'Every Prince has got to have his Swan...'


My final piece for the corset project! And I love it!

Made purposefully not to be worn but to be mounted, as if it was part of a genuine ballet costume put on display.

I decided to combine various aspects of the two samples I blogged about on a previous post. I used the embellisher to attach a fine white silk to a calico base which gave a beautiful feminine, delicate look to it. I then used the straight stitch on the sewing machine to mark out various lines, trapping threads between the calico/silk and a third layer of fabric.

I then followed the rest of the process before constructing the final corset and mounting it.
