Bridal Lace Corset with Satin Bands

When To Wear

As a bridal top worn with a long satin or lace skirt.
For evening events with a high-waisted skirt or trousers.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Close-fitting corset shaped by vertical panel seams, extending below the waist.

Neckline: Strapless, straight across. Upper band 1 is folded in half, pressed to the shape given on its pressing template and set into the neckline at the front and back.

Bands: Upper band 2 is shaped by pressing and topstitched onto the front and back with a raw edge 4.5 cm from the neckline, the band above overlapping its stitching line. Lower band 1, then lower band 2, are stitched on from the waist down along the lines marked on the centre front piece. All bands are bias cut and fused.

Closure: Separating zipper in the centre back seam.

Finishing: Metal or plastic boning in the bodice seams, cut 2 cm shorter than the seam. Every corset piece is cut from satin, from thin lace and from fusible interfacing; the main pieces are also interlined with dense organza.

Lining: Satin recommended for the lining.

Level Of Difficulty

Advanced. Several layers per piece (lace, satin, organza, interfacing), boning in the seams and bias bands shaped by pressing and placed along marked lines.

Fabric Recommendations

Satin for the corset, bands and lining; thin lace for the overlay.

Additional Supplies

Separating zipper
Metal or plastic boning
Dense organza for interlining
Fusible interfacing

Cutter's Must

If the patterns have a double contour, they include seam allowances. If the contour is single, the patterns do not include seam allowances. Seam allowances: Seam allowance for the center back seam (for zipper insertion) of the garment - 2 cm. Other seams - 1 cm. Attention! First, print out the paper patterns and lay them out on the fabric width (fabric width should be at least 140 cm) to determine how much material you will need.

From satin:
- All corset pieces and bias bindings. (It is recommended to use satin for the lining as well.)
From thin lace fabric:
- All corset pieces
From dense organza:
- All main corset pieces except bias bindings.
From fusible interfacing:
- All corset pieces and bias bindings.

Sewing Instructions

When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match! Try to observe the grain line direction.

Metal or plastic boning, 2 cm shorter than the seam length, should be inserted into the bodice seams (for ease of processing).
Zipper in the center back seam.
Bias bindings should be reinforced with fusible interfacing. Upper binding 1, folded in half and pressed as indicated on the pattern for pressing binding 1, is then stitched into the corset neckline along the back and front.
Upper binding 2 is pressed and then stitched onto the front and back with an open edge at a distance of 4.5 cm from the neckline. Try to sew it so that the upper binding overlaps the stitching line of the next binding.
Lower binding 1 and then lower binding 2 are pressed and stitched onto the front and back from the waist down along the lines indicated on the center front piece.
