The inspiration for this corset came while I was having lesson, I don't know how... I just imagined it!

Then when I got home I immediately sketched it down on a paper sheet, I liked it right away!

The following days I went about Milan after school to find out a shop which had a quiet nice fabric, at the beginning I didn't thought to realize the corset with silk, I just thought I had to find a nice cotton fabric... but when I saw the Mikado silk I knew it must have been the right one.

I started draping the pattern on the mannequin, then once I got a satisfying result I industrialized the pattern to start sewing it during the week.

I have an industrial sewing machine, it isn't still easy for me to use it, but time after time i can look back to my previous works and say "I'm improving". I first sewed the lining, then the outer fabric, putting a black corded stripe between the pieces. Once I had the outside and the inside of my corset sewn, I started putting them together. I put the busk in place sewing it with a zipper foot, after I fixed the waist tape to not make the materials stretch. I measured the bones and placed them inside the boning channels.

When the work was nearly done I decided to put a lace at the bottom edge of the corset, and then I closed the entire work with a black silk tape.

The corset took fifteen hours of work, for tailoring, plus two hours for pattern making.
