Description
Step into a world of elegance, romance, and refined craftsmanship with our Fit For the Ton: A Regency Corset Experience. In this immersive three-day workshop, you will create your very own fashion corset designed not just for structure, but to be seen. Whether layered over a flowing ball gown or styled with your favorite pair of jeans, this corset is made to elevate your wardrobe and remind you that beauty and whimsy belong in everyday life. Throughout the experience, you will learn essential corsetry techniques including proper structuring, accurate lacing methods, and how to apply binding for a clean, professional finish. Each step is thoughtfully guided, ensuring you leave with both a stunning garment and the skills to continue your sewing journey. To truly capture the charm of the era, guests will be treated to an elegant refreshment service featuring delicate finger sandwiches, rich desserts, and a curated selection of loose-leaf teas, catered by Indulge Café. This refined experience adds a touch of luxury to the workshop, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of a regal atelier where creativity and indulgence decadence beautifully intertwine. Your instructor, Shelah Pleasant, creator of Lady Lilith, brings both technical expertise and artistic passion to the classroom. A graduate of MC College with a diploma in Fashion Design and Apparel Production, Shelah specializes in custom formal wear that celebrates the beauty of every body.
