Corset Guide
A Victorian style guide focused on the evolution of the corset throughout history.
A close up of the final corset guide made from a lino print, and printed in risograph.
Corset and girdle lino prints as smaller illustrations inside my guide.
I worked in the style of Millie Amber to doodle some corset designs.
I was inspired by 1700s corsets in creating some designs of my own.
I looked at the aesthethic of Victorian corsets and vintage girdles as prompts for my theme. I drew my corset out using a mono print method which made a quirky style. However this wasn't the look I was going for.
I thought it could be a good idea to make a corset box for my guide to fold inside of. I did some designs for it and tested them out in drypoint. But I wasn't keen on this idea in the end.
I tried a different style corset out in drypoint. This created an old, gothic feel.
I was inspired by Victorian textile patterns and doodled some floral patterns out as potentials for my corset pattern.
