Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before you begin, ensure you have a clear workspace and a sharp pair of fabric shears. Since this is a structured garment, ensure your sewing machine is calibrated for heavier layers, as you will likely be stitching through multiple layers of fabric and interfacing. To maintain the longevity of your finished corset, avoid machine washing. Always opt for professional dry cleaning or spot cleaning to preserve the integrity of the boning and internal structure. When storing, keep the corset flat or on a padded hanger to prevent warping or creasing.
