Paper corset making

Paper corset making day! Today, we mainly focused on how to construct a corset with paper before making with an actual fabric just to comprehend how the construction, cutting etc works.

It was all about having fun, enjoying the process which was very interesting approach. 

I have a feeling that I might used a corset for my further project :))

My first paper corset:) I have reduced 1cm for each waist line which is a brave thing to do haha

I just wanted to have fun with it while I have time to "enjoy" the process. Going through only the safe path won't lead to anything! :)

2nd corset pattern - manipulating the lines-whichever I wanted to look.

Result!
