@sewingnapoleon: The stitching on this 1902 waist cincher is not perfect. Does that mean it’s bad? NO! Too often I see beginners sewists give up because their stitching isn’t “perfect”. Here is a close-up of a corset from @historycolorado to show that Victorian seamstresses weren’t perfect, either. It’s not about being perfect, it’s about growing as you learn your craft. Hang in there, my aspiring corsetiere! #historicalsewing #1902corset #howtosew #corsetsewingtips #howtosewacorset

Ms. Mod :

They just liked them tiny. Like I can’t imagine how upset they were if they had to rip their work

birdy :

wdym not perfect?

Ira | The Gay Ethnographer :

And anyone who’s seen a Worth gown or any classic couture gown up close knows, they were cutting corners and piecing and doing all sort of things. Nothing is perfect.

Sewing w Jae :

I think those loook good? 🤣😭

Sommy- 🔞MDNI🔞 :

long as it holds who caaaaares!

Unicorn Misanthrope :

Unless your seams are sewing up a spacesuit, I don't care how pretty they are.I am just impressed that you made something that I can't...

Axi :

Practiced stitches after years of sewing should be expected to look incredibly skilled to us who have a fraction of their experience, but that doesn’t mean they were magic 🪄 nor are we just worse humans. The consequence of automating the practice is that very few of us are practiced anymore.

brick girl from lego movie :

the inside of any garment looked delapitated before they started intentionally making linings, like even couture gowns were like this

yoalysd :

How is it supposed to look like if done the right way? I know nothing about stitches, I'm really curious.

Pou and pusheen :

1902 is the start of the Edwardian era

Iona Prentice :

BRB, sending this to my mom and grandma, aka the stitch police.

Chloe :
