VIDEO: The Waspie Corset Belt
Hi everyone! Hope you're loving the Waspie Corset Belt. In this month's video, I'm sewing this corset from start to finish. You'll learn the foundations of corset making, a fabulous skill to have for anyone interested in structured pieces, vintage fashion, costuming, and historical sewing. This is the first of THIRTEEN DAYS of Halloween content, so stay tuned to my Instagram and the Charm Blog for more tricks and treats.
Hope you love the video! Don't forget to download the pattern and instructions in my separate post.
Xoxo,
Gertie

Loved this xxx
How exciting xxx
I love this.
Newbie here! This video has so much info crammed into it! Thank you so much!
It's very sweet, how she is tapping in the rhythm 😁
Great video, as always! I love Gertie's pedagogy💖. And guys, did you notice, when there is the close up on the machine while sewing, we can see somebodies' feet in the background 😂 now I cannot unsee it 😜
Haha that’s Naty 😂 we’re going to work on reframing the sewing machine shots next month!
Thanks for the info...I truly appreciate any help that I can get😊
Howdy Y'all... I was looking for the links to the supplies that Gertie was talking about in the video as she was making the corset...The Boning and Lining supplies and also the tool she was using to cut the Boning with...Does anyone know where that was posted at??? I appreciate any help I can get...Thanks Y'all.
There’s a link to the boning in the instructions. There looks to be a link for the tool in the Esther instructions but it didn’t open. The name of the tool is “Greenlee 722 Boning Cutters”.
I can't wait to be a tiny waist witch this year!
I was looking for something like this, thanks Gertie. PS: got my fabric for the Scout Dress, red tartan
Love it! Haunted Mansion is one of my very favorite rides.
I love it. I was hoping for a corset like this.
I made an under bust corset last year. I was really pleased with it but I couldn't get hold of the ribbons to do the thing up! I think this one, being smaller heightwise, may be easier. I would wear it under my clothes as I am too old to be sporting a waspie!!! Watching your video I noted you didn't sew all the channels top to bottom or bottom to top. I was always told to stitch the channels the same direction each time, i.e. top to bottom for all of them as in the seams of a skirt. Does it matter in the case of a corset? A tutor on Craftsy says it does.
I noticed that too. Probably not so much on the waspie because it’s shorter but it’s still a good habit to practise, especially on fabrics more likely to warp.
What a great video! So much fun. This will definitely be made a couple times.
OMG! Been thinking about getting one. Might try making one for myself😁
I am screaming!!!!! I’ve wanted to make one for so long!
Gertie walked, so I can run into Dapper Day as Jolly Holiday Mary Poppins. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Oh my goodness, I just drafted a corset pattern for my Halloween costume (it is an over the bust) but this one is great to add to my pattern library! So excited :)
OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!!!!
Awesome! Now we can make belts for popover and cinch it dress

Yes! I thought it might be the Alligator girl! Adorable!
So exciting! I can’t wait to see how people use this in their own looks!
Really cool and original!
