My the only base was a very thick cardboard tube (110 cm in length and 6 cm in diameter), I still didn't cut the excess off and it could be seen as a high neck
I was shaping it looking at historic corsets and pictures and trying to get it right, like this:

Super cool! What did you use as the form?

Hi everyone!
As I'm a man my figure doesn't fit for Vistorian or Edwardian corsets with thier dramatic shapes.
I couldn't find a girl or woman among my friends who would satisfy my 'ideal corset figure'.
So I desided to spend my time, efforts and some glue
And here she is - My Edwardian Lady
She looks lil' big but she has normal size:
Bust 89 (35'), Waist 56 (22'), (lower) Hips 98 (38.5')
Of course it's not perfect but she looks I wanted it to
Everyone who wants historic dress form but cannot afford it or cannot find needed shape you can do it yourself!


My mom even says now - why do you need all these corsets when you can earn making corset forms

That's a lovely form. How are you liking it? Is it a display form only or can you pin into it?

I have just purchased a gorgeous historical shaped mannequin from Roxy Displays.

They state they do not sell the mannequin alone, that is not true. I called Nina and asked for just the mannequin without the stand. As it is for table display. Its so cheap and shipping was only $14 to NYC. Good luck designers

When I needed a curvier display model I used this pattern from Atelier Sylphe.

Its perfect for curvy shaping and the fabric is of your choosing.
