MasterCenedra Registered: Apr '05	Date Posted: 1/14 1:28am Subject: RE: The Black Corset Piece
	Wow I haven't been here is ages lol I have just acquired a pattern from last_chael, that could be used for this costume without much altering, so it is looking like I might try my hand at it in the near future I went in to my local Spotlight on Monday to find some fabric for a custom job I am doing, and I found a Black lace that would work well...not exact, more of a flower-based one, but still for a first version it will work Its going to be fun, might even start it straight after I have finished this Custom Costume...hmmm MC (Jackie) -----signature----- http://www.thecostuminggeek.net World Famous in New Zealand Addicted to Kit Kat Mint Chocolate

	BQ your work has inspired and helped me. You do good work kiddo. Your tireless efforts and those of the others here have been my inspiration and jumping off point for jumping into this project. http://s113.photobucket.com/albums/n208/ladyghst915/Fireside%202009/ I posted more pix of progress in my photobucket. I finished the corset and did a little display of how things are coming together. I only wish I was as slim as my commissioner because it is so pretty, it takes my breath away. I am having her over either this weekend or next for a fitting. My maniquin is much taller than my 5'3" patron, but has a very similar figure. Also the maniquin torso is rigid so the corset does not cinch the body as nicely as it will on the young lady who will be wearing this. I also think the shorter skirt is more practical for wearing at conventions with all the clods who like to step on our "tails". skirt 1 longer with fabric overskirt draped for effect.

	I finished the new corset! My last one closed in the front with a row of hook and eyes - so annoying to do them all up. My new one closes with a heavy duty zipper Made from pleather with a satin lining. Boned with plastic boning on each seam. I learned from my last one that the hip area is way to wide and it would flare off my hips funny, so I took it in to fit me better. The zipper is great, it's so easy to put on now http://imageevent.com/benaequee/costumes/completed/blackcorsetdress -----signature----- ObiWill and BenaeQuee Happily Married Geeks since May 28, 2006 - Have you tried Hoop Dancing? www.hoopnotica.com

	It looks great! I also think it's a very smart solution to have the zipper under the tabard so that it's invisible. -----signature----- "That is the beauty of grand opera; you can do anything...as long as you sing it" Anna Russell

	Looks Great!! High Five! I am making MV:SS today, so while I am making her Bustline Corset, I will cut out the start of Padme's Corset :D I have some Red and Black Armwarmers that look like they are made the same way, apart from the buttoning...I think I might take them apart and make a pattern...

	Thanks Can't wait to see you version. What pattern are you using? I used the vogue #2810 with a few modifications to fit me better - I've used this pattern a few times and have finally gotten used to it The gauntlets were the easiest part of this costume lol -----signature----- ObiWill and BenaeQuee Happily Married Geeks since May 28, 2006 - Have you tried Hoop Dancing? www.hoopnotica.com

Jack It was a piece of cake I find that seperating zips are easier than the invible ones. Just keep the zip closed while sewing so they match up perfectly when done. My corset had the lining layer and the pleather layer, I folded in the raw edges and sandwhiched the zip in the middle of them, this is easier with fabric because you can iron the folded edges flat first. With the pleather, I had to be careful not to shift it while sewing (and I put a layer of tissue paper between the presser foot and fabric so it wouldn't' stick while sewing). My zipper was actually 18" long (it was the shortest they had) so I had to shorten it. What I did was sew it all in place and then pull the zip head down towards the bottom out of the way. I cut off the excess at the top and then used the hook park of a hook/eye to act as the stopper (so the head won't come off when I do it up). I opened up the hook a bit, and then squeezed it shut tightly with pliers on each top edge of the zipper (position it between the top two teeth to keep it in place). This worked like a charm and let me have a custom sized zipper -----signature----- ObiWill and BenaeQuee Happily Married Geeks since May 28, 2006 - Have you tried Hoop Dancing? www.hoopnotica.com

	So... when I bought my Mara jumpsuit fabric (end of 06 start of 07) I also intended to make a few other things from this large piece of dead dino One of which was the Fireside Corset gown. I did find some fabric at the time but passed it on (and it will be made into something, won't it??? I have an industrial overlocker and it likes finicky fabrics) but recently found some more! And so I bought it. And so I have begun my fireside corset gown too After two years of trying to find a suitable fabric again I swear I've looked every time I go to the fabric store, regardless of what I was supposed to be looking for. [image=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v609/glitte rsweet/costume/starwars/padmecorsetskirt2.jpg] I've got the petticoat nicely shaped now and so the next task is to piece my satin and whip that under the overlocker as well as the over layer I have started to work on the necklace and found the headband yesterday I gave away my tulle so I may have to buy some more, I'll be sewing it between the layers of cotton so I don't get scratched by it I've done this before and it works very well. I have enough left over to make a matching bodice so I am. This dress is doing double duty -----signature----- http://costumes.glittersweet.com/index.htm Truth! Freedom! Justice!
