Corset dresses generally come with a tight and clinching effect, which looks stylish but not very comfortable. This factor has generated the idea of a corset top that is equally stylish, stunning and sexy. The most significant part of a corset top is that it is very comfortable. A corset top adds zing to your daily outfits and it makes a great party wear. Have you ever thought of designing your own corset top? It can be as glamorous and sexy like the available alternatives in the market. Here are some tips to make personalized corset tops.

Things you need:
Firstly, gather the required items that you need to make your corset top. You would require strong fabric like leather, bengaline, brocade or satin. Other essentials include thread, pins, plastic tubing, rings, ribbon and of course, sewing machine. Collect your corset dresses pattern first. Now, go through the instructions given on the pattern of corset dresses. You will get instructions on cutting and pinning the fabric. Position the tubes and cut according to your waist and bust to avail perfect fitting of the wear.

Measurement and Stitching:
Measure the width of your bust and add 1 inch to allow seam. Now, measure the corset length and that should be right from your armpit to the waistline. Again add one inch to allow seam. Take bright fabric to design the rear part of your closet. If your bust line is with the range of 28 inches and 32 inches, then use 9 inch for the front-panel width. Increase the front-panel width to 11 inches, if your bust line is larger. Now, you need to cut your Corset Length dimension by Side Panel dimension. For this purpose, the fabric must be in dissimilarity with the dazzling, patterned front panel. After cutting the Corset Length dimension, fold it partially and do cutting to have two similar pieces. Now, do the stitching work to join the front panel to each side panel. The stitching must be done in a straight as well as zigzag manner to keep away any untying edges.

Ribbon sewing:
Fold the ribbon in half and get the middle point. Put this middle point of the ribbon right on the middle of the front panel’s base. Tie the ribbon in such a way that it looks laced up. You can form a few outsized crisscross points, or make a bunch of small zigzags. That’s according to your fashion requirement.

Back:
Use scarf, fabric strip of ribbon to lace up the back. Lacing up to the length of 40 inches to 60 inches makes that sexy statement on your corset top. Start lacing up from the bottom and gradually rise upwards in the similar fashion as you tie up a sneaker.

Choose the color of the fabric according to the occasion and weather. Light colored fabrics go very well to provide that hot summer look. Whatever styling you choose to make corset dresses, remember that it must suit your personality and enhance your style statement. Making your own corset top is a great way to achieve that.
