Rubber Corset

The painful fingers were worth it.
I had a pile of rubber laying around from back in the day that I made rubber jewelry. What to do with a pile of sturdy rubber? Make a corset ofcourse!

Sadly, my sewing machine was no match for this thick material and I ended up buying myself some leatherpoint needles and sewing the entire thing by hand. I also added some reflective tape to the seems. It looks awesome under a stroboscope.

Thadhaa.

Ive never made a corset before, and would love to make one just like this only through a little victorian in it. I would love to know how to make this, the patterns, and how you do get it so sturdy at the top and bottom. reply would be very much appreciated

Probably a stupid question, but did you bone this corset?

This is lovely! :3

Just wondering, how hard are leatherpoint needles to work with? I've been dying to make myself a corset (not from rubber, haha) but my mom's sewing machine kinda sucks and it won't handle that many layers of material/ that thickness. Thanks! :3
