TECHNICAL EXERCISE: MONARCH CORSET

The Monarch Corset, aptly titled for its resemblance to the graceful butterfly, pays homage to the rich history and craftsmanship of corsetry. The creation of this corset involves a blend of traditional and innovative techniques. Built upon a sturdy layer of coutil, known for its strength and durability, ensures that the corset will retain its shape over time while providing a supportive foundation for the wearer. Metal boning, selected for its flexibility and strength, is inserted within channels created in the coutil. These channels, strategically placed to contour and shape the body, contribute to the corset's ability to sculpt the wearer's figure. Couture techniques are employed to enhance the overall aesthetic and longevity of the garment. The Monarch Corset is a celebration of both traditional corsetry techniques and innovative design choices. Through the amalgamation of meticulous construction, thoughtful material selection, and a commitment to pushing the boundaries of the medium, this corset serves as a symbol of empowerment and personal expression.
