Introduction to Corset Making

For Tsukino-Con next year, I'm looking at doing a panel on corset making. Because there is only an hour available, it would definitely be just an introduction. If there is enough interest, I will look at doing classes that are more in depth, and that will show you how to make your own underbust corset, as those are easiest for beginners.

The panel would cover the basics, such as supplies, where to get them, how to make a pattern, fabric selection, boning, busks etc.

My Costume For Tsukino-Con

The outfit is finally finished! I know the hat looks rather funny perched on top of the dress form, but it gives an idea how it will go with the costume. I'm thinking of putting some tulle the same colour as the feather around the brim to soften the look.
