Of corsets and Bustles: Madame Red

Sat Nov 14, 2009, 7:22 PM
So, I'm going to need a little help from my Corsetry/bustle making watchers. I've decided to make a wild stab and try my hand at making madam red from Kuroshitsuji. [link]

However I'm having trouble pinning the proper corset and bustle for the era (which is just described as Victorian) I think I'm right when I say a late 1800. However her bust is very, um, lets say pronounced. ;) So I'm having trouble finding a pattern with a cup into instead of something that squishes. I was thinking something like this Nettie Corset, which is a late 1800 but I can't find a pattern, only a place that makes the corset for you. But I quickly found this one from Farthingales [link] which looks like it might do the trick! I was just wondering if any of my watchers with more experience in this era could let me know if I am going in the right direction.

Also, the skirt would be made as two layers and the top one would be pulled up to sit at the base of the tailbone if I am correct right? Also, the high heel spats could be easily achieved by buying a pair of normal heels in this day and age and attatching a pair of home made spats?
