Drafting & Fitting Victorian Corset Mockups on an Asymmetrical Figure [Corsetmaking Part 1]

I’m sorry this is SO LONG but here are some time stamps to assuage your impatience:
04:26 - Pattern testing
09:17 - Mockup #1: the 1894 pattern
29:13 - Mockup #2: the modern draft
38:57 - Mockup #3: the historical solution

*PLEASE NOTE that this is NOT intended as a resource for medical corsetry or any sort of medical treatment. The goal of this video is to find a way to recreate proper historical shape on an asymmetrical figure for *costume purposes* and is not meant to be worn regularly.
