Corset Kit-19th c. Juliette

$110.00

Recommended for Intermediate to Advanced stitchers.

Build your own 19th c. corset with our “Juliette” Corset Kit. This kit includes everything you need to make your own beautiful corset. Corset kits come in white or black cotton coutil (other colors by request) in our full range of sizes. *Please note, piping edge as shown is optional, we recommend a bound edge for ease of construction.

The Juliette is a classic 19th century hourglass shape and can be used for a great range of silhouettes. Lightly boned, it smooths the line of the body from bust to hip. The Juliette is cut in the shorter French style of the period from shaped pieces. Corset is finished with grommeted backs and adjustable back lacing.

Each kit includes:

  • pre-cut corset pieces in white or black cotton coutil

  • instruction guide

  • steel and spiral bones and bone casing

  • silver or black grommets

  • tipped lacing in white or black

  • yardage of matching cotton to make bias edging (or optional piping)

Kit includes grommets but not the grommet setting tool. We recommend Richard the Thread for your grommet setting tools: Richard the Thread
Optional grommet service available- Ship us your finished corset and we will insert the grommets for you.

Sizes are based on our standard size chart.
