Matching Boneless Corset and Bolero
Five hours of work resulted in one of my favorite projects to date. This corset and bolero were created from a single jacket which was cut in half.
There were two goals here. First was to have a proper bolero/shrug. Up until this point, all I had was the shrug made from a shirt.
The second was to get away from boned corsets. I love them, but they can get uncomfortable. However, I need something to cover where my blouses and skirts come together. The answer was this non-boned corset.
A full description of how the items were created can be found on my blog, History, Interrupted, in an article entitled Improvising Steampunk Fashion; or, the Murder of a Perfectly Good Jacket.
