Introducing...the Foundations Collection!
Ooh la la! Let’s make something fancy to wear underneath all of your favorite dresses!
The Foundations Waist Cincher and Petticoat is the first release in our new Foundation Collection line of patterns.
While your body is perfect exactly as it is and wearing a waist cincher is not necessary for any Charm pattern or design, it does help to create an accurate vintage silhouette, emphasizing the bust and hips while reducing the waist. I especially love the contrast of a nipped-in waist with a full skirt, which is why we paired this waist cincher pattern with the Foundations Petticoat.
We had so much fun creating these patterns for you, and I'm thrilled to release them today! There's even a Waist Cincher sew-along video if you want company as you sew your own waist cincher. (We didn't do a Petticoat video, because who wants to watch someone ruffle over 50 yards of fabric? 🤣)
You can check out the Foundations Waist Cincher and Petticoat here.
Happy release day - and happy sewing!
xoxo,
Gertie

I love this!
Because heirloom organdy and silk organza can cost the earth... Vogue fabrics has stiff white organdy and Dharma Trading has white and black silk organza very reasonably.
I am in the Inner Circle ... new to this ... how do i find the direct messages on Patreon please?
Patreon has hidden it quite a bit... Look for Community, then Direct Messages in the browser. On mobile its harder... :( Same Community double chat bubble, but then look for the letter at the top of the screen for direct messages.
Orrrhh. I need this! So this in a new range? Oooh and waiting for the hint for tomorrows release. It’s torment having to wait another day when we live here in Aus..
I swear, you were reading my mind. I wear corsets all the time, but I always wanted to make my own. This couldn't have come at a better time!
Oh my gosh, I’m so excited about this pattern set!!!! I LOVE petticoats so much, and I was actually just thinking recently that I needed to just make 1 good one instead of having to haul around the 3 that I usually layer 😹
I’m so happy with this pattern!! I’ve been wanting to make myself a petticoat or two, just haven’t been up to all the calculations. So to get this, PLUS the waist cincher! Soooo awesome! Thank you! You all are the best!!
Omg!!! I am so excited right now!! I have tried making a petticoat before and it was utter disaster, I’m sure it will work with Gertie’s pattern and instructions this time!!! THANK YOU!!
I’ve been waiting all my life for this! So girly and wearable.
I am IN LOVE! Now just tell me the secrets of lacing yourself into that cincher solo… alllllll of the secrets!
Lacing the back with bunny ears at the waist. Then you can either pull them yourself (if you have the right combo of mobility and arm strength) or hook them on a doorknob and use that to pull. https://www.corsettraining.net/corset-lacing-how-to-lace-a-corset/
Wow how wonderful xxx
New and improved - love it!
i’m sick in bed and would totally watch someone ruffle fifty yards of fabric. asmr ftw 🤒
Great heavenly confections! I must know the details on the multi colored one.
It looks like 3 layers. The light one doesn't look quite as full to me but I could be wrong.
Wow!! What skill level is it? Can't see on their website
I don't think it says; not so much hard as that it is ruffles forever and possibly with fabric that frays and slides. I totally endorse the ruffle foot recommended and think it has been long enough since i made similar that I've forgotten that I swore I would never again.
Very girly & beautiful 😍
Oh, YESsss♥️
This ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Wow! I love this!
Oh la la is right! Yay!
I made one petticoat from the old pattern... It was a lot of gathering 😬 IDK if I dare again, but the multi coloured is so cute
I love this so much! 🖤
