TSU-032 Corset Cover, Camisole, 19th Century Underpinning Sewing Pattern

Corset covers protect the corset from rubbing on the bodice of the dress and hide the bones of your corset giving you a smoother look. A corset cover protects the corset from soil and dirt from the outside, unlike the chemise which is meant to protect the corset from the body underneath. Corset covers also hide the bones of your corset, giving you a smoother look. If for some reason you do not wear a corset, but instead a modern bra, a corset cover is essential to help hide that fact.

TSU-032 Corset Cover pattern gives you a corset cover using two methods of construction.
Style A uses a simple casing and drawstring at the neckline.
Style B uses a round of beading eyelet and ribbon instead of the casing.

Both allow you to adjust the neckline to suit your body and use a drawstring at the waistline for additional fitting, instead of darts. Either style can be made with or without sleeves depending on your personal preference, the desired use, and the Era you wish to portray.
