The Finished Piece
As part of Click; Connect; Curate; Create we commissioned Historical Costume researcher and lecturer, Hannah Wroe to create twelve different corsets based on the original 1890s corset pattern that is included in the corset box currently on sale.
These pictures show the first corset of twelve created by Hannah and shows what the finished product should look like if you follow the ‘How-to’ guide, which you can download here. The How-to guide provides step-by-step guidance on how to make your own Symington corset using the 1890s Symington corset pattern
Each month we will show you more corsets that have been created using the 1890s corset pattern as the basis along with the inspiration behind their creation.
If you make your own Symington corset based on this pattern or the others that are available on Image Leicestershire, do share your progress with us!
