Style analysis: short corset with front buttoning, topstitching, petal shaped cups and 4 panels (2 on front and 2 on back). It's a cool variation of a simple corset top, perfect with high waisted trousers or skirts and layered under a jacket or chunky cardigan.
Fabric: this version is in denim but other fabrics will work too, as long as they are enough structured or have interfacing. We suggest woven, non stretch fabrics.
Draw your contoured block (bodice with zero wearing ease and darts).
Trace front and back separate, highlight underbust line and but line on front.
A full explanation on drafting made to measure contoured blocks, corsets and cups is included in our basic blocks course/module 2.
Work on back first:
Cut through the lines.
Close dart if you want back to be made of a single piece, or keep the two pieces separate if you like the vertical seam.
I couldn’t find the back photo of this corset so both the options are possible, as well as an elasticated/smocked back that would make fitting easier.
