Subject: Clothes
Hi all,

 Does anyone know some seamstress/corsetmaker who mainly makes clothes to go over the corsetted body? I know some corsetmakers offers a skirt but often you also have to buy a corset with the skirt. I only want clothes made from my own measurements and no corset.

Subject: seamstress for corseted body
Hi annalai,
I could offer you a try on clothes projects.
But first i must told a little
About my job :
i do handmade regulars clothes patterns, from the stylist draw, using 3 industrials clothes bases(foundations) bust/skirt and trousers, made with europeans measurements charts. then i digitalize the pattern onto a proffessional computer program called "gerber" and do all rectifications needed and graduate all asked sizes. i also used to work many years on a firm to sew any kind of prototypes women clothes for customer photos on their catalogues ....
about my hobby:
i still sew and by the way do patterns and mannequins as i loved to create many differents clothes projects for theatre/open air show/private peoples...
I'm also really into corsets as i love that!! you could see few released on this college, i could also show you more examples of my works, simply need your mail adress through mine: spiggymr7(at)free(dot)fr

I'm sure the distance wasn't really a problem as far as i get scrupulous measurements chart from my customer. i could do the 3 customs bases matrix to make any clothes patterns, it's my every day job.

so pearhaps we could go on for a first try. If your body is too unusual i could do a custom mannequin to get refine stuff or if we go on a long cooperation...
Be sure in any way you turn your rechearch, i wish you all the best.

Joëlle

Hi Joëlle,

Ohhh! I love the bolero jacket with the ruffles.
The corset picture: I do like the style and decoration of this corset type. Any particular reason you made so many corsets of the same design?

Hi Joëlle,

I just saw your answer and it sounds intresting. Right now I am packing to go away on a small trip so I will get back to you when I have more time. I have too much things to do right now but still I steal a minute or two to look quickly in the groups and this place but too little time to respond better.

I do like the bolero also.
Bye for now.

Ooooh, oooh, oooh!  Where did you get the Gerber software from? I have only found websites who show that they use the software, not the source.

I would love to be able to design my clothing on the comptuer, I think it would give me the push to start making again :)

Annalai:

There's a seamstress based in Munich who makes clothing (maibly skirts) for corseted people. She has only worked with local clients so far but I can contact her if you want me to.


Joëlle:

that bolero jacket is to die for, I'm a sucker for puff sleeves *g*

That shop the corsets are going to doesn't happen to be in Germany, does it? Just asking because a friend of mine told me that you two were launching a little project.

PS: Please PM me about the photos... which mail addy shall I send them to?

Pity about the software, I am about to start making a padded tightly fitting arming jacket called a gambeson, it would have been nice to get it onto my PC to visualise it better. Businesses always get the best toys :(

I love the second corset. I think that even I could wear something as pretty as that and get away with it! :rolleyes:

No one would be looking at me though, just the corset, it is that gorgeous :-D

I keep looking at it...
