The Making of a Couture Corset

The Making of a Couture Corset

Every couture corset begins with an idea — a spark of colour, a fragment of nature, a pattern that feels alive. From there, the process unfolds slowly, layer by layer.
I begin with a sketch, mapping out where embroidery will bring the story to life.

Then comes the careful choice of materials — beads, crystals, silk threads. Each element is selected not only for beauty, but also for how it will age, shine and move with the body.
The embroidery itself is where time disappears.

Hours stretch into days as beads are stitched one by one, flowers and shapes emerging almost like they are growing on fabric. There are no shortcuts, no machines — just hands, needle and thread.

When a corset is finally finished, it carries within it hundreds of hours of attention. It is not simply clothing, but a piece of wearable art — a memory stitched into fabric, unique and never to be repeated.
