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 :lol:

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:
