Pregnancy Corset Pattern [PREORDER]
Patterns, School Shop[PRE-ORDER: Files will be emailed on or before Dec 31st, 2022]$ 39The Vanyanís Pregnancy Corset Pattern is a stunning piece of corset engineering. Inspired by historical corsets, this pattern was designed and developed during the designers' own pregnancy (pictured). A pregnancy corset does not constrict the waist - it provides pain-relieving support to the belly, bust, back and hips. Elastic panels add flexibility and the adjustable side and back lacing expand as the pregnancy progresses. The lacing allows for a size increase of up to 10" making it the perfect solution to provide comfortable support to a growing pregnant body.
Available in one size (see the tabs below for sizing notes). Laced closed, it fits: Bust: 42", Waist: 32", High Hips: 39" (expands up to 10").
This digital pattern is beautifully designed and includes the following:
- Version 'A' is a 'flat layout' (showing the detailed stitching and bone placement [and types]).
- Version 'B' is a simple 'working' pattern that can easily be adjusted to your size.
- Version 'C' shows the seam allowance and grainline placement.
- A pattern for a belly support band (for use in the third trimester)
- Lacing instructions for the back and sides

Protected: Ruby Underbust Corset Pattern
Patterns, School Shop$ 24The Vanyanís Cincher Corset Pattern features a pointed front, two framing points at the back and a dramatic silhouette. This corset pattern has seven panels (per side) and is patterned to lace up closed on the wearers body (if you prefer a 2" lacing gap, simply select one size smaller). It is a shorter style of corset and allows the wearer lots of mobility.
Initially developed for Vanyanís RTW Corsets, then later used in our classes, this pattern comes with three options for a front busk placket (and accompanying cutting guide) so you can use different methods for your unique creations.
The pattern has been designed to be as user friendly as possible. Seam allowances are clearly marked on all panels as well as a helpful letter system across of the top of the panel pieces (to help you sew the panels together correctly). We recommend sewing a toile (mock-up) to check and adjust the fit, before commencing your final project.
Available in corset sizes 18" to 44" it can fit natural waists of 20" to 50". To work out which size you'll need, please refer to the size chart located in the tabs below. This pattern is sold in "packs" of three sizes and comes with corset lacing instructions. Sewing instructions are not included. Royal Black has an excellent sew-a-long on her Patreon, which we highly recommend. This pattern is licensed for personal use only (please refer to the tabs below for full terms of use).
Once purchased, the files will be immediately emailed to you as a PDF in A4 format, so you can print it out and get started with your waist cincher straight away. Tip: make sure you print the file at "100%", not "shrink to fit". There is a printed scale measurement on each page so you can check that it has printed correctly.

Jewellery$ 330 – $ 365We put this set together for those that desire the ultimate package for our corset themed jewellery. With the delightful pendant and earrings you can wear part of a corset every day. The complete set is your very own token to symbolize your love of corsets that you can wear anytime, in any occasion whether to work or a special event. Because they are so sleek and understated, they are suitable for any occasion. The unique pendants (featured in the necklace and earrings) are made with our original Engraved Corset Busk loops, that have been handcrafted in Melbourne and transformed into the elegant jewellery you see here. Available in "silver" or "gold" (see tabs below for further information).
The loops have been expertly engraved with a two-tone antique black laurel design (reminiscent of Victorian corset details) and then transformed into a pendant (complete with sterling silver or 9ct yellow gold loop) and earrings (with solid sterling silver or 9ct yellow gold hooks hooks) by a talented jeweller. The silver pendant hangs on a delicate 50cm ‘Figaro’ sterling silver chain that adds detail, without detracting from the pendant. (Please note: the gold set does NOT include a chain). Whether you wear them as a whole set, or style them with jewellery you already have – the choice is yours with these unique, handmade pieces of luxury.
We wear our set everyday and several people have asked if the pendants are love lockets, as the cut out shape is similar to a keyhole. Isn't that lovely? Our customer Emmelie said (on receiving her necklace) "I love how it must look quite mysterious to a non-corset wearer: it's obviously a very deliberate, even utilitarian shape - but what of?! I can't wait to be asked about it."

Wellington Corset Pattern Making: The Tape Method [Date: TBC]
Classes, School Shop$ 695Corset Pattern Making: The Tape Method is the perfect introduction to making corset patterns for those that may not have prior experience in flat pattern drafting or the time to invest in learning complex pattern drafting methods. In this course you will learn how to make a perfectly fitting "basic" corset pattern using the 'Tape Method'. Instead of taking extensive body measurements we will tape the body and develop the pattern in 3D before transferring it to paper (2D). After transferring it you'll learn some flat patterning skills to develop the pattern into a beautiful corset shape.
The methods taught in this course are very 'hands on' and there is little-to-no math's involved at all. If traditional pattern drafting feels too complicated, too structured, or you just want to use your hands to create, then the methods taught in this course are for you. This approach will help you learn what different figures look like in pattern form without the stress of wondering if you're getting it right or not. If you will be making a pattern for a body shape you've never patterned for before then these skills will help you level up quickly.
It's always helpful to learn more than one way to achieve something - it gives you the tools to pick and choose the best approach (for you) for any project. The pattern drafting skills you learn in this course can be applied to bridal bodices, couture gowns and corsets.
The focus of this class is to learn how to create an overbust corset pattern using the 'Tape Method' and then fit it perfectly. During the class you will learn how to make an overbust corset toile (mock-up) to test your pattern. We'll share all our best corset fitting secrets with you and show you how and where to apply changes to your toile. After the fitting, you'll learn how to accurately transfer those changes to your pattern. At the end of this pattern drafting course you'll have a personalized corset pattern to keep and the confidence and knowledge of how to fit and design more patterns independently.
