Frank's Corset Pattern

This is version 1.0 because it is my first attempt at sharing a pattern. My drafting skills are a little rough around the edges, and I downright stink at trying to write out directions. You'll need a little bit of sewing know-how (how to use bias tape, and how to install a zipper). All seam allowances given are ½". The top edge is designed to be left raw to expose the lining, and I would just stay-stitch that. The center front and bottom edges should be edged with double-fold bias tape. Boning channels can be created in any seam by stitching the seam allowance down and inside the center front channel. You can treat the fabric and lining as one - you can even cut them out together. You will of course, need to cut 2 of every piece. I strongly recommend making a mock-up out of some scrap fabric so you can work out any adjustments or alterations.

For about $4 you can submit your .pdf online to Kinko's to be printed full size. If you encounter any errors, or have any thoughts on how I can improve this design please feel free to contact me. Eventually I would like to make more of my patterns available and offer more sizes.


I only have these 2 sizes, but a 42 would be easy for a seamstress to size up from the size 40.
