Corsetry Course

[Lady Rebecca]

Anyone know anything about this? I saw an ad for it on my facebook, and it caught my eye.

I haven't seen it before, so I know nothing about it. I personally, being poor, would not spend $29 for her collection of patterns; I've learned a TON from doing the corset generator for 16th c corsets, plus the Truly Victorian line... but if I had extra disposal income, I would order her stuff just to see.  I guess I don't place much faith in it because she doesn't seem to be one of us, and her website is so sales oriented... most historical costumers tend to be so not like that.  And I don't see any back up for the historical side, which is my main interest.... not just the outcome. If you do buy this, I'd be super curious to hear what you think of it!

Yes, I have worked with her stuff and have worked with her specifically, she has a hands on Sundays for $20.00, I would recommend her information but not for Elizabethan PoB but for Victorians.

Cilean, thank you for your insight! I struggle with resizing and getting that "perfect fit". Do you feel that it would be particularly helpful for construction and personalization?

[Taffy Saltwater]

That's incredibly cheap.  There's a local woman who's been doing a two-day weekend corset workshop for $500.00.  And they're sold out!

This looks interesting. I'd be curious to hear more too if you do purchase this, Rebecca.

Cilean, I'm curious why you say you wouldn't reccomend this for Elizabethan?

[Lady Rebecca]

Anna, it looked like, from the overview on the site, that she doesn't cover Elizabethan in her course. It seems to be pretty much 18th c styles and Victorian.

If I purchase it, it won't be at least until the end of the month, but I'll definitely consider it.
