A pattern for an Edwardian Corset.
This is what Black Snail Patterns shares about this pattern:

This is a sewing pattern for an Edwardian Straight Front Corset worn from 1901 to 1910.

Developed as "healthier" advancement to the classic hourglass corset it was branded later as the most harming and uncomfortable corset ever. From today´s perspective you can wear a straight front corset without fear of secondary damage for the body if it is worn by the hour.

This corset is a single layer corset and should be made of corsetry Coutil. Due to the quite simple construction without gores even a less experienced sewer can handle this pattern.

Also suitable for steampunk costumes.

The pattern comes with detailed and illustrated sewing instructions in English and German.

It is a multi-size pattern, you can choose between US 8-18 (EU 34-44) and US 20-30 (EU 46-56).
