The inner corselette, one of the hallmarks of a couture gown, is considered a challenging project by many sewers. Detailed information on the process is hard to find and it's difficult to know where to start.

Bodice Engineering: Mastering the Inner Corselette offers a solution by introducing the fundamental techniques to design and sew an inner corselette, giving you the confidence to create this structural foundation garment with professional results. Divided into two sections, you'll find step-by-step instructions to equip you with the know-how to build an inner corselette, followed by an in-depth look at the construction of six garments, each designed to teach particular skills and inspire your creativity.
