FULL COURSE FROM START TO FINISH
Sculptural Corset
Create Sculptural, Designer Corsets with Confidence
This corset is more than a garment — it is wearable sculpture.
In this masterclass, you will learn how to design and sew a corset that blends structure, aesthetics, and avant-garde design using professional techniques for bridal, eveningwear, editorial fashion, costume design, and couture.
A key focus is the sculptural edge technique — a versatile method that extends far beyond corsetry and can be applied to decorate and elevate a wide range of garments, from bodices and dresses to sleeves and statement details.
From measurements and pattern drafting to construction and couture-level finishing, this course guides you through every step of the process.
