Well, I got annoyed when the cheap coret started to let loose yesterday so I decided to look into replacing it. In the procedss, I found some great info on corset making and a supplies for the parts to do it. I am going to attempt to make my own corset. Last night I took the measurements and made the pattern for a 10 panel under bust hourglass corset that should get me 4" reduction... I'm going to make it 3 layers which should be much stronger than this flimsy satin corset. I think we have some brocade fabric downstairs for the outer layer, maybe even some purple left over from my wedding garb. I'll probably buy some denim for the inner layer since this is where most of the strength will come from. I have to dig through the scraps in the basement and see what we have. I'll make a.mock up out of scraps to see if my pattern is good first. This should prove to be a fun project.
My wife looks at me a litte funny when she sees me put the corset on in the morning for work. I just love the feel of it. If mine turns out good I will probably wear it almost daily.

Several of my friends swear by sleeping in their corsets, uncomfortable yes, but they say it helps to give their rib cage that natural shape. I myself find them too uncomfortable but they do makea radical difference in shape and look so much better than those silly pads for hips. At any rate a corset is a necessity and the very least every TG woman should at least own one. Now making your own sounded really complicated and foolish at first, but then I thought on it some more and perhaps it would not be that bad. At any rate good luck I will be curious to see how it goes. Ciao for now
