Scarlett's Corset

Scarlett's Corset Costumes: Corsets, Steampunk, Renaissance, Fantasy *Early Beginnings*
You might say that Scarlett's Corset grew out of a love for the ballet.

My first experience with the construction of bodices began more than 25 years ago under the direction of a wardrobe mistress with a Master's degree in costume design.*Corset Design & Philosophy*
Like my original sewing guild, Scarlett's Corset is committed to quality. The corset is based on a Victorian pattern that has been modified for comfort and to work well with our modern lifestyle and today'

s fashions...yet another evolution in a long history of corsetry. The top of the corset is shaped and supports the bosom like the underwire of a bra. The support of the bosom from the stays underneath removes the stress from the back and shoulders of the well-endowed, and is flattering to most body styles. The bottom is cut higher than most Victorian corsets and the point has been rounded, so that it is easy to sit when wearing the corset. The bottom of the corset fits well with today's styles of low-cut pants and skirts.

*Corset Construction & Materials*
What is not seen is more important than what is seen! The corsets are made with 3 layers of fabric. The 2 inside layers that hold the stays and busk are made of sturdy cotton twill. The outer decorative layer is of silk, cotton, leather or other fine fabrics. A 10" steel busk, 26 flexible steel stays, and 6 flat steel stays are used in the fabric corsets. The leather corset has 20 flexible steel stays, a 10" busk, and 6 flat steel stays. The fancy corsets are laced with satin ribbon. The leather and casual fabrics are laced with black shoestring. The basic corsets are laced with either satin ribbon or shoestring. Please look at the corset's style description to determine which is used in a particular basic style. New styles are added to the line every 3 to 4 months. From the silk brocades to the casual pinstripes, cottons and leathers, you will find the perfect corset for any occasion, so stay in touch.
