How To Sew An Edwardian Summer Corset | Cotton Net Aida Cloth | Historical Sewing

In the Edwardian era, summer corsets were made of "summer netting" - a leno-weave cotton net fabric with twisted threads. I was lucky to find a similar fabric for my Edwardian summer corset! 😀 I made my Edwardian summer corset as historically accurate as possible: My corset is a single-layer corset with lapped seams, cotton twill binding, cotton Valenciennes lace & silk ribbon trim and a corset hook at the front - this corset hook helped to keep the dip waist of early Edwardian skirts in place. I made this as lightly boned Edwardian sports corset: But you can add more boning if you want. Turn on captions for sewing instructions.
