Step 6Cutting your boning.
Boning is the stuff that keeps your corset up while you are doing whatever you are doing. It also keeps it from getting nasty rumpling when you sit or bend.
--SKIP THIS IF YOU HAVE STORE BOUGHT BONING--
Measure the length of your corset at its longest. Cut lengths of the plastic container with a width of about 1/2 more or less.
Now, take your lining fabric and sew a little pocket for the boning over each seam. Make sure the boning will fit. Slip the boning into the pocket and sew it up to keep it from falling out. These little pockets will make it more comfortable to wear your corset by covering the seams, and keeping it up by holding the boning. I suggest going over your stitches a couple times to make sure that they are very strong.
You will also have to put a peice of boning along each side of the spine.
