These corset patterns were taken directly from online editions of De Gracieuse magazine. These are only the Ladies corsets, I did not include the children's and teen's corsets. All boning placement and markings are as they are on the original patterns, but the text notations for those markings were too small to read in the scans, so I couldn't include them. There is no seam allowance included. The patterns are presented below in chronological order. Most of these patterns have a finished waist of 22-26".
Note:
Some of the patterns have bundles of lines above some of the boning
channels on back pattern pieces. According to the magazine, some
patterns call for four short rows of cording at the top or bottom edge of some
back boning channels, in order to make the end of the boning less
visible.
The
groups of small, narrow lines that are on some patterns pieces that
start at the edge of the pattern piece indicate grainline.
