This past December I decided to join Bluprint's streaming service. I had previously purchased a few Craftsy classes, and the end of the year deals were tempting enough for me to subscribe for a year. As a result, I stumbled upon Alison Smith's corset making class. The techniques shown were practical and valuable, and I considered purchasing the pattern used in the class. However, I couldn't see myself ever wearing it, as I never really wear shapewear. So, in summation, I wanted to challenge myself and make a corset, but I didn't want to invest hours of time and effort into a typical corset.
The release of Butterick 6643 coincided perfectly with this dilemma. It was a less "serious" corset that I could potentially see myself wearing. So, today's post will be about my experience trying out this pattern. Be forewarned, however, because this project is a little bit of a fail.
