ABSTRACT

Use the diagram as a guide when drawing in your bone channels; these are 0.7cm wide with bones that are 0.5cm wide. If you wish you can use a 1cm wide bone channel with a 0.7cm wide bone. At the centre back there is a central eyelet channel that is 1.3cm wide on both sides for lacing up the corset. The bone channels on each seam are sewn on the right side of the corset, and a decorative channel is sewn over the trimmed seam; this is optional. A simpler alternative is to sew a fell seam to the right of each seam and use this as a bone channel. The busk channel at the centre front is 1.3cm wide on each side.
