FULL COURSE FROM START TO FINISH
Corset Pattern Making.
Part 1: Corsets with 2 and 4 curves.
Pattern Alteration Calculation Software Included
Learn how to draft custom corset patterns from scratch for any size, neckline, and bust type using a professional calculation method. This course teaches you to move beyond fixed templates and begin thinking like a true pattern maker, with full control over shaping, balance, and fit.
You will master two essential corset foundations:
Corsets with 2 curves (simplified classic construction)
Corsets with 4 curves (structured shaping with advanced support)
Both systems are used in couture dressmaking and allow you to create perfectly fitted corsets for a wide range of styles — from high necklines to deep décolleté designs.
