When choosing a corset pattern, it's important to note that the pattern measurements listed here are the actual measurements of the corset. You should generally choose a pattern with a corset waist measurement 4-6 inches smaller than your natural waist measurement. Bust cups (measured horizontally across the breast): Small A cup: 9 inches Medium B cup: 9.25 inches Large C cup: 9.5 inches Extra Large D cup: 9.75 inches XXL DD cups: 10 inches Please note, the vertical measurement of the bust cups is 6 inches. You may need to adjust for your desired coverage during the mockup phase of your corset creation. Remember, every body is unique, so don't expect perfection. Underbust and hip measurements: The underbust measurement is taken 5 inches above the waistline, and is 7 inches more than the waist measurement. For example, if you have a 24.5 inch waist measurement, your underbust measurement will be 31.5 inches (24.5 inches + 7 inches). The hips will be measured 6 inches below the waistline and will be 10 inches more than the waist measurement. The table below shows the underbust, waist, and hip measurements for different sizes: Underbust Waist Hips 31.5 inches 24.5 inches 34.5 inches 33.5 inches 28.5 inches 36.5 inches 35.5 inches 32.5 inches 38.5 inches 37.5 inches 38.5 inches 40.5 inches 39.5 inches 42.5 inches 42.5 inches Printing the PDF Pattern: This corset pattern is great for adding a touch of vintage glamour to your wardrobe or creating the perfect foundation for a costume.

To ensure that you're printing the right size pattern, measure the 2-inch by 2-inch test square. This is where you should do your troubleshooting so you don't print out the wrong size pages. When it comes to corset-making tips, we recommend using pre-cut and capped 1/4" (6mm) spiral steel boning, especially at the side seams, for its flexibility. Spiral steel boning can be found online at corset-making supplier websites, cut to order and capped. Make sure to create a mockup before ordering your boning lengths. Corset Tips: * To shorten the corset pattern please subtract from the pattern at 1" above the waistline and smooth the pattern lines. If the hips are to be shortened, do so at 3-4" below the waistline on the pattern. * To lengthen the corset pattern 1" below the waist. If a substantial length is added, you may need to purchase additional fabric and boning. * Use pre-cut and capped 1/4" (6mm) spiral steel boning, recommended especially at the side seams, for its flexibility. Spiral steel boning can be found online at corset-making supplier websites, cut to order and capped. Check measurements for boning lengths, boning for remaining seams measure the length of the seam minus 1" (2.5cm). Make sure to create a mockup before ordering your boning lengths. If you are using a boning coil and tipping the ends yourself I recommend at least 6 yards. Better to have a bit more than you need than to be in the midst of a project and need just a touch more than you have.
