How to Make Your Own Corsets


   In our day and age the internet can help you with a plethora of information on how to make our own sexy lingerie. You can learn in seconds how to build a high quality collection of sexy corsets but you need to have some form of basic training, either through a guide or through a video lecture.

Should I buy a guide?

   Many ladies ask me if they should buy some of those online ”make your own corset” guides. Of course that these guides are not free but they can provide you with a lot of valuable information on how to build quality fashion items such as corsets or even bustiers.

   Without the professional information provided to me by the guide I would of wasted a lot more time figuring out how to make my own corset, this is why I advise all young women to invest in some good quality training materials, you will eventually save money in the long run and you will have more creative time at your disposal.

What fabrics should I choose?

   Choosing the right fabric is essential if you want to make your own sexy lingerie not only sexy but also comfy, because comfort is of prime importance when it comes to something as apparently restrictive as corsets, I base my argument on the fact that most corsects restrict your natural body movement because of bad material, but you have the chance to change things for the better by choosing the right fabric.

   The ideal fabric to use is a combination of materials called cotton-poly, this unique blend is highly appreciated in the fashion industry, it is not only durable but it also looks extremely good. Visit website which provide best quality and comfortable products.

   Polyester is so versatile, there is even a silk alternative to polyester, it is called silk polyester and can be ideal for use as an exterior coating for your corset.

The right fit

   As I mentioned earlier in my articles, the right size and fit are of crucial importance if you want to have a comfy corset.

   One of the first steps in manufacturing your own corset is to measure your body so that you can have the right shape and proper fit on your future corsier.

   There are a variety of tools available for this, besides the scrissors the best friends of a good fashion designer include the dress form and the sew true.

   Try to use the same color for your sew lining or else your corset might turn out to look ridiculous and try to use special pressing tools like a Tailor’s Ham.

The color

   Choosing the right color is of prime importance, color can set the tone of your personality so if you plan to build a collection of corsets for those romantic situations try to choose the color red or pink.

   These colors have a strong tradition and are associated with femininity all over the world, red is a hot color, it is so hot that it was used by the early designers of the babydoll collection.

  You might of course try other colors like a light blue, this is ideal for those conservative situations like the prom night or a first time romantic dinner.

A Small Guide to Women's Undergarments


In this article you will learn about the basics of women's undergarments, I am going to start with a small history of the most infamous women's lingerie, dating back to the Victorian era.

A small history of women's lingerie

   I could say that the evolution of women's lingerie has evolved on the same growth path of the industrial revolution. However, most innovations were done during the late Victorian era, I will thereby introduce you to the undergarments of those times.

   Most undergarments that were designed during the Victorian era were centered around that hourglass figure that dominated fashion up until our modern era, this model was also adopted by the babydoll garment desginers.


  
While many fashion designers ask how to get that hourglass shape fit properly, the answer is simple, you have to wear even more hourglass designer lingerie from a very young age.

   While this concept may seem outdated during in our modern times, during those times it was the only alternative, you literally had to torture your body in order to look good.

   The young woman had to start by wearng a very tight corset, they did so when they were only 3 or 4 years old and these garments were worn because literally, you had to grow into that hourglass shape.
   Those corsets needed other items to support the fashion so you had all kind of bustiers, chemises and imagine that all those clothes had about 20 pounds in total, so it was quite a weight to move around.

   Starting from the 1920's corsets became a little loose and during the 1950's that famous babydoll design was a bold statement of sexy fashion.

1970's corset designs

   The corset of the 1970's did not change much, there were some minor modifications at the total length, so you had an even smaller corset than the 1950's models.

   The biggest changes were done to the fabric and color, corests now became available in a wide range of colors and  innovations in fabric meant that new materials made corsets a lot cheaper.


Our modern era  undergarments

   Because of recent developments and breakthroughs in fabric manufacturing, the modern era corsets and bustiers are cheaper than ever, what was considered to be an upper class fashion item during the Victorian era, is now a day to day garment worn by thousands of young women from all over the world.

  
Important discoveries in nanotechnology mean that fabrics are a lot more durable, thus saving you money in the long run, this is why you should always invest in good quality garments.

    A good quality corset should include a good quality waist tape, at least 4 loops for extra grippines and some kind of strength layer.

   When choosing to buy a corset, check out if it has these features, upper class corsets include a good quality material, that is some nanotech fabric that is immune to stains and adapts to your proper body shape quite easily without beeing too much of a pain.

   Now that you know the basics of a good quality corset, I invite you to browse our online 5starslingerie site, you will surely find the corset of your dreams.
