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 an unknow fabric(that is what it says on the tag at the fabric store). For your bustier to be rigid, you must add interfacing. Advice I find eyelets in an impair number to have a better effect.

Here it is worn with my Double Sleeve Changing White Cotte. It's a little short to be worn wit just a cotte and looks best with a shirt and skirt or pants. I know it looks black on the picture, but it is actually a dark green colour.
