Step 4. Cut out the basic shape of the corset (rectangular), then sew the edges together with a sewing machine or by hand

At this point, sew the hem to the edges and if the corset has hooks, add straps (to which you will need to make the hems). Sew the template onto the corset itself to cover it completely.

Advice

  • For the material, choose a satin fabric to make it look like the dress cost a lot. If you want, use different colored fabrics as well, however, for a more elegant look it is advisable to use plain colored materials.
  • Use the leftover fabric to make bows to cover uneven seams.
