Outlander Project: Beginner 18th Century Stays (Corset) using Simplicity 8162

Hello I’m Sophie. Welcome to the beginning of my sewing journey, come along with me through all the mistakes and seam ripping! And hopefully feel some solidarity that there are others bumbling their way through this hobby.

This is the third video of a series creating a full 18th century outfit, which I will admit is definitely Outlander inspired. And I finally got around to making an intro slide for the video! I’m using the Simplicity 8162 pattern created by American Duchess to make these, and I’ll be loosely explaining the steps as I go for this pair of stays/corset. This video isn't really what I would call a "How To" because I have no idea what I'm doing most of the time, maybe more of a moral support video to those like me.
Disclaimer I didn’t bother paying any attention to the instructions that came with the pattern, and instead just constructed them how I have seen and read about them being made, which might have been a bit foolhardy but 🤷‍♀️
