The Idea and Inspiration: The pattern for this corset was based on an extent corset from a private collection in California. The corset is a fairly comfortable, flexible, generic style which works well for the entire second half of the 19th century. I love the corset pattern, and have made dozens of corsets based on it. I wanted to make one specifically for me though, using my favourite colours and fabrics, and thus the nougat corset was born. Fabric and Materials: Nougat pink dupion silk (not historical, but I love it anyway) lined in paisley patterned quilting cotton. Cotton coutil support fabric, spiral and spring steel boning, metal eyelets. Bound with soft cotton twill. Trimmed in vintage ecru lace.
