This bustier is the one from my Shield Maiden Outfit, which I can wear as a medieval piece. A bustier is easy to make as long as you have a good pattern and a good fabric. All mine are or could be made from the same pattern. The difrence is you make it longer or shorter, as you wish. Pattern        The first I have use is McCall’s 8937 which have only three piece, 2 front and a back. Fabric        This bustier was made from a fabric which is something between suede and velvet (an unknow fabric). For your bustier to be rigid, you must add interfacing. Advice        I find eyelets in an impair number to have a better effect.
