I have made a satin corset bodice with a corset tie back.  The problem I am having is that the bodice is creasing under the bust to waist as I pull it in to fit.  I have added bones to the front and sides to try to hold it more rigid but it is still happening.  Can anyone suggest a solution? Thanks!

Re: Corset style bodice

Dear loz26,

The part that is creasing is longer than the body. That is why it is creasing. To resolve the problem, you need to raise the narrowest part of the corset higher for the waist line. Whoever you are sewing the corset for has a shorter waist than the corset. 

Happy sewing,

Nehzat
