Butterick Patterns B4669 Misses' Corset, Size EE (14-16-18-20)

Living history enthusiast here. Going for a "Caravaggio painting style." This pattern worked out great for me. I am well-endowed, and also a singer and musician, and having my "generous" bustline smushed into a Tudor corset doesn't really work out for me. So I wanted something with more room for the girls, so decided to indulge my great love of Baroque paintings. I bought the wrong size at first, and didn't realize it till I cut it and couldn't return it. The numerical sizes listed are not standard American sizes, so read carefully before you choose. No harm, I have a tween daughter. So I just kept it and ordered the larger size package. Pattern is easy to follow and versatile. There is a wide variety of variations one can make with this pattern set. Corset is comfortable and very well fitted. If you've never made anything this fitted, I recommend first building a basic one with scrap. What I did was use some old scrap corduroy to make a test run, because these things require a specific fit. After some tweaking and experimentation, I used the test corset as the lining of the actual corset. Fits great!

This pattern was great. Easy to follow and makes for very comfy and cute corsets.

Ever have to wear one of those over the counter back support/brace? Remember how ugly, hot and bulky they looked? Well I have to wear them and I'm sick of the way it make a nice dress look, so I'm going to make something I can wear over a dress or blouse that doesn't look ugly. I've made these before for costumes but had miss placed my patter during moving. Was so happy to find a replacement and with more then just one corset/bodice idea. Made with the right materials and a few miner adjustments for my personal size also needs these are going to turn out great. Still have the first ones I ever made and I use them with my long skirts add a nice shirt or blouse and you have a neat outfit. If you haven't made one before choose the simplest one to make, make sure you have everything you need and don't panic if you have any problems, you can always remove the stiches and do it again.

I didn’t realize this was bigger than the size I needed but the pattern was easy to follow so I was able to size it down and get it to work. I recommend always making a draft piece first so you can adjust the pattern as needed before cutting into your nice fabric you are using for the final piece. I love that the final piece is reversible.

The pattern was easy to follow and understand

It has been a long time since I have sewn from a pattern -- I gather this is typical but I wish I'd known before ordering. The body size chart is not on the outside of the pattern, only deep inside on the instructions.

Received a beat up and used copy. Everything seems to be there however.

These bodice patterns are perfect for ren faire or re-enactment costumes! I made one for ren faire and easily attached a skirt to the bodice itself for an easy-to-wear piece. Wonderful and easy to use!

While I wasn't able to sew the boning very neatly when you look on the inside, it still looks great when worn!

Used to make for an elf costume. I love how it turned out and gonna be using the pattern again. All I will say is do not underestimate how long this will take you to make!

Great pattern, prompt service
