  • Cut & Assemble with Accuracy
    Cut lace and mesh together without distortion.

    Prepare and baste lace to mesh to avoid shifting during sewing.

  • Build Supportive Cups
    Construct neoprene/foam cups reinforced with lace and lining.

    Press and mould cups to achieve smooth, rounded shapes.

  • Sew & Finish the Corset
    Insert tunnels and bone casings for both metal and plastic bones.
    Secure cups seamlessly into the corset body.
    Attach hook-and-eye tape, finish edges with decorative elastic, and achieve a professional inside-out finish.

Absolutely love this sewing academy! I signed up for a 1-year subscription two years ago and loved it so much that I just upgraded to lifetime access. The lessons are super clear, the techniques and patterns actually work (no frustration with trial and error!), and I’ve seen real improvement in my sewing from day one. What really makes it special is the community—so helpful and supportive. It’s honestly been the biggest boost to my skills. If you're into dressmaking or want to get better at sewing, this course is 100% worth it!

I was delighted with my first class at Dressmaking Academy. I very much appreciated Tatiana's expertise, and found the corset direction and explanation easy to follow. I feel I am on my way to proficiency and professionalism! My one challenge was compiling the right materials. I economized, as it was my first lesson. I feel the corset would have come out better had I used exact materials. Lesson learned.

I made the bustier using the free pattern, smallest size. Making it was occasionally challenging because I was using materials that were not familiar to me, and I had no experience sewing lingerie or anything similar, yet I was able to figure it out. The bustier is a beautiful garment, but I am too modest to wear such sheer clothing.
