Before sewing a corset, you need to pick up the fabric. The most practical is considered a special silk fabric, as well as damask. For lining use coarse calico, satin, satin, cuirze, lion and other fabrics. If two cotton fabrics are used to make the corset, the denser will go up, and the less dense one will go down.
