead to join them as points. Just the same way we did the first one. Like so. Let's try to look for the distance between that. I want to do the radius distance between the posts and just take the radius or round dotted point. Just take it round. K ticket, round 3.5 inches. That is what I'm using right now. Just exactly what I did in the first one. Line. Those points, those dots, a point on the line. Okay. Constituting the radius. The radius points. I've not done much anything. That's just 19. Okay. Let me just release so that we don't get confused. Okay. That is all what she needs to do. You go to the boss points, the coastline, take two inches upward. From there, take off an H horizontally, inward, same down, then join the two points together. Just a guideline. Joined up points. Often h takeoff on each day in both side, half an inch. Indent joined. The points assigned due right now. Be careful. You can do saying joined up points taken off on age also. Join the points. Some do right now. Be careful upon we don't need it ducts the right. Just take it up. Thus ticket. That point's just pick off the it depends if you wanted to make it higher. This point, I just wanted to make it higher so that my cleavage will cover illegal. I'm taking a little bit higher above the neck line. Okay. If you still want to just maintain the net lie, You can see maintained the lightened neck, ma'am, right? Like Xue. From this, you see what I'm doing right now? We want to take your site dots sticking outside That's just take up an inch. In both sides. Both points tick off an inch and boast line. Alpha1, alpha2, alpha1 into K. Don't need to do both points. Are the points like so. A daughter side. Half an inch. Half an inch. Once you are done. Bill, 13. As you can see, I've lived it just for you so that you don't get confused. But I just wanted to make it a little bit wider. I will just want to increase that. Parents want to increase it a little. Okay. I've not done much thing just increasingly linked to know the first line that is offered that you go ahead, take your horizontal measurements. The boss measurement is six divided by four, which is nine inches. Nine inches. Okay. The waistline that is two divided by four inches. At this point I'm RD my dots for the for some people that might be confusing the first time ID at that point I I'm adding the dots. Okay. It does joined it to point together. Notes, I have not added any seam allowance. Joined points together. The post points on the wastes join it. 9. Cutting Out The 3-Piece Corset: When I'm causing the fabric, I'll add all these points together. Okay, so now go ahead to courts. Have not added any seam allowance. When I am caught in my fabric. Add seam allowance to number one. That is half an inch. That's what I'm going to add. The center part to join it is alpha an inch? I'm going to add four and I'm quoting, be careful what? I'm cutting. Okay. That is the sensor. Be careful. Way across and up parts of K that is sent up firm's costs the path, of course. You can see what I'm saying. Disjunction, you have to be careful. Cuts the top one go and I'm quoting, That's going to cause the men in the side products. Go ahead to join the all the panels. Okay. So now I will show you how it looks like after coat and this is how it looks like. We'll go ahead to join them. 10. Assembling the 3-Piece Corset: Allow this exactly heights. It looks like it's really came on very beautiful. C is so lovely. So that's it for the second and the third panel located. Not added any allowance to any of them. Okay. So when you're cutting your fabric, you add half an inch for joining. We will join. You add a fun aging the Nobel one panel. Have an inch that won't happen into K compared to adult one age. That is for your joining. This is the lovely cost-savings, okay? If you have gotten to this point, just know you are really donuts Phi 11. Chapter 4: Corset Back Panel Overview : Now we are done with the first and the second cost sets will be focusing on the buck panel of the causes. 12. Drafting the Corset Back Panel: Let's draft back panel. I just need to do is to transfer all these points on this points to go ahead to transfer the lines, okay. That is the neckline. Transfer those points, the boss point, then the wastes. Then go ahead to rule it. This part is the Zip allowance, which is one and for k, When a half inches, if you want to use one is 51 are used to both. I'm using, I want to liberate the neckline, the boss points on the board. Then the wastes, okay. Then the boss pan, which is a divided by two, give us for for the for the line for E Cheese as well as Nick. Okay. Join the points together. Take a half an inch input side and joined the point net. The wastes. Like so lights though. Same thing here. Jordi points that width. Tick audio results are measurements. The boss measurement, them using yeast that six that is divided by four, which is nine inches. Okay. So do save the same thing at the neck to same number. Go to the width light that it's z2 divided by four, which is eight inches. Okay, before then take the dot, the dot, the measure, what is the then you add it, that is the dots that we are removing. Then the waistline. One inch. That is the dots. Cosa be caught in, it's out. What do you want to do? Because we want to ship me though, we wanted to debulk to look nice.

And that is the sense of fruits of the panel. While that is decide frontal cape of the panel, that is this one right now is the back of the cost set. 15. Chapter 6: Adding Allowances: During the disease they have fabric. What all I need to do right now is to add, allow us to do this. This is the one-week course and I want to add allow us to the fabric right now. All you need is half inch up an inch, down an inch. This all I want is for joining. What I would do is to just join me to care. When you use your tip. Rounded juicy is exactly half an inch is because I'm already used to know out exactly half an inch. One inch you see isochore from the nest and I do courts. I'm going to look like this. The padded of ASU. You do the same thing you did but I didn't half an inch to an inch. Every one inch. You measure an inch. Inch to everything. You measure it. Using ice to get you. Please measure as a new student. To do measure to give you accurate measurement of the coachee. Same thing. 16. Assembling Pieces with Allowances: This is the final products. What are we displaying? Since this is the warned in the form r one, similar ones. So this is the one with the seam allowance, half half inch allowance. This is the center front. There's a fourth pattern nailed the second panel. This is also decided. Decide froms. Why does this seem decisive? Allow, and you can see this is 1.5 or if you like and use one inch, whichever one you want to care. Why this is the work the initial maternity allowance. And you know, we are truly say cotton out that I didn't have HLS for joining. This is a zipper loss or weight. This is the side. That is all for these parents on how to add your seam allowance to eat. Once you are done with this, go to your fabric just by dissolved allowance to your fabric directly, the wheat season it in order to allow us to this. 17.

Things To Remember for Corset Drafting: Now they are done with all your drafting. Lots of pins you need to remember at the data level that is on by your posts, you should come up by half an inch so that when you are where you are joining it, it will not bring a sharp edge is gonna be. So roan, also, another thing you need to remember. But when you are drafting for the sidebars, remember to add half an inch or one inch or three-quarter because this side of the bars is bigger than the center part of the posts. Also, after causing the panels. Also remember, that's no allowance was added when you are transferring to your fabric. Remember to add those half inches allowance to before you coats or before you have your final panel.
