(By Linda Sparks) Are you intimidated by the thought of building a corset from scratch? Fear no more! Don’t pay hundreds of dollars for a custom corset. There is a brand new book, written by an expert in the field, that will take you step by step through the entire procedure. The focus of the book is a Victorian era corset but the process is similar for all eras. The author uses commercial corset patterns as her basis for construction (we carry the Laughing Moon pattern). What makes this book even more exciting is that I know the author, and can speak with authority when I say she really knows her subject. Photos and diagrams throughout. Hard, 8 ½ x 11, 77 pp ISBN0973735805
