Le Corset

After it was decided to produce a corset for the character, I set about constructing the simplest form of 19th century corset I could research and develop. I went with a plain five panel corset with bust, that sat comfortably in front of the BP's and sat over the waist to a point. I drafted a corset type from the "Corsets and Crinolines" book. an 1860's corset that fit the bill perfectly. Marking off the corset sheet using the models measurements, I drafted the corset and using techniques from Defining Practice, I marked the fabric with thread. I wanted a single layered corset so I used cotton drill and decided to tryout a theory by placing the bones within the seams of the corset and in the middle of most pieces I used cotton tape as the bone Chanel's.
Within the Disney Parks, bones or rigiline are not normally used as this effects the cast members comfort and mobility. The garments are usually fitted to those with the correct "healthy athletic" body shape, also that would represent the character. So Disney employ performing cast members with the correct athletic body rather than placing someone in dis comfort to portray a character.
