Victorian Corset Making

Lori is a long-time Somewhere in Time, Unlimited (SITU) Member and experienced costumer; and she has taught corset-making in the Pacific Northwest for many years. Join us in this 3-session class to make your Victorian Corset, a foundational garment for every costumer’s wardrobe.
In addition to the workshop fee, each student will pay the instructor for a specialized corset-making kit (about $35 – $45 per person), payable at the first class session. Cost for each person will vary a bit, depending on supplies needed to customize the corset to your figure.

2 packages of wide single fold bias tape for bone casings
