FULL COURSE FROM START TO FINISH

Corset With A Front Busk (for Teens)

Classic Structure, Clean Front Closure

A corset with a busk is a timeless foundation in bridal, eveningwear, and historical-inspired fashion.
But sewing a corset with a front closure requires far more precision than a lace-up design — even a small misalignment can ruin the entire look.

This course teaches you how to sew a corset with a busk correctly and professionally, so the front sits perfectly straight, the structure remains stable, and the corset feels comfortable and secure on the body. You'll learn how to customize a standard corset pattern to make it suitable for a teenage girl. Perfect solution for proms, celebrations, costume parties and other special events.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Install a busk accurately and symmetrically

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 was so thrilled to find your wonderful UTube videos on Luneville/Tambour work. The course of videos takes a beginner through everything you need to get started and learn how to use the hook and master the stitch, attach pearls etc. Once you get the sequence and rythym going it is so satisfying and gives learners the confidence to learn more. You have a wonderful array of videos and classes to encourage those interested in developing Higher levels of expertise in couture eewinv and haute couture embroidery.
