Sewing A Boned Bodice | Part 1

In this 2 part series you can see me sew a boned bodice with invisible boning channels from start to finish. Throughout the years that I have been making costumes, I have tried many different techniques to make bodices and corsets. This is kind of a mix of all of the techniques I liked and that I use all the time now. I am in no way saying this is the best or only way to make these bodices, but I just wanted to share the way I make them. If you have any suggestions for techniques to try or want to share how you make your boned bodices, definitely leave a comment, I'd love to try them as well! I put time stamps in the video so you can skip ahead or go back to certain parts and find them easier. Also, sorry if the audio is not the best sometimes, I don't have a fancy camera or fancy mic.

I hope these videos are helpful to you. If you have any questioins, you can leave a comment or DM me on Instagram :). Thanks for taking the time to watch these!

I run my own costuming business and am open for commissions! If you're interested in commissioning me, you can check out my website, etsy store and social media to see more of my work and you can email or DM me :)

• Materials needed •
Fashion fabric +/- 1.5 meters
Cotton Twill 2 meters
Lining 1 meter
Fabric for piping. I usually use satin. +/- 1 meter
Interfacing 1 meter
Spiral steel boning depends on how many channels there are. I usually need about 8 meters
Flat steel boning +/- 2 meters
Plastic boning +/- 1 meter
Cord for piping. Lenght depends on how much you need to finish. I'd say about 2-3 meters is safe.
