    You loved the first post about  @emilykatevalchiria 's wedding gown so much, so here's another post to see more of her gown ♥️

Emily Kate and Jason's wedding was a few years ago now, and it was the most magical autumn day, as you can see!

Emily Kate's gown was made out of sumptuous burgundy velvet, with custom dyed lace at the neckline. A #VanyanisNadjaCorset provided support underneath the gown. 

🍁Photographer: @jakubfabijanski
🍁Venue: @poetslane
🍁Jason's Suit: @prinzicollections
🍁Florist: @flowersbyfiona
🍁Emily Kate's Wedding Gown: @vanyanis (with long-distance fittings assisted by @honeybyerika and lace custom dyed by @mariafrench_creative )

    Same body, two corsets. 
Left: Amazon corset. Right: Vanyanís 'Aeryn' corset.

❓️Have you ever bought a corset expecting the waist on the right, but received the waist on the left?❓️

Most mass-made, "fashion" corsets are made from panels of fabric that are cut in a straight, rectangular shape. It's easier (and quicker) to sew straight seams, which is partly why this type of corset is so cheap (the real culprit for the low price is labour exploitation, but that's a topic for another day). 

If you want a defined waist, then the best option is a corset made from a pattern that is designed to shape your waistline. There isn't any one pattern or brand I can recommend, as the best pattern for you is one that is tailored to fit your unique body. 

The second best option is a corset with horizontal AND vertical measurements that closely match your body's measurements. When considering if a corset (or corset pattern) is right for you, make sure there's a size chart that lists the measurements you need so you can compare. Simply basing your corset size off of your waist measurement isn't enough, and it's unlikely that you'll achieve the shape you want.

If you'd like to have a corset that shapes your figure like the 'Aeryn' corset does, then you're welcome to try the digital corset pattern I've developed (but don't skip making a mock-up!). This pattern is available on its own, or included in my comprehensive online Corset Making for Beginners course 😊

    When @emilykatevalchiria asked me to make her wedding gown, even though I was on maternity leave at the time, I couldn't say no. It was an honor to be trusted with such an important task by my friend of over 30 years. Emily Kate and Jason's wedding was a few years ago now, and it was the most magical autumn day, as you can see!

Emily Kate's gown was made out of sumptuous burgundy velvet, with custom dyed lace at the neckline. A #VanyanisNadjaCorset provided support underneath the gown. 

It remains one of my favorite designs and creations, and I love how it is so very *her*.

    Are you passionate about sewing and interested in making your own corsets? Are you nervous about spending money on the wrong thing? Are you not sure where to begin? Have the tools you’ve tried broken or not given you the results you were expecting? 

Join me for an engaging and informative FREE live workshop that will provide you with a comprehensive look at the tools required for corset making. It can be so hard to work out what is the “right” thing to buy. When I started out, I wasted so much money on the wrong tools, and I don’t want that to be your experience too - that’s why I’m running this free workshop on “Tools for Corset Making”!

When: Sunday 2nd March 2025
11am NZDT (Wellington, NZ) / 9am AEDT (Melbourne, AU)
For those in different time zones, that’s: 
Saturday 1st March 2025
2pm PDT (Los Angeles, USA)
5pm EDT (New York, USA)
10pm BST (London, UK)

Where: Zoom (register via the link in my profile to get the link to join).

Whether you're a beginner or already have some experience, this workshop is designed to equip you with the knowledge you need to confidently build your corset making tool kit, so you don’t waste your money on tools that don’t work or end up making corset making tasks harder!

And no, none of tools I'll be showing you are sponsored or affiliated in any way. It's a peep inside my own tool kit to look at all my own personal favourite tools.

Don't miss this opportunity to learn all about corset making tools. Register via our profile link to secure your spot in this FREE Live Workshop!
